The Lazing Pallas's Cat Just Wants to Live Off Someone

After spending half her life working herself to the bone, Meng Jue dropped dead from exhaustion and transmigrated into a little human-form Pallas's cat from a poor family.

Determined not to work herself to the bone again, she planned to loaf around as a fluffy little creature and watch the world go by.

By chance, she rescued a woman with skin like ice and jade, both resilient and fragile. Her voice was especially lovely, and as someone who loved beautiful voices, Meng Jue couldn't resist her.

When she found out the woman was Chu Shengci, the future villainess in the book, Meng Jue nearly fell flat on her face. Oh no, she'd rescued a hot potato.

She couldn't just leave her behind. To save her own life, Meng Jue decided to befriend the hot potato and live out a happy, impoverished life together.

The first step to becoming friends: show her care and keep her warm.

Unfortunately, Chu Shengci was quiet and taciturn, so Meng Jue became a chatterbox, talking to herself like a little bee.

The second step to becoming friends: earn money to support the household.

Unfortunately, Chu Shengci was a workaholic who always found something to do. Meng Jue rolled up her sleeves and threw herself into the work, and so began her glorious life of snatching every chore.

She didn't have a single day off.

One night, Meng Jue sighed with exhaustion. "I wish I could have weekends off."

Hearing this, the woman bit her lip, her black hair half pinned up. She pulled out a cultivation manual and, in a gentle voice, told Meng Jue to get up and study instead of sleeping. Meng Jue had just lain down, and didn't dare open her eyes. Her whole world had collapsed.

Fine, she couldn't have time off, but now she had to study in the middle of the night too?

She started thinking about leaving.

She had saved up food and money, but still worried that the other woman might have a rough life and go down the villainess's crooked path. So she worked hard to become even richer, and only then nodded to herself and slipped away.

After living freely as a little Pallas's cat for quite some time, Meng Jue heard that the Hehuan Sect adored cats. She came up with a new plan for loafing around.

Pallas's cats were felines, so she counted as a cat too. She went to the Hehuan Sect.

But...

Why was Chu Shengci sitting in the seat of honor?

Feeling guilty, Meng Jue was relieved that she had never revealed her true form before.

Chu Shengci set her jade foot on the base of Meng Jue's tail and gave a faint smile. The bell on her foot chimed softly.

*

When Meng Jue realized it was a whole stack of dual cultivation manuals, her face flushed. H-How could she make a cat read these?

She needed a moment to calm down. She hadn't even made it to the foot of the mountain before she was stopped.

"Be good and come to my side." Chu Shengci smiled warmly, but her fingertips were icy as they stroked the back of Meng Jue's neck. "Let's think about how I should punish you."

"How about starting with ten dual cultivation manuals, my dear Meng Jue?"

...?!

How did she know?

Meng Jue trembled.

A night passed, and she heard the woman ask, "Do you like it, my little cat, my friend?"

Meng Jue's eyes were damp, her tail limp on the bed. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out how becoming friends could lead to this.

How mean, bullying a little cat!

I like it, meow!

#I'm not a little cat, I'm a beast, a very fierce one

#Mostly daily life, with very little cultivation, just as a backdrop

Coming soon: After a Blind Date with a Frail, Abstinent Omega. Please add it to your collection, thank you so much.

The year the Xu family faced a crisis, Xu Cheng was not yet twenty-two. As an adopted daughter, she had to repay the family's kindness, so they arranged a blind date for her with the head of the Song family.

Xu Cheng was young and cheerful, a tennis player who had retired due to injury. The hand that had once brought her countless victories was left with lasting damage.

An alpha with an injured hand was only fit to be rejected.

The head of the Song family, Song Xihe, was frail from birth, cool and exacting, and fiercely self-possessed.

An omega from a prominent family, she was like the cold moon in a snowy sky, someone no one dared approach.

How could someone like her ever truly be interested in Xu Cheng?

On the night of the blind date, Xu Cheng thought they were just meeting once, with nothing to follow.

She made a PowerPoint and carefully introduced herself. The woman stayed silent for a few moments, then asked just one question: "I heard your injury was serious. Is that true?"

Xu Cheng answered honestly, "Yes," but then the woman said, "Let's go. A premarital checkup."

???

They were already going for a premarital checkup?

Xu Cheng didn't understand, but followed along in a daze. They didn't go to a hospital, though. They went to a hotel.

After repeated premarital checkups, Song Xihe got engaged to her.

The news got out, and everyone was in an uproar.

Netizens mocked Xu Cheng, saying all she had left was her looks, and that a useless alpha with a frail, abstinent big-shot omega was bound to get dumped.

Friends and family comforted her, saying marriage was all the same, bland and boring.

She understood that it was a marriage alliance with no room for love, and didn't dare hope for more.

But the blandness was a lie, and getting dumped was real.

The woman was frail. She had to be coaxed into taking medicine, carried when she bathed, massaged before bed, and led through morning exercise after waking up.

If Xu Cheng was too gentle, the woman would kick her. If she was too rough, the woman would cry and kick her.

Xu Cheng was careful and devoted herself to looking after her.

After the family crisis had passed, Xu Cheng remembered the look in the woman's eyes whenever she complained and tactfully suggested they call off the engagement.

*

Just as the rumors said, Song Xihe was strong-willed and self-possessed, decisive and meticulous.

When she heard her fiancée say she wanted to call off the engagement, she asked why, finding the reason rather ridiculous.

The woman had injured her right hand, but was left-handed. What was there to be dissatisfied about?

Besides, so what if she was injured? Song Xihe had plenty of ways to handle it.

Song Xihe caressed her face. "Ah Cheng, are you trying to be a heartless woman and leave me?"

Xu Cheng blinked. Huh?

*

Song Xihe figured her fiancée had too much free time, which was why she was letting her imagination run wild.

She set a time for her to come home every night, assigned her lessons, took her everywhere, and kept a strict eye on her.

A month later, her fiancée was so exhausted that she'd completely given up on calling off the engagement.

They entered the wedding hall.
