Little Monsters Are the Darlings of the Variety Show

Yu Xiaojiu is the last nine-tailed cat kitten in the world. For the sake of her healthy growth, the cat-demon elders decide to find her a pair of parents to raise her. And so the third elder's great-great-great-granddaughter, an award-winning actress, and her wealthy husband catch the elders' attention. A film Xu Yan made at twenty-seven won her the last Best Actress award given in the country and brought her to the threshold of international cinema, but it also cost her the spark that made her acting shine. Before leaving the entertainment industry, she chooses a laid-back parenting reality show set in a mountain village. She loves children and wants to say goodbye to her fans, so she plans to let the production team find an ordinary child for her to look after. Who could have guessed that a quick trip home would end with her elders thrusting a daughter into her arms? Xu Yan: ... When the show begins, Yu Xiaojiu, a pretty, lively girl who looks like a pampered little princess, climbs up a tree in no time to get some loquats. The actress nervously waits below with her arms out, only for Yu Xiaojiu to toss the loquats down to her? The production team assigns a task: the guests have to catch fish in the stream, and anyone who fails gets nothing but vegetables. The other adults try everything from nets to baskets, struggling and failing to catch a single fish. Yu Xiaojiu rolls up her sleeves and effortlessly catches one fish in each hand? The fans who tuned in for the actress switch sides. Fans: Sorry, Actress, but I think the little one is even cuter. But... Why do the little one's cat ears grow out whenever the cameras are off and she's happy? And why does a cat tail sometimes appear too? More than one? Xu Yan: Is there something wrong with my daughter? Pre-release: The Big Shot Tears Up My Villainess Script Before starting university, Jiang Yan binds herself to a System. It tells her she's actually a villainess in a campus novel, and that the story's unstoppable forces will kill her in the end. But since she's bound to the System, if she follows the villainess script, she'll have a chance to change her fate. Jiang Yan: What are we waiting for? Hand over the script! But why does the script keep getting torn up by someone out of nowhere whenever she tries to follow it? * System: Go into this room. The lock will break, so you won't be able to enter the competition, and the female lead will win! Jiang Yan clenches her fist: Okay! The aloof professor brings someone to pick the lock: It would be a dereliction of my duty to let any student miss the chance to compete. Jiang Yan: ? I don't want to go!! System: See that girl on your left? You need to accidentally spill juice on her, giving her and the female lead a chance to become friends. Jiang Yan, full of confidence: Got it. The research prodigy, covered in juice: Did I scare you? I wasn't watching where I was going. Let me walk you back. Jiang Yan: Aren't you supposed to be mad at me? System: You need to fall over with the female lead so the male lead realizes his feelings. Jiang Yan, not quite sure of herself: Okay... I guess? The business tycoon, back on campus for a talk, picks her up faster than the male lead: Why are you still so careless? Jiang Yan: ...I just want to follow the plot. Why is it so hard!!! The Amnesiac Demon Lord's Days as a Spy in the Demon Realm Li Baishuang was taken in by her master when she was young and spent thirty years being lovingly raised and taught by him. So when she learns that someone is needed to infiltrate the Demon Realm, she eagerly volunteers. At first, everything goes smoothly. As a model undercover agent and a born actor, she fits right in with the demons. Then she meets a demon general whose gaze is strange, as if he knows who she is. Li Baishuang is shocked and feels guilty, but after observing him, she sees that he goes back to normal. She thinks she imagined it, but afterward, the demon generals, and even the Demon King, all look at her strangely. Even the man known as the second most powerful figure in the Demon Realm, just below the half-Demon Lord, gives her a strange look. Li Baishuang: Something really is wrong. The generals and kings of the Demon Realm have been troubled lately. The cultivation world is making a fuss again and has sent over some spy. They can't be bothered to deal with them, but why does one of the spies look exactly like their Demon Lord? Could this be another play the Demon Lord has cooked up? The Demon Lord really is the Demon Lord, if she can get people from the cultivation world to join in the act! As her subordinates, they won't lose to those self-righteous types from the cultivation world! The one person who knows the truth: ... I really shouldn't have let the Demon Lord go out alone. How can she be so much trouble? (Basically, the Demon Lord's eccentric style sends everyone else off the rails too. There won't be a righteous-versus-demonic war or anything. I'm just writing this for fun.) Theme: Love life and treat others kindly.
