The Protagonist's Inner Demon, but as a Cat

[Please add my first upcoming novel, My Little Beauty Ran Away While Pregnant, to your collection! Expected to launch in June. Blurb at the end.]

Blurb:

Jiang Li transmigrates into a book, becoming the protagonist's inner demon in an epic power-fantasy novel about a tragic hero's rise to power.

System: “Your mission is to defeat the protagonist and take his place when he rises against all odds and unifies the three realms! Become the strongest cultivator in the world!”

Jiang Li looks at his short, fluffy cat paws, then at the protagonist approaching with his sword drawn. He collapses into a cat-shaped pancake on the spot.

I'm done for. I just transmigrated into this book, and the protagonist's about to kill me with one swipe. :)

To save his own skin, Jiang Li struggles to cling to the protagonist's leg.

But the System won't let him slack off. If he does, he'll die on the spot.

Jiang Li's ears flatten in terror.

System: “Disrupt his Dao heart and make him feel the hardship of cultivation!”

Jiang Li looks left and right, then throws himself straight into the protagonist's arms just as he's about to meditate.

Protagonist: ...

System: “Ruin the protagonist's relationships!”

Jiang Li goes out for a stroll and successfully lures away all the protagonist's admirers. He comes home with his fur a mess, having eaten his fill and taken plenty of goodies along the way.

Protagonist: ?

System: “Destroy the protagonist's resources!”

Jiang Li bites into the pills the protagonist messed up while refining, stuffing them all into his belly in one go.

The protagonist... the protagonist is making digestive pills for the overstuffed kitty.

Gu Qinglan has been through hardship since childhood and seen every side of life.

He grew up surrounded by hatred, mockery, and curses.

Someone once predicted that one day Gu Qinglan would fall to his own inner demon and never recover.

When that day comes, he looks at the tiny kitten by his feet, not even ankle-high, and calmly raises his lifebound sword.

At the same time, the trembling kitten at his feet musters its courage and gives his shoe a tiny “meow” of a bite, then rolls away, covering its mouth in pain.

Gu Qinglan: ...

#You call this an inner demon?#

#It looks like he's the one afraid of me#

Upcoming novel: My Little Beauty Ran Away While Pregnant

Su Nian'an, a minor livestreamer with barely any followers, is betrayed by a friend. After accidentally drinking the wrong alcohol, he spends the night with Ming Jinyi, a top-tier star from a wealthy family.

Ming Jinyi promises to take responsibility for him, offering him his pick of resources and villas.

Su Nian'an says sure, sure, sure, while thinking only about getting away as fast as possible.

He does run away, but his belly keeps growing day by day.

After yet another breakdown over rising delivery prices, Su Nian'an angrily checks his bank balance.

He sees that he has only three digits in savings and gets mad about it for a moment.

To make sure the baby on the way has enough to eat, Su Nian'an decisively tosses his pride aside and goes back to find the father, utterly unapologetic.

“I'm pregnant. It's yours.”

“You're paying for formula!”

He sneaks a look at the big shot's expression and asks cautiously, “And it'd be even better if you could throw in a little extra for my trouble~”

Su Nian'an knows he's unwelcome after using underhanded means to marry into the Ming family, so he decides early on to leave as soon as the baby is born.

But after the baby arrives, Ming Jinyi, who is usually so cold, clings to him and begs him desperately.

“An'an, can we not get divorced?”

“Without a wife, I'm a weed.”

A variety show makes Su Nian'an, a minor star, famous overnight, blocking someone else's path to stardom.

That very night, news of Su Nian'an secretly meeting a married top-tier star with a child hits the trending charts. He's labeled a homewrecker who latched onto a rich family.

But then Ming Jinyi logs into his main account and fires back in person:

“What's wrong with picking my wife up from work?”

“Besides, I'm the one who pursued him.”

“I've had a crush on him since high school.”

“Thanks to my wife, I get to benefit from my son!”

The gossip-hungry netizens: ???

#Well, you've been waiting a long time for the chance to make that announcement, haven't you?#

#Stop digging. Can't you see how much someone is enjoying showing off his wife?#
