The Days I Was Carried by a Powerful Cat

I'm a little cat, and I'm a stray, too.

I'm cute, tiny, with big, sparkling eyes that can melt anyone's heart.

I'm an all-around expert at catching birds, teasing dogs, and fighting cats. I'm the boss of the fields, and I can go anywhere, even up to the sky or down into the earth!

But then, out of nowhere, with absolutely no time to prepare!

One day, someone picked me up!

Aaaaaah!

You can't just pick up a fierce little kitty who can scratch you and catch mice!

Put me down! You two-legged human!

What are you going to do to me?

I let out a ferocious, threatening yowl!

It's a fantastic way to scare off enemies. Out in the wild, I've used it to take on a hundred foes at once and claim my own territory.

But why?!

Why did this human say I was cute?!

Can you call a kitty cute?! Ha! Believe me, I'll jump up and smack your knees!

And don't try to bribe me with food! It does smell so good, though. Ah, fine. Since you're offering, I suppose I can accept.

From the owner's perspective:

A few days later, the little tabby peered into the house through a half-open window, then sneaked inside and ran over to the food bowl. Just as it was about to take a bite, I caught it. I'd been waiting for a cat to come by.

Its fur was all puffed up, and a few tufts were missing from its neck. I had no idea what it had been up to. Its little paws were dirty, too.

When the kitty saw it was me, its eyes widened, and it let out a pitiful meow. I had no idea what it was saying.

All I knew was that it rolled onto its back, showing me its soft, white belly, and gazed at me coyly.

Me: ...

I'm no gentleman. I reached out and petted it.

The kitty whined: I didn't fight anyone! Don't make me leave, okay? Please?

Content warnings:

1. The kitty won't turn into a human. She's a real cat, a tabby, and a girl who will become a mother.

2. The livestreaming feature starts in the second instance. The first world is the tutorial stage.

3. The protagonist is Chu Suyu. He's timid and afraid of ghosts, but will gradually grow. The cat is his golden finger. The human-to-cat ratio is 6:4.

4. The author can't write complicated horror plots, so just think of this as a story about a cat dealing with ghosts.

A friend, Mumu Jiu, recommends her upcoming novel, First to Flirt:

[Goofy Actress x Sharp-Tongued Movie Emperor]

Sweet romance / Both are virgins / Happy ending / One-on-one

Zhao Ranzhi is a newly famous, notorious young actress with a sweet, innocent face. Unfortunately, it's the only thing she's got going for her.

Her fans call her the "nation's first-love face," while her haters mock her as an "AI mannequin" with powerful backers.

Lu Maoxing is a movie emperor who found fame young. Aloof and cold, he's never had a single dating rumor since his debut, and he's a fixture in the entertainment industry.

The two meet on a film set. Zhao Ranzhi falls for him at first sight, and from then on, Lu Maoxing gains a human attachment who follows him everywhere.

She camps out on set every day, bringing him breakfast and acting as his human alarm clock.

When she tries to get close, he sneers, "I don't like incompetent people who got in through connections."

-

The show becomes a huge hit as soon as it airs, and Zhao Ranzhi's rapid improvement as an actress sparks intense discussion.

The behind-the-scenes clips make the real-life couple so popular that their ship catches on everywhere.

At a press conference, a reporter asks about their relationship.

Lu Maoxing hesitates, but Zhao Ranzhi answers first: "We're not close."

-

A year later, after successfully changing her image with three hit works, Zhao Ranzhi decisively blocks him on every platform, feeling light and free.

When someone brings up the past, Zhao Ranzhi posts proudly:

"I don't do publicity stunts. I'm focused on my career."

Not long after, she gets a text from the other person caught up in the center of the public debate:

"You learned how to act and now you think you can run? Not a chance."

[Bonus Scene]

At the film awards ceremony, Lu Maoxing and Zhao Ranzhi each win the Galaxy Award for Best Actor and Best Actress.

That night, Lu Maoxing posts at the exact time they first met, officially tagging Zhao Ranzhi:

"From now on, may the moonlight remain just as it was at the beginning."
