Pet doctor Jiao Anna transmigrates into Lone Beast, a beastfolk novel with no romantic pairing, and becomes the useless stepsister of the heroine, Lien.
Lien is a powerful lioness with a long mane.
She has led armies in battle since the age of eighteen, uniting the beastfolk continent. Countless beastfolk pursued her relentlessly along the way, but none won her favor.
Jiao Anna, meanwhile, is her useless calico-cat stepsister.
The only time the book mentions her is when beastfolk who can't have Lien use her as a substitute, toy with her, and then discard her.
In the original story, Jiao Anna lives at the mercy of countless beastfolk, eventually becoming a female beast who knows only how to please others.
After listening to the System explain it all, Jiao Anna immediately clings to Lien's leg and rolls around. "Imperial Sister, I'm the most well-behaved! Please take me wherever you go, okay? I'll brush your fur and make biscuits for you!"
Lien barely knows her little sister. She's the child her stepmother brought into the family after remarrying, a lonely, quiet girl with no presence at all.
Not knowing how to interact with the little cat, Lien can only lick Jiao Anna's fur and reluctantly agree.
Lien never expected that from that day onward, a little calico puffball would become impossible to ignore.
Jiao Anna clings to her like crazy.
Whenever they meet, she wants hugs and cuddles, and buries her face in her imperial sister's belly without a trace of self-consciousness, purring with happiness.
Lien knows Jiao Anna loves her. Whenever she appears, Jiao Anna's eyes are filled with nothing but her.
After the Empress suggests that she should consider marriage, Lien says, "Jiao Anna and I are in love. I hope you will give us your blessing, Mother."
But the Empress picks up a stack of love letters. "Are you serious? Ever since the news went out that Anna would soon be choosing a spouse, so many people have said the same thing!"
Lien takes the letters with red-rimmed eyes and looks at the names on them:
The palace's chief knight, a moon bear; the desert fox who is always at odds with her; the stern, cold snow wolf instructor; the sea demon priestess from the kingdom they just established diplomatic relations with... Why is even the Peacock Holy Mother, who swore to marry the Beast God, getting involved?
Once beastfolk become addicted to slaughter, they lose their reason and devolve into beasts.
But if they don't fight, they will be torn to pieces by savage beasts.
The warriors all believe they will spend their lives walking a tightrope amid danger, until they lose control and are killed by their former sisters.
Until they feel Anna's touch, Anna's kisses, Anna's embrace...
All their bloodlust turns into one thought: "I want Anna so badly..."
New to this world, Jiao Anna has a clear, innocent gaze. "This place is amazing! There are too many fluffy things to pet!"
Later, whenever Jiao Anna sees anything furry, feathered, or scaled, she wants to run away.
