[Crossover] Starting from The Tale of Genji

Sanhua was just a cat, an adorable one living in the imperial palace of Heian-kyo. Every day, a whole group of young ladies brushed her fur and offered her gifts, and she couldn't have been happier.

But cats didn't live very long. When she grew old, she left them behind.

Who could have guessed that instead of going to the "Meow Star" one of the young ladies had told her about, the cat would be taken by the System to other worlds, where she could gain all sorts of superpowers?

Some worlds were steeped in antiquity, while in others people had golden hair and blue eyes.

"I want to go here!" Sanhua pointed at a girl with her little paw.

She knew this young lady.

But when she landed in that world, she realized something was wrong!

Unlike her original world, the young ladies here spent every day crying and hiding. Some of these sad people didn't even want their original bodies anymore.

Facing the scumbags, Sanhua declared: "I'm no foolish human with two legs. I've got strength and tricks to spare!"

Watch the cat take on different forms and transmigrate with the System through worlds drawn from classic literature and history.

(The story may draw more inspiration from The Tale of Genji and Dream of the Red Chamber, alongside other classic literature, myths, and historical fanfiction.)

Planned ideas:

The utterly considerate Hanachirusato

The preachy Kiritsubo Consort

The self-important Aoi no Ue

Oborozukiyo, with three husbands and four consorts

The Buddhist nun Ukifune

The Cat Queen, Third Princess

The ultimate Mary Sue, Tamakazura

Princess Ochiba, whose name says it all

The promise-keeping Fairy of Disenchantment

Xue Baochai, a refined scholar

Lin Daiyu, a martial arts prodigy

And many more (the order and inspiration depend on what I've actually written)

Notes:

1. Please give me some love~ You can check out my author page~

2. I won't abandon this story, but updates will be slow. Each little world is independent, so none of the individual stories will be abandoned. This is a long-form quick transmigration story, and updates between worlds will be gradual.

3. I won't vilify the girls.

4. The male lead is the System. It will stay with our Sanhua forever.

5. In each world, Sanhua has special abilities granted by the System's halo. Whether they're outrageous is a matter of opinion. Since this is quick transmigration, each world may have all sorts of endings.

6. Sanhua's original world is inspired by my work The Life of a Female Court Official in The Tale of Genji, but it has nothing to do with this story.

(The original idea, "The Metaphysical Masterpiece, Consort Rokujo," has grown into a long-form concept. Look for the upcoming The Metaphysical Daily Life of Rokujo-in on my author page.)
