After I Turned In the Gossip System

A fresh-faced male college student, Li Xiaogou, transmigrates into a book and becomes a minor actor, while also getting bound to a gossip System.

--As long as any living creature appears within thirty meters of him, he can hear the gossip about three generations of its family.

Li Xiaogou says: Gossip is exhausting.

So he turns around and goes to the state: he hands the System over to the authorities.

Three days later, on a film set, an award-winning actor is arrested for taking drugs in a group.

A week later, at a charity gala, a fashion editor is exposed for abusing a minor and confesses while apologizing.

Gradually, people in Country A realize that the entertainment industry has become remarkably clean lately. It used to be one scandal a year, but now it is almost one scandal a day. Isn't the crackdown on bad actors a little too efficient?

And why is Li Xiaogou at the scene every single time?!

Li Xiaogou: = = I don't want this either. Maybe I'll leave the industry for a while and let you have a couple of living people left in showbiz.

Before long, viewers discover that Li Xiaogou has left showbiz, but not entirely.

He's there in the social news.

At the scene of a wealthy businessman's kidnapping, he's dressed as a woman and tied up alongside the businessman's daughter.

He's there in the sports news.

When a referee is arrested for taking bribes and fixing a match, Li Xiaogou is standing on the sidelines in a ball boy's uniform.

The most outrageous part is that he's even there when a spy from a supernatural organization is arrested!

Dressed in a black suit, tall and long-legged like James Bond, Li Xiaogou leaves behind a dashing silhouette.

Later, Li Xiaogou leaves showbiz, but legends of him remain everywhere in the industry.

Coming soon: The Cat I Picked Up Is a Cruel Crown Prince

Blurb:

Wen Tan, an honorably retired employee of the Transmigration Bureau, is spending her retirement in a political intrigue novel.

According to the original story, as the legitimate daughter of a minister, she is schemed against and killed because of her engagement to the Second Prince, Rong Zhao.

Wen Tan fakes her death and happily settles into a life of doing as little as possible.

By day, she is Physician Wen, saving lives and admiring handsome men on the side. By night, she is a devoted fur enthusiast, completely addicted to petting cats and dogs.

Her happy days don't last long.

The book's greatest villain, Crown Prince Rong Wei, is finally losing his mind. The man who supposedly bested a great scholar in debate at the age of six, looks as if he were carved by the gods, and yet slaughtered his way through his coming-of-age ceremony and is infamous for his bloodlust, has gone mad.

The Empress searches everywhere for someone who can cure the Crown Prince's madness. For a time, every doctor in the city lives in fear.

As if that weren't enough, Wen Tan discovers that the beloved chubby cat she dotes on seems to have gone mad too...

One moment, it is being bullied by Da Huang and meowing pitifully. The next, it's beating Da Huang until he yelps.

One moment, it has diarrhea in the courtyard. The next, it rushes into the river to wash itself in a fit of despair.

One moment, it lies back and exposes its furry belly for her to bury her face in. The next, it turns on her and hisses furiously.

That would be bad enough, but the chubby cat is getting less and less affectionate toward her.

Wen Tan can't stand for that. She is determined to make it love her!

Whenever the cat enters her line of sight, she scoops it up and buries her face in its fur from head to toe.

Gradually, the cat goes from treating her like a chew toy, to going rigid and letting her sniff only the back of its head, to finally flopping down like a cat pancake and letting her do as she pleases.

Wen Tan is delighted that her perfect cat has returned. But she never expected the kitten's possessiveness to grow more and more out of control:

She mustn't smell of other cats.

If Da Huang dares approach her, he gets beaten up.

Eventually, she isn't even allowed to say that Dazhuang from the village looks handsome!

The moment the cat hears that, it gets so angry it refuses to eat!

Wen Tan happily gives in to the allure of fluffy fur, thinking her quiet retirement will continue without a hitch. But then her family finds her, and she is forced to go through with a marriage.

*

On their wedding night, the room is dim, and the candlelight flickers.

Inside the red wedding curtains, Wen Tan is cornered.

Rong Wei raises her chin with a fingertip, tightening his hold. "Didn't you say you only wanted me? Wen Tan, you really are a liar."

Wen Tan's heart trembles. "I... I was supposed to marry the Second Prince..."

Before she can finish, she hears Rong Wei chuckle.

"Oh? Then should I... call you my sister-in-law?"

--

The moment his soul inhabits a cat's body, Rong Wei finally believes that he has truly been reborn.

The good news: he knows every plot point from his previous life, and exactly how to pave the way for himself this time.

The bad news: he is a cat now, and can only return to his own body temporarily by staying close to Wen Tan.

He approaches her in his cat form and sticks close to her, only hoping to get the chance to return to his body. But the woman keeps burying her face in his belly, rubbing him all over, and repeatedly declaring her love for him.

Rong Wei thinks about escaping, about keeping his distance, but ends up lying beside her anyway, waiting for her to pet him.

He thinks that once he has truly escaped his cat form, perhaps he can let Wen Tan stay by his side.

But the girl who tells him he is the person she loves most in the world turns around and joyfully marries his younger brother.

Rong Wei smiles.

A fickle owner deserves to be locked up and thoroughly marked by her pet, until she smells of it from head to toe and no other pet dares covet her.

Little scene:

On the Dragon Throne in the Golden Hall.

The new emperor's slightly calloused palm strokes the back of Wen Tan's neck. He draws her onto his lap, and the taut muscles beneath his dragon robe are so hot that her face flushes.

His canine teeth graze her ear.

Rong Wei's voice is husky. "Mistress, did you enjoy yourself just as much when you sniffed me back then?"

Wen Tan bites her lip. "I-I never sniffed you!"

The man chuckles. The next moment, he bites her soft cheek in a fit of pique, then asks despite knowing the answer, "Then who did you sniff? Rong Zhao? Dazhuang? Or..."

Wen Tan trembles all over. "A cat! I sniffed a cat!"

Wen Tan is grabbed by the waist and turned over.

Rong Wei: "Mistress, are cats better, or those men?"

Wen Tan QAQ: "Cats are better!"

"Meow, "

"Men are better!"

"Mm, "

"Rong Wei is the best man in the world!"

A beautiful, lazy, fur-loving heroine x a sinister, ruthless, possessive hero. The heroine is somewhat of a heartthrob.

Theme: Kindness is the foundation of a good life.
