Raising My Mortal Enemy, Meow [Interstellar]

Everyone on Blue Star knew that Major General Shi Yu had a beloved pet: an ordinary Maine Coon. Every day, the cat had the imperial capital's luxurious penthouse all to itself, ate fresh caviar flown in by the Empire, and traveled by private jet. Its life was the height of extravagance. They say that even on the day he was convicted of treason, the only request of the once all-powerful major general was to see his cat one last time. “Send him and his cat to their deaths together!” “Death to traitors! Let Shi Yu and his cat go to hell together!” “Kill him! Kill him!” Public opinion ran hot, and the voices that had once worshipped him all turned into blades. Major General Shi Yu, who had spent half his life risking everything for the Federation, was ultimately executed, along with his cat. And yet, strangely, the search officers combed through Shi Yu's estate and never found the cat. … “Meow~~~” Shi Yu woke to the feeling of being licked. He had been reborn, back in the year 4030 of the interstellar era, on the first day he had been gravely injured while on a mission to clear out interstellar beastmen and happened to find Raphael. Shi Yu hugged his lost-and-found cat tightly, his gaze dark and cold. In this life, he would never be so foolish again. He would not listen to his adoptive parents and marry Si Beichen, nor would he hand his power over to the man who was supposedly his own, only to become Shi An's stepping stone to success. A Blue Star that couldn't even tolerate a cat did not deserve his loyalty. He decided to accept the political marriage with the crown prince of the Losno Empire and marry Raphael, because Raphael had championed the Interstellar Pet Protection Act. Even though Raphael was his sworn enemy on the battlefield, and an insufferable egomaniac to boot. … As a citizen of the Losno Empire, Raphael had always known that Blue Star people were a sinister, cunning species. Their Major General Shi Yu, known as the God of War, was especially despicable! Every time they clashed, his invincible fleet failed to gain the upper hand! Even worse, Shi Yu had taken advantage of Raphael's mental form going berserk to ambush his fleet, leaving Raphael's mental form trapped as a kitten! Still, Shi Yu wasn't entirely without redeeming qualities. He was at least a barely acceptable… caretaker, ahem! Servant! How dare that Shi guy kiss him! He deserved to die a thousand deaths! Shi Yu died, but not at Raphael's hands. Raphael flew into a rage. Those foolish Blue Star people had treated such a brave and battle-tested general this way! He would make all of Blue Star pay with their lives! … Post-marriage bonus scene: One morning, Raphael was once again kicked out of bed by his wife. Raphael: Damn it!! She was kissing, petting, and cuddling his mental form just last night! Raphael changed back into his mental form and leaped onto the bed in a fury. Tilting his little cat head, he gently licked his wife's palm. “Meow~~~” Shi Yu: “…” This story is also known as How Can I Make My Wife Love Me When She Only Loves My Mental Form?, How to Win My Wife's Heart, and Another Day of Being Jealous of My Own Mental Form (Synopsis screenshotted on June 22, 2026) Theme: Build big and strong
