The Catgirl at the Alley Corner: Raising Cats on Cloud Live

[Recommended short stories: Yanmen and Gui Zhou Wu An]

[Please add Yanmen (both leads reborn) to your reading list. The blurb is at the bottom. I'm still deciding whether to start the full-length version of Gui Zhou Wu An.]

At the end of Zhiliu Lane stood a cat shop run by a graceful young woman surnamed Shen. The neighbors affectionately called her "Miss Cat."

The cats she raised had soft, sleek coats and gentle, lovable temperaments. They were the sort of creatures that could melt your heart at first sight, and word of them soon spread through the neighborhood.

Gradually, people noticed that the shop had more and more cats. The visitors coming and going included noblewomen seeking sachets and refined scholars who made special trips to bring dried fish. It had become a genuine little shop for cat lovers.

As time passed, the shop grew livelier and livelier. Before long, it was famous far and wide, the warmest place in Zhiliu Lane.

Many years later, whenever scholars and refined gentlemen passed through Zhiliu Lane, they still remembered that afternoon when a cat tugged at their clothes by the entrance and they heard the girl's clear laughter.

A cat, a bowl of fish soup, a lamp glowing in the night: together, they carried her unfulfilled dream and lit up the ordinary lives of those around her.

[A heartwarming slice-of-life story set in the Song dynasty, with a transmigrated heroine running a pet shop at an easygoing pace. A young woman livestreams her cat-raising adventures. Laughter, the comforts of home, and the tender healing of everyday life.]

Yanmen (both leads reborn)

[In the sixth year of Xianning, the lone city fell, and the loyal were buried in blood-soaked sand.]

She once held the broken city until she died, her bones lost without a trace.

He once shielded her with his sword, blood spraying beneath the lonely smoke.

The world believed the heroes were gone for good.

Thankfully, someone was reborn and returned, all for the sake of a promise of protection left unfulfilled.

The woman general Chen Yanzhen returns to the battlefield, still bearing the burden of that lonely city.

In white robes, Li He stands with sword in hand, once again stepping into blood and windblown sand.

Li He smiles, places the sword in her hand, and says softly:

"There is no safe place in this world. I will go wherever you go."

When wind and snow rage, he is always by her side.
