The Demon Emperor Doesn't Want to Keep Competing Anymore

[The new novel, The Number Three Gift Shop, is now open!] In his previous life, Chen He was an office worker stuck in a 996 work schedule right up until the day he died. One day, exhausted and barely able to make it home, he still had to scoop his cat's litter. Overcome by sadness, he cried out from the depths of his soul: In my next life, I want to be a cat! That very night, he died in his sleep. When he woke up, he discovered that his wish had come true: not only had he become a cat, he was now a highly esteemed pet cat belonging to the Demon Emperor. At first, Chen He had trouble adjusting to life as a cat. He instinctively tried to feed himself, felt mortified at the thought of not wearing clothes, and puffed up whenever someone petted him. But before long, the Demon Emperor's attentive care made Chen He lose himself. He started letting others dress and feed him, and even became the terror of the Demon Palace, thriving on the Demon Emperor's turf. That is, until one day, Chen He dreamed that he and the equally arrogant Demon Emperor were wiped out by the protagonist's party, without a single cat hair left behind.

He'd thought his innate spirit cat, which only needed to eat and drink to cultivate a human form, was already troubling enough. It had cultivated for a hundred years and still couldn't talk. But even more troubling was that the spirit cat had started cultivating and insisted on making him improve alongside it... The Demon Emperor, who had to give it his all just to keep up with his little cat: ...Why? Why am I caught in the rat race in both my lives?!
