A sunny heroine who overcomes childhood trauma x an introverted cat-like hero who loves her without realizing it
An adult fairy tale. She travels around the country with the cat-like hero, helping cats repay their debts of kindness. There will probably be ten short stories.
At twenty-two, Jiang Liyue drifts along with the tide. Nothing goes right, and she can't find a goal in life.
After work, she rescues a calico cat. That night, she dreams of the Cat God asking her what she wishes for.
Among a whole host of less-than-harmonious wishes, like cursing her boss and coworkers or wishing the Earth would explode, she decides to be a little kinder.
She says she wants a cat.
And the very next day, there's a cat outside her room.
A stunning long-haired Ragdoll with blue eyes, no less!
While her neat-freak roommate is away, she decides to hurry and carry it to her room for a couple of cuddles.
Suddenly, a System voice rings in her head: [The Cat's Gratitude System has been activated. Host can understand cats. Please help the cats repay their debts of kindness~]
[Task reward: Cat Song Tianshi turns back into a human.]
The beautiful cat in her arms meows several times. [Liyue, I...?]
Oh no, the Cat God turned her roommate into a cat!!
Cat God! You didn't say wishes would be granted through a Yihe Palace-style matchmaking service!!
Jiang Liyue made the wish herself, so she'll have to deal with the consequences herself.
The first request to repay a debt of kindness: help find a dog? A cat finding a dog is a piece of cake!
The second task: photograph the most beautiful sunrise. Off to western Sichuan to see the sun rise over the golden mountains!
The third task: ...
At last, all the tasks are complete. Song Tianshi turns back into a human, and Jiang Liyue finds her true self again.
A cause for universal celebration.
But has someone secretly been in love with her for a long time?
*
Song Tianshi and Liyue grew up together and were close childhood friends.
In his eyes, Liyue was brave and bold, optimistic and cheerful, the most amazing little girl, the most popular kid on the whole street. Everyone loved her.
But ten years later, when he sees her again, she is like a withered plant, like a string pulled taut. She no longer smiles much and doesn't want to trouble anyone.
And she doesn't remember him, either.
When she breaks a cup, she gets so nervous. He wants to tell her she doesn't need to be so anxious, but in the end, he can't bring himself to say it.
She never speaks to him first, and even tries her best to avoid him. When he's home, she hardly ever leaves her room. She even suggests finding another place to live.
He wants so badly to know what happened to her over the years. He wants to help her and hopes she'll stop being so polite, but she rejects him outright.
Still, he wants to be her good friend, just like before.
And then he turns into a cat?
