Daily Cuddles with the Cubs in an Interstellar Prison

[I'm bringing my next book, "Natural Enemy of Criminals? No, an Animal Photographer," soon! The blurb is at the bottom. Bookmark it if you're interested~]

Blurb:

Black Evil Land: a notorious prison planet in the interstellar realm. It lies in the most remote star system in the galaxy, with a harsh environment.

It is home to criminals scorned by the entire interstellar realm.

How the public imagines their lives: no access to brain-computers, no entertainment, and nothing to do but struggle through each day, barely managing to stay fed and clothed. Their lives are so miserable that they often get into fights and refuse to yield to one another.

Just thinking about it feels great. They deserve to suffer! They brought it on themselves by doing so many evil things!

Their actual lives: eating, sleeping, and playing with the little one.

Ever since a fluffy wolf pup arrived, everything in Black Evil Land changed.

Two people argued until their faces turned red. Listen closely: He looked at me first thing this morning. That means he wants me to play with him.

Two people argued until they started fighting. You already used that excuse to hog the little one for three days! Don't make me slap that shameless face of yours in front of him.

The little one had energy to spare and loved running wild. They covered every sharp corner in the residential area with protective padding. The little one liked flowers, so they studied the soil and planted beautiful flowers all around the residential area. The little one liked plush toys, so every home kept a collection of adorable stuffed animals...

When Black Evil Land was first established, many surveillance devices were installed.

An official who had helped select the prisoners had since risen through the ranks and remembered the cameras. He waddled onto the stage and invited citizens across the human empire to watch recordings of the prisoners regretting their crimes.

The monitors switched on.

Every prisoner looked rosy-cheeked and energetic.

The human empire's citizens, exhausted from working until they were dazed: ?

They saw the flowers, neatly tended and waving in the breeze all around the residential area.

The citizens, who lived in a polluted environment and had to breathe foul air every day because of technological development: ?

Just then, a fluffy figure appeared on screen. It was a wolf pup, clearly being cared for very well, with fur as soft and smooth as feathers. It was playing games with everyone and occasionally leaping into one person's arms, then another's.

Both the people and the little one looked incredibly happy.

The prisoners, who had been working for the future of the human empire and practically serving out a sentence, were green with envy. They erupted in collective protest.

Who are the prisoners here? Who's actually serving a sentence? Apologize to me right now!

That wolf pup looks so unhappy! Tell me what he likes to eat and play with, then send him to me so I can raise him!

[Blurb for "Natural Enemy of Criminals? No, an Animal Photographer"]

Rong Qingqi was a wandering spirit on the battlefield. He had fought for his country, and though he was defeated, he had no regrets. One sunny day, he met a sphere that called itself 0993 and enthusiastically invited him to explore another world.

0993 said it was a newly born System, on its first assignment. The task was simple: collect a complete animal encyclopedia to finish the mission.

Outside of taking pictures, he could enjoy life to his heart's content.

Hearing this, Rong Qingqi agreed.

Within an hour of arriving in the new world, Rong Qingqi had already met the police, the equivalent of the local authorities in his own world.

When the police arrived, Rong Qingqi and a young woman were standing there unharmed. A man lay on the ground curled up like a shrimp, his condition unknown.

Meeting the police's suspicious gaze, Rong Qingqi took out his phone.

In the photo, the woman and the man were walking along the same road, one behind the other. The man stared intently at her, and in the hand hidden behind his back, he held a sharp dagger.

The next day, Rong Qingqi called the police again. The same officers arrived, and there he was again.

Under their doubtful, questioning gazes, he took out his phone and played a video.

Hearing the woman's unrestrained laughter in the video, and her plotting with her lover to target her current husband's son, the officers sneered and picked up their batons.

On the seventh day, Rong Qingqi met the officers again. The same officers, and him again.

Seeing their exasperated expressions, Rong Qingqi rubbed his nose and showed them a video on his phone.

As soon as they saw it, the officers perked up. This was a real achievement. They looked at him differently now.

On the fifteenth day...

...As time went by, the officers and Rong Qingqi grew sick of the sight of one another.

Rong Qingqi: Sigh, I have to call the police again.

The officers: Sigh, it's him again. Here comes more work.

Rong Qingqi/the officers: So exhausting.

Tips: 1. Entirely fictional, with an interstellar setting.

2. No romance. Most of the story features animal forms.

3. A healing story about finding salvation.

Theme: Love and salvation.
