Bai Miaomiao, a pure-white lion cat who had lived for over a thousand years and ruled over her territory, was struck by a stray bolt of heavenly lightning while trying to stop a Demon Lord from causing trouble during her friend’s ascension. She was hurled from a cultivation world into the modern world.

Bai Miaomiao woke up in an deserted little alley.

The good news: Her meticulously groomed fur hadn’t been singed.

The bad news: She’d turned into a human, and a delicate girl with absolutely no muscles at that.

The kitty was furious. Extremely furious.

“Little miss, why are you out here alone in this heavy rain?”

Footsteps drew nearer, and a sinister voice came from the shadowy alley entrance as rain poured down.

Weak as she was, Bai Miaomiao did her best to steady herself and raise her slender arms.

Left hook, right hook!

If one punch wasn’t enough, then two!

Kitties have incredible vitality. Kitties never give up.

As compensation, the human Bai Miaomiao still had all the superpowers possessed by top-tier kitties, including but not limited to:

Superhuman alertness, incredible night vision, scaling walls and rooftops, the Meteor Kitty Fist, the ability to turn into liquid, high-quality sleep anywhere and anytime, everyone loves kitties, the peerless Kitty Hairdressing Technique, and the ability to open any lock, among many others.

A whole host of Bai Miaomiao’s underlings were struck into this world too, but scattered to different places.

The only ones with her were a newly formed, weak little wildgrass spirit,

and the wildgrass spirit’s perennial trash-talking rival, a little gold-eating beast.

At the same time, Bai Miaomiao learned from the Heavenly Dao System that the Demon Lord had also been struck into this world, split into countless fragments of inner demons.

The story of an irritable kitty forced to learn how to be human, setting up a trouble-solving agency and dealing with all sorts of big and small troubles.

At the same time, she gathers the Demon Lord’s fragments of inner demons and searches for her scattered underlings.

Bonus scene:

“System, why can’t I just turn back into a cat?”

“I suggest you turn me back into a cat right now.”

Bai Miaomiao smiled sweetly at the Heavenly Dao System, her fists clenched tight.

[I mean, it’s possible... The System just... isn’t sure...] the Heavenly Dao System stammered, hesitating.

“Then hurry up and do it! Stop wasting time!” Bai Miaomiao shook her fist.

A tiny, tiny, long-haired white lion cub appeared in front of the wildgrass spirit and the little gold-eating beast.

The little kitten meowed ferociously, but before she could throw a kitty punch, she went splat and fell onto her back with all four paws in the air.

“Turn me back right meow!!!” the little kitten Bai Miaomiao angrily meowed.

[Don’t hit me, don’t hit me! The System knows a great place with lots of delicious fish where fishing is allowed.]

[Why don’t we go there right away?]

(PS: Bai Miaomiao is a playful homophone of the white lion cat Bai Miaomiao, whose name sounds like “white meow meow.”

Bai Miaomiao: Pun alert! Dock their pay! Dock their pay!!)

>>> Novel blurb:

Zuo Ruoxia is a walking disaster.

From childhood onward, bad luck followed her wherever she went. Bird droppings from the sky, bumps, scrapes, and falls were all part of her daily life. In just one year at work, she managed to bring down three companies.

Over the years, she developed an extraordinary physique, the ability to run fast, a water- and energy-saving lifestyle, including three-minute showers, and a sixth sense for danger.

And a heart tempered a thousand times over, stronger than steel.

Zuo Ruoxia was unexpectedly trapped on Hope Planet and couldn’t log out. Aside from monsters, she was the only human on the entire planet.

And her starting luck was a critical hit of -999.

Since she was already there, Zuo Ruoxia decided to make the best of it. She fought monsters, farmed, and built a shelter.

Gradually, she gained some strange, nonhuman companions.

A little dog with no tail.

A shapeshifting little skeleton.

A duckling from the Number Legion.

A man-eating flower that loved mint.

A monster obsessed with work.

And many more.

A month later, the humans of Blue Star entered Hope Planet.

The activity month began.

Beginner month, natural-disaster survival month, rest-and-recovery month...

Hope Planet was in turmoil.

Inside Zuo Ruoxia’s shelter:

Everything was peaceful and harmonious.

In the livestream, intelligent beings from beyond the solar system were repeatedly left dumbfounded by Zuo Ruoxia and her companions.

The heroine’s goal: Bring alien civilizations to ruin.

Bonus scene:

Watching Zuo Ruoxia charge toward his shelter with a horde of monsters, the villain gaped in disbelief. “Did she... did she lure all those monsters here?”

The villain’s underling stumbled over. “Boss, this is bad! The defenses around our shelter have failed.”

[Reader’s Guide]

Farming + cute pets + monster fighting + a little livestreaming + a little infrastructure building.

Not a game-world story.

A slow-paced slice-of-life story, set in a very loosely imagined world.

The heroine grows over time. She is not an overpowered expert.

Theme: A loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
