How Did My Crush Turn Into My Cat?

This novel is complete. The full book costs just one cup of lemonade. Thank you all for your support.

HE, pure sweetness / mutual unrequited love / little surprises in the drudgery of working life / cat chases lover

Energetic editor and cat servant Qiao Er × jealous cat-author Chen Yanshui

@Blurb with a full set of cat paw prints:

The moment the bathroom door opened, Qiao Er felt her entire worldview collapse.

How had “Braised Pork” walked into the bathroom and come out as Chen Yanshui?

And he was half-naked from the waist up, wet from head to toe.

Aaaaaah!

She screamed while silently counting: “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.”

He actually had a full eight-pack!

Chen Yanshui looked down at the cat towel wrapped around his waist. “Hey, this cat towel doesn't seem big enough. Do you have anything else?”

Qiao Er blinked her big, watery eyes. Her gaze couldn't help drifting downward, and she broke into a lecherous grin. “It's big enough, it's big enough. This one will do.”

After tearfully accepting the fact that her longtime crush was her cat, Qiao Er curled up in a corner of the sofa and quietly went over everything in her head:

1. Without knowing what was going on, I used his shed fur to make a whole cabinet of matching figurines for him. He won't get revenge on me, will he?

2. I cuddled him while we slept. Does that count as indirectly sleeping together?

3. I've given him countless baths. Does that mean he's already been *#☆%*! by me?

4. Good thing he told me the truth. Otherwise, I was planning to get him neutered this week.

That was close. I almost made a mistake I'd regret forever...

@Content warnings:

1. They both have secret identities, and they both have feelings for each other. They each indulge in a little imagination about things that can't be described.

2. This is a fantasy romance, so it's not that strange for a cat to use WeChat, right? ^O^

3. Neither lead is perfect. The male lead acts all high and mighty while the female lead doesn't know he's a cat (orz, cats are all so proud, don't come after me; once he's human again, he'll have to work hard to win her back). The female lead is optimistic and steadfast, but a little timid.

4. A very happy ending, with the pent-up complaints of office workers and the grumbling of overworked wage slaves, hahaha. All workers are like this.

5. A goofy story with an absurd premise, an unconventional style, and plenty of jokes and memes. If it's not your thing, please move along.

@Friendly reminder:

This novel is best enjoyed alongside “Song of a Bad Cat.” Happy reading!

@Blurb for my new book, please add it to your reading list!

“The Little Restaurant Next to the Assassins”

Zhu Yunzao, who has a master's degree in Chinese pharmacy, transmigrated, but in her panic only brought a book called “The Complete Cookbook”?

Well, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

One person, one donkey, a tiny plot of land, and a thatched hut. “The days are waning, the days are waning, why don't you go home?”

Yunzao thought that her reclusive life in the countryside would be peaceful and comfortable, a return to a simpler way of life. But by sheer coincidence, she ended up living right next door to the mysterious assassin organization, the Snow-Cleansing Pavilion...

The Snow-Cleansing Pavilion.

A notorious assassin organization in the martial world. Its thirteen carefully trained assassins made a living taking high-priced contracts to kill, and were feared wherever they went.

Rumor had it that Pavilion Master Li Ye had a hideous, blue-green face and fangs. His portrait was a popular item at market, said to cure rabid dogs and stop children from crying at night.

Though the Snow-Cleansing Pavilion had a terrible reputation, its employees actually enjoyed excellent benefits.

1. Flexible work hours, no need to clock in or sit at the office.

2. Room and board provided, with travel and meal allowances for fieldwork.

3. Five types of social insurance and a housing fund, paid on time, plus regular free health checkups.

4. No employment contracts, and employees share in the profits.

It had plenty of advantages, and only two drawbacks:

1. The work was dangerous.

2. The cafeteria food was awful.

Employees could only address the first issue by training harder. The second was what troubled Li Ye most, until a “magical little chef” moved in next door...

When Yunzao saw the sudden rush of more than a dozen orders, she had no idea what the Snow-Cleansing Pavilion was. She assumed the System had given her a beginner's reward. With a cookbook in one hand and a spatula in the other, she began developing delicious dishes made with Chinese medicinal herbs.

Day 1. Mint fried chicken? Not only delicious, but it also disperses wind-heat and clears the head!

Day 2. Astragalus and yam snowflake pastry? It cools you down and relieves summer heat without draining your energy and blood!

Day 3. Almond and Seven-White pudding? Silky and smooth, it moistens the lungs, nourishes the skin and stomach, and strengthens the spleen!

Day 7. The assassins, who used to be exhausted from staying up all night, were feeling better. They no longer had to worry about getting heatstroke while on masked missions. Their backs and waists stopped aching, and once their dark circles faded, even their complexions looked rosy.

Day 100. The foodies, rubbing their round bellies, burped one after another over tea and snacks. Then they even dared to suggest: “Boss, how about we put down our butcher's knives and open a cafeteria?”
