After Becoming a Cat, I Became Everyone's Favorite

Xie Yutong is found dead at home in the prime of his career. When he wakes up, he's become a chubby, oversized cat, and is taken in by his former fellow disciple, whom he once dated.

His junior is busy, leaving early and coming home late every day, sometimes not showing up at home for months.

All Xie Yutong does each day is eat, drink, and use the litter box. He has nothing to do.

Before he can start to feel moldy, Xie Yutong decides to restart his career. He uses the small stash of money he saved before he died to get into livestream sales.

Then, thanks to a passerby's camera, he suddenly goes viral online and gets invited to appear on a reality show.

By a twist of fate, Xie Yutong finds himself back in showbiz.

After working with all kinds of male stars, each of them independently confesses their love for him.

Xie Yutong: So I'm the irresistible type?

Fans: Those cat ears are so cute! Where did you buy them? They even move!

Xie Yutong: Uh, well...

Fans: Liuguang looks so much like Xie Yutong! You should consider making your debut!

Xie Yutong: No, no, I'm not interested.

Fans: I heard there's an XX idol survival show! Why not give it a try?

Xie Yutong: No, no, I'm not interested at all!

Until one day, a talent scout shows up in his livestream: Hello, I'm a talent scout from XX company. Would you like to become a star?

Xie Yutong: No, no, I'm really not interested!

Movie Emperor Yao Heng's cat has gone viral! It's as cute as can be, and clever as can be!

This cat managed to handle an entire livestream sale all by itself!

It even finds the camera on its own, interacts with fans, and gives them an unbeatable playful wink!

It's the cat of everyone's dreams!

Yao Heng's fans: Yao Heng, stop acting and get your livestream shop going already! We want to see Mi Bao!

Yao Heng: ?

Yao Heng's fans: Mi Bao even knows how to find the camera. It's really become a little spirit!

Yao Heng: ??

Xie Yutong: You clueless mortals! I could see you weren't selling anything, so I helped boost your sales!

Yao Heng: Thank you so much.

Movie Emperor Yao Heng notices a strange newcomer on set. Whenever he deigns to speak to him, the other man dodges him as if he were a plague, and never even gives him a pleasant look.

Though the newcomer wears all kinds of designer brands, they're clearly a size too big and make him look especially scruffy.

Then one day, Yao Heng accidentally knocks him to the ground around a corner.

A pair of fluffy ears comes into view. They droop against his soft hair from fright.

Xie Yutong: Damn, this is bad!

Yao Heng: ??? A beastman?!

Much later, Xie Yutong is teaching his livestream fans how to treat animals properly and make their beloved pets happy.

Yao Heng, wearing pajamas, wraps his arms around him from behind and kisses his hair.

The fans in the livestream erupt in fury: That damn Yao Heng is treating our precious Liuguang as a stand-in!

Childhood Sweethearts CP fans: Aww, my youth has returned.

A cat who acts cute and plays the victim, and a cold, tsundere top who can't express his feelings well.

One-on-one romance. The top dotes on the bottom, who can turn into a human.

A sweet little story with an entertainment-industry idol competition, and maybe some melodramatic old-school plot twists.
