What Could a Little Cat Possibly Do Wrong?

Coming soon: The Little Red Panda Only Wants to Scam Money and Stay Alive. Blurb at the end~

Le Cheng turned into a cat.

A tiny kitten shivering in the pouring rain.

Just as she thought she was going to die, a hand colder than the rain picked her up and tucked her into a coat pocket.

Le Cheng fell asleep, reassured.

When she woke up and saw the familiar house in front of her, cold and lifeless, the one that had appeared on a variety show…

Wasn’t this her sworn enemy’s house?!

-

Le Cheng discovered, utterly dismayed, that her sworn enemy really had taken her home.

Her sworn enemy was a famous piano prodigy. In theory, there was no conflict of interest between them.

But Le Cheng had always regarded her as an enemy, all on her own!

Because ever since they were little, she’d hardly heard a kind word from that sharp-tongued woman!

-

Now that she was her cat, Le Cheng watched Ming Zhenxi remain just as stone-faced in private, so detached she seemed completely heartless. She refused to believe it.

When Ming Zhenxi played piano, Le Cheng jumped up and joined her in a wild waltz.

When she was happily chatting with someone on a video call, Le Cheng got so mad she gritted her teeth and pawed the power button.

When she wanted a drink of water, Le Cheng stuck her paw in right in front of her.

When her arranged marriage match came to visit, Le Cheng enthusiastically tugged on their trouser leg and ushered them inside. At last, the stone-faced woman’s expression cracked.

Le Cheng was promptly punished.

Someone pinched her ear, and Ming Zhenxi’s gritted-teeth voice sounded beside it.

“You ungrateful little thing! I knew you’d be just as much of a troublemaker as that other brat!”

-

At first, Le Cheng had no idea who she meant by “that other brat,” but she was still annoyed at being called a troublemaker!

She rolled all over Ming Zhenxi’s bed until it was covered in fur, and felt much better.

But one day, she wandered into a room Ming Zhenxi had carelessly forgotten to lock. When she saw a whole wall stacked with diaries, she finally understood who Ming Zhenxi had meant.

Le Cheng’s paws went stiff.

She called her a little troublemaker!

But one day, Le Cheng realized that her leisurely life as a kept pet had practically rotted her brain.

Not only had she become her sworn enemy’s pet, but now she was expected to keep her company for meals, drinks, and bedtime too!

-

After bringing the cat home, Ming Zhenxi gradually began to notice that the little thing was becoming more and more like someone she knew.

Because of that, Ming Zhenxi indulged the little thing, letting her get up to all kinds of mischief.

Then one night, everything changed.

The cat that had been sleeping in the crook of her arm turned into the person she had longed for day and night.

Ming Zhenxi was stunned.

The Little Red Panda Only Wants to Scam Money and Stay Alive

.

Jin Yue is a little red panda with no grand ambitions, at least until she finds out she’s a character in a book.

She’s in a novel, and her owner, Immortal Venerable Rong Jin, is the female protagonist’s master. She dotes on her only disciple so much that when the protagonist says her demon core is a powerful tonic, she can dig it out without hesitation and give it to her.

Jin Yue is shocked. She can hardly believe that the woman before her, who is clearly aloof and distant but is now gently brushing her fur, is the same cold-blooded person from the story.

Jin Yue… finds the motivation to cultivate.

-

Unfortunately, Jin Yue has neglected her cultivation for far too long. Even if she starts again now, it’ll be hard to become much stronger than the female lead before she arrives.

Jin Yue sets her sights on the pile of treasures in Rong Jin’s storage space.

From then on, everyone knows that Immortal Venerable Rong Jin has an incredibly clingy magical pet. It’s so adorable that everyone longs to have one of their own.

Jin Yue tries every trick she can think of, from acting cute and begging to lying on the ground and refusing to move. She gets all kinds of resources from Rong Jin, and her cultivation level shoots up. She’s determined that if the day in the story really comes, she’ll fight Rong Jin herself.

But when she hears the female lead say her demon core is a powerful tonic, Jin Yue is still afraid of Rong Jin’s cold-blooded side. She bundles up her things and sneaks away.

When Rong Jin discovers her clingy magical pet is gone, she also realizes that some little red panda has swindled every last valuable thing she owns.

Rong Jin: “…”

-

When they meet again, Rong Jin sees the little red panda has become a mountain chieftain, teaching her mountain underlings to use their strengths to swindle resources. She laughs in exasperation.

She steps forward and grabs the little red panda by her fluffy tail, hoisting her into the air.

“Little scammer, wasn’t swindling me enough? Now you’re recruiting others to do it too?”

Jin Yue bares her teeth and bristles.

“Ha! I’ll fight you to the death!”

Thesis: Put aside your prejudices and treat others with sincerity.
