The Little Divine Beast's Endless Adoration

This is a gloomy, twisted world. Depression, tears, and oppression fill it every moment of every day. The reason the world has become this way is that, over thousands of years of human evolution, something seems to have gone wrong. As people grow older, they gradually lose the ability to feel happy. In recent years, the problem has become especially severe. But the truly despairing part is that they haven't lost this ability completely. They can still vaguely remember a time in their lives when they were happy. That feeling is like sugar: so sweet that when they wake in the middle of the night and remember the taste, they're willing to trade their most precious possessions, to give anything at all, just to experience that sweetness again. So from ancient times to the present, all kinds of entertaining books, activities, variety shows, films, and TV dramas have flourished without ever fading. Anything that can make people happy is wildly popular with everyone. It was into this world that a little, dazed mythical creature named Feifei arrived. He opened his big, watery eyes wide and looked around in wonder. How could there be so many unhappy people in this world? His eyes sparkled as though filled with brilliant stars. He reached out his little hands to his father, a celebrity suffering from depression and on the verge of breaking down, and opened his arms. "Daddy, pick me up~" The Classic of Mountains and Seas says: There is a beast called Feifei. It looks like a wildcat, and keeping one can dispel sorrow. In short: This is the story of a little mythical creature who only wanted to be part of a family, but somehow became the little darling held in the hands of the whole world. A beloved, doted-on Feifei bottom x a gentle, slow-burn childhood-friend top PS: Aside from Feifei, there are no other mythical creatures or supernatural elements in this story. This is not an ensemble story about mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Updated daily, around ten in the evening. If I need to take a day off, I'll leave a note in the blurb or comments. Please note: This is a slice-of-life story about raising a child, with a universally adored, beloved little one. There are occasional plot developments, and the little one will grow up and have a sweet romance later on. The pacing is very, very slow! There is a major entertainment-industry storyline, but it comes much later. This is not a plot-driven story! If that's not your thing, please think carefully before reading! Very, very slow!!! All right, if any sweet readers ask again why the story is moving so slowly, watch out, I might hit you! For readers who only want to read about the romance, head to [Extra Chapter One: About Us]. Coming soon. If you're interested, feel free to visit the author's profile and bookmark it in advance. Superstar of the Eerie World Blurb: This is a world where the entertainment industry is exceptionally developed. Every top-tier star has tens of millions of fans, and wherever they go, they cause a deafening uproar. Flashing spotlights turn night into day. None of this has much to do with Lu Yu, though, because he's just a minor nobody in the entertainment industry. Since debuting on a talent show, his social media following has yet to break five hundred thousand. The biggest role he has ever had on a set was playing a minor underling of the second male lead, the sort who rushes in to fight on the second male lead's behalf after he waves his hand. The only time he ever got to lead a production was when a junior actor from his agency thought the script was too stupid. Lu Yu was thrown into the role at the last minute, playing the domineering CEO in a groveling-ex-boyfriend drama. The moment he opened his eyes, he'd have to grab someone by the throat. Every day, he was either demanding the female lead's kidney or her heart. Then, after the drama aired, the character was so stupid and Lu Yu's acting so stiff that tens of thousands of fans unfollowed him. Lu Yu thought he'd remain a minor nobody forever, and planned to figure out what to do once his contract expired. But then, one day, at a major industry awards ceremony, the newly crowned Best Actor, who had been standing onstage to accept his award, fainted briefly. When he came to, he suddenly charged at Lu Yu like a madman, eyes bloodshot and breath ragged, grasping his hand and pleading for his autograph in a trembling voice. The rising top-tier star who had fainted alongside the Best Actor rushed over too. She was just as flustered, ran to his side just as desperately, and firmly announced that she was his fan and wanted him to teach her how to act. Lu Yu: Um... what is this, a face-slapping power fantasy where the Dragon King returns? I wouldn't dare dream this up! Later, a group of mysterious people sealed off the entire venue, and everyone there was made to sign a confidentiality agreement. Only then did Lu Yu learn that this wasn't a power fantasy coming true. The eerie world was about to become reality! The reason the newly crowned Best Actor and the top-tier star were so desperate to get his autograph and become his fans was that he, Lu Yu, might be an unknown nobody in the entertainment industry of the real world, but in the eerie world, he was an undisputed superstar! The male and female ghosts in the dungeons would watch his dramas, then sob and beg to give him their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys. Later, after signing the confidentiality agreement, Lu Yu returned home and found a beautiful card on his bedside table. It had a line of twisted writing on it: [I will bring the world born from consuming my flesh and blood, and we will love you together.] The card was signed: [&*##@#] A string of gibberish, and his very first fan. Theme: Cherish your life, and whatever happens, don't lose your happiness.
