The Movie Emperor's Cat Who Fakes Accidents

[Content warning: The love interest is affected by his family of origin and holds back quite a bit early on, though each time he interacts with his family, he pushes back a little more. Readers who haven't experienced anything similar may not understand his behavior. If this bothers you, you can start from Chapter 28.]

Blurb 1:

After wrapping a film, Gu Lingheng politely declined the director's invitation and headed home beneath the night sky. Then he spotted a tiny kitten sitting in the middle of a path.

At the sound of footsteps, the little thing glanced back at him, then slowly flopped onto the ground, the tip of its tail lifting slightly.

Gu Lingheng's breath caught.

So cute. I want to cuddle it.

Perhaps he had been standing there stunned for too long. The kitten got up and toddled over to his feet, flopping down on his shoe and hooking its fluffy little paw around his sock. It gathered all its strength and let out a cry: "Meeeow!"

Somebody help! Someone hit a cat!

That sweet, tiny mew hit Gu Lingheng right in the heart.

Blurb 2:

Shen Jingyun is a cat spirit who became an immortal in the last batch before the founding of the People's Republic. He grew up with his grandfather in the depths of the mountains. One day, he'd pluck feathers from a peacock spirit to make a cat teaser; the next, he'd steal a pearl from a clam spirit to play with. He was practically king of the mountain.

His grandfather couldn't keep him in line, so with everyone's eager encouragement, he packed Shen Jingyun's bags and sent him off to cause trouble for his older brother, who had settled in the human world. But as soon as he reached the town at the foot of the mountain, someone stole his luggage.

Without an ID card, Shen Jingyun could only transform back into his original form and wander around, mooching food and board from pet cats.

After hearing so many tales of cats bravely enslaving their humans, he had an idea: he should find a human of his own.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he saw a handsome man who looked like he had plenty of money.

Shen Jingyun wasted no time in throwing himself in front of the man and pretending to be a victim.

And it worked.

A few months later, top star Shen Moli saw his nemesis post a picture online of himself kissing a cat, and instantly bristled!

Gu Lingheng, you bastard! First you steal my goddess, and now you won't even spare my little brother! I'm going to kill you!

Here's a little promo for my upcoming novel, The Black Cat I Picked Up Is the Villain. If you like it, please add it to your collection. Mwah!

Blurb:

After accidentally transmigrating into a novel about a fake young master and a real one as the universally hated real young master, Shen Nanfeng found a cat that was badly injured and on the verge of death.

The black cat was incredibly haughty and loved to sit on top of tall cabinets, looking down at him with regal disdain. But when Shen Nanfeng had no food, it would catch fish and bring them to him. When he forgot his keys, it would open the door for him. And when he was feeling down, it would rub against him as if by accident.

To support himself and the black cat, Shen Nanfeng decided to find a job where he wouldn't get fired just because the original owner's family targeted him: becoming the personal assistant to the original novel's unhinged villain.

The villain was incredibly haughty and loved to stand at the top of the stairs or by the window, looking down at him with regal disdain. But when Shen Nanfeng spent all his money on things for the black cat and forgot to leave himself enough to live on, the villain would take him to a restaurant to discuss business, then send him home with plenty of leftovers and snacks. And when he was feeling down, the villain would take him on vacation to a resort...

Shen Nanfeng: Why does this sound so familiar? I'm not sure. Let's see.

Shen Nanfeng was perfectly happy with his life of looking after a human-shaped big cat during the day and tormenting a grumpy black cat at night.

...Until one day, while feeding stray cats on his way home from work, a huge shadow suddenly fell over him.

A chilling male voice sounded above his head. "Now that you have me, you still want to keep other cats?"

Shen Nanfeng looked up in confusion. When he recognized the man, he looked even more perplexed.

"What, you don't even recognize your own cat anymore?" A suited brute tugged at his tie, revealing a black collar and a gold bell around his neck. He enunciated each word: "Mas-ter."
