[Honkai: Star Rail] The Kitten Didn't Mean to Lie

What's the scariest thing that can happen in life? For example, reaching out to touch your wife in your sleep and finding a thousand-year-old giant python. But the general of the Divine Foresight Mansion doesn't think he'd be frightened by something like that. Because he doesn't have a wife. XD However, one night, while the general was half asleep, he instinctively reached under the covers to pet the kitten there, only to pull out a girl with the same hair color as the kitten The general woke up in an instant. General: ...Wait, where's my cat? A few things to know: ※ The pairing is with the Divine General, one-on-one, happy ending. ※ The original female protagonist transmigrates. Jing Yuan doesn't appear at the beginning. The heroine turns into a cat first, then a human, and the romance begins after she turns back into a human. I'm not sure what to say Let's start with how this novel came about. I found a teacher to learn from, and I needed practice. This novel is that practice piece. Jing Yuan is my favorite. But I drew this prompt at random. When I drew the "turning into a cat" prompt, I arrogantly thought I could write it with ease, but reality hit me hard. I wrote terribly. I didn't understand stories at all. The original outline was a complete mess, riddled with mistakes. At first, I still read the comments, and everyone pointed out my problems. The Tsygonia arc should have been a flashback, not the opening, and that character was completely unnecessary to the story's structure. Eventually, I didn't dare read the readers' comments anymore, because deep down I knew this book wasn't very good. By the time I reached the final stretch, I couldn't make any progress at all. It hurt. After giving it a lot of thought, I initially figured I only needed to fix the earlier chapters, but eventually I had to admit the problem was the structure, so I started revising the outline from scratch. Teacher: I knew you'd come back. There's not much else to say. I started over, rewriting the outline and analyzing the characters. I rewrote the outline four times, and every time I turned in an assignment, I got a ton of suggestions. At last, the outline was approved. Teacher: If you keep revising, I'm worried you'll go crazy. At one point, I thought of revising and uploading chapters as I went, and I did just that. Then my editor messaged me and said I couldn't do that, because it was disrespectful to paying readers. At the editor's request, all the chapters were rolled back. Fine, then. I'd finish writing it before replacing them. Then, while I was writing, Jinjiang quietly removed the book's paywall. This was a new Jinjiang policy: it notified authors, and if they didn't reply, it had the right to make the book free. When it did so, I was in the hospital and didn't see the notification. I know I can't blame anyone for this. If I absolutely had to name someone at fault, it could only be myself. I was too weak to write a flawless novel in one go. Weakness is a sin. I wanted to write a good novel, to give everyone a quality work. But for some reason, I feel like I've been punished for this belief that I should write well. I feel an immense, incomprehensible pain. I will finish the novel. Because I never planned to give up. Jinjiang simply assumed on its own that I had. Theme: If you love someone, you'll love them no matter what they turn into.
