Shen Chaoyan transmigrated.
One second, the blind girl was buying a rice ball at a convenience store. The next, she had stepped into an alien interstellar world. Neon signs flickered indistinctly, silver-white buildings rose all around her, and strangely shaped beastfolk hurried past.
Amid deafening crashes, Chaoyan smelled a heavy stench of blood. Her legs gave way, and she fell to the ground.
A graceful, tall Doberman police chief briskly locked electronic handcuffs around her wrists.
Great. She had transmigrated, and now she was an undocumented person under arrest.
In this new society where humans and beastfolk lived together, getting an interstellar registration card required proof of assets.

Chaoyan, who was already seeing black, listened in despair as the System read out a long list of uncompleted collection achievements.
[The Paw Patrol Saves the Day achievement, the Kitty Crew Causes Chaos achievement, the Reptile House Scares the Rats achievement...]
Chaoyan: Good news, there are rewards. Bad news, my life as a wage slave will never end.

At first, humans thought this was just an interstellar disaster. Then animals began to evolve, to transform, and to stand as equals against humanity...
Beastfolk were intelligent and powerful, reliable warriors who maintained order during the Star Core infection, but they couldn't heal the manic symptoms caused by neural shocks.
A profession emerged to stabilize beastfolk minds during neural storms.
