[Complete] Coming soon: The Haunted Animal Park Is Full of Ultra-Threats, an infinite-loop horror story set in a zoo. Come check it out~ Blurb: Jian Tang was a scruffy stray cat. One day, while wandering past a film studio, he spotted a man with an open packet of little biscuits on his lap. The man had already fallen asleep. Jian Tang was starving, so he quietly hopped onto the man’s lap, stole a biscuit, and was about to run. But the next second, someone grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and lifted him up. Jian Tang kicked his grubby little paws. “...Meow?” The man frowned and held him at arm’s length, his voice full of disgust. “Where did this filthy little thing come from?” Whenever Jian Tang stole food, he got beaten. Afraid the man might toss him out in a fit of temper, he hurriedly turned on the charm, acting sweet and obedient as he blinked his big eyes and rubbed against him again and again... Until one of the man’s hands was completely black with grime... Jian Tang cautiously turned around and saw the man’s face dark with anger. He held Jian Tang far away from himself, gritting his teeth. “You steal my biscuits and get my clothes dirty. Did my rival hire you to get revenge on me?” Jian Tang: ...Huh? +++ Apparently, his unusual cuteness routine worked. The man took him home to raise him... or was it to get revenge? That night, Jian Tang curled up in a corner of the sofa, ready to sleep. Just as he closed his eyes, the man prodded him. “You’re filthy. Sleep on the floor.” Jian Tang carefully curled up on the new soft mat on the floor. At mealtimes, the man still found ways to give him a hard time. “You’ve gotten so fat lately. No more biscuits.” The next second, a bowl of even tastier eel rolls appeared in front of him. Some time later, the man picked him up and put him on the bed without a word. “What are you looking at? I’ve fed you all this good food. You can at least warm my bed, can’t you?” Jian Tang hurriedly settled down on his chest. Of course, of course. Please get some rest, dear owner. Jian Tang thought his new owner was great in every way, except that he had a sharp tongue and loved teasing cats. But there was delicious eel rice and snacks every day, which was much better than life on the streets. So Jian Tang contentedly decided he’d keep this owner! That is, until one night, he accidentally turned into a human under the covers and locked eyes with the stunned man. Jian Tang let out a wail and shut his eyes. It was over. His wonderful life was going to end that night. He’d be thrown out as a monster and forced to live on the streets again... But the next second, the man hurriedly wrapped him in the blanket, covering his naked body. With his eyes closed, he pulled Jian Tang into his arms and continued using him as a bed warmer. +++ Everyone in the country knew that the film emperor had a beautiful odd-eyed cat at home. It was adorable, with a soft, sweet meow that could make anyone fall for it. So when the film emperor livestreamed to promote his new drama, the comments were all in unison: [Big bro, show us the cat! The kitty is so sweet, I love it!] The film emperor angrily cleared the comments with one click. Love it? That cat was his! +++ The mountain’s demon king lost his precious son and had no choice but to search for him. He looked for years without finding a trace, until one day he saw the little cat in the film emperor’s livestream and froze. Wasn’t that his silly son, missing for years? He’d actually debuted in his demon form and become famous? Sharp-tongued but soft-hearted film emperor gong who loves fluffy things but won’t admit it × the demon king’s silly son, a soft and adorable cat shou who’s happy as long as he has food ★★★★★★Hand-drawn divider★★★★★★ Coming soon: The Top-Tier Star Who Spits Pearls Blurb: Lu You was a beautiful white merperson, delicate and frail, known in the entertainment industry as a pretty face with no talent to speak of. To shake off that useless reputation, Lu You joined a wilderness survival reality show. He wanted his fans to see his rugged side, and was lucky enough to be paired with the popular A-list movie star Jiang Yufeng as soon as filming began. Lu You quietly told himself he would do his best and shed his pretty-face reputation as soon as possible. But not long after they entered the mountains, Lu You twisted his ankle. He gazed at the man beside him with tearful eyes, his voice light and soft. “Could you help me up?” Jiang Yufeng: So delicate. While setting up the tent, Lu You got bitten by mountain mosquitoes. His pale arms were covered in red bumps. He turned to his partner again. “Could I borrow your bug spray?” Jiang Yufeng: What a nuisance. One day, while hiking to complete a task, Lu You accidentally lost his water bottle. He was very particular about water quality, and ordinary water would make him sick. By coincidence, he discovered that the water his partner had brought was excellent quality, and even smelled sweet. So Lu You picked up the pearls he had produced the night before and hurried over to the man. “Could I trade you a pearl for some water?” Jiang Yufeng: ??? * Jiang Yufeng thought there was something off about his partner. It was one thing that he looked so sweet and soft, without a shred of masculinity. But he was also good at staging all kinds of couple moments to make them trend together. Today he twisted his ankle and needed help, tomorrow he got bitten by mosquitoes and asked to borrow medicine, the day after that he offered pearls in exchange for water, and then... he started wandering around in front of Jiang Yufeng wearing nothing but a shirt. At last, Jiang Yufeng couldn’t take it anymore. He pulled Lu You aside and frowned. “Could you stop being so delicate?” Lu You was stunned. After that day, he stopped following Jiang Yufeng around. When he hurt his leg, he asked a staff member for help. When he forgot his water bottle, he gritted his teeth and drank ordinary water. When he got a fever, he went to the clinic at the foot of the mountain for an injection on his own. That only made Jiang Yufeng even more unhappy. Lu You thought he’d messed things up again. He hadn’t managed to get along with his partner, and could only maintain a strained truce. Until one day, severely dehydrated, he carried a bucket of water over to bathe. Jiang Yufeng happened to catch him in the act. Lu You panicked and covered his tail, stammering, “I’m not a monster.” But the man in front of him only froze for a second before lifting him out of the tub. Lu You was a bundle of nerves. Jiang Yufeng: “The pearl you gave me last time, did you make it yourself?” Lu You choked up. “Yes!” Jiang Yufeng: “Make another one for me.” Huh? . Theme: Keep moving forward, even when life gets hard.
