Raising a Cat Landed Me a Stable Job

Other people cuddle cats and dogs. Mo Daiqian cuddles the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise...

The only problem is that the divine beasts she attracts are all little terrors. One smokes and sets fires, burning off all her hair. Another pulls out trees, digs holes, and tosses her around like a ball.

Mo Daiqian had spent twenty-three short years living up to her title as the Goddess of Bad Luck, standing firm and never losing it.

She was abandoned by the roadside at birth, wrapped in nothing but a rag. At nineteen, the grandmother who raised her passed away. When she finally graduated, she always messed up job interviews, either getting stuck in traffic or having coffee spilled all over her. After barely making it through her internship, she was replaced by someone with connections as soon as she got a permanent position.

Whenever she fell in love, she got cheated on. The boyfriend who had professed his undying love the day before would be someone else's boyfriend the next day.

Just as Mo Daiqian resigned herself to a life that would never get any better, an ugly cat latched onto her while she was making a delivery.

She took one look at the ugly cat on her doorstep and, softhearted, adopted him. But the cat not only stole her food, he also brought back a whole gang of friends.

First came a bird that breathed fire, then a turtle with snakes for accessories, and then a monkey that could cook.

The bird set her hair on fire, the turtle wrecked her yard and tossed her around like a ball, and the monkey nearly burned down her house.

Her luck hit an unprecedented low because of these creatures. Just when she was so unlucky that there was no bad luck left to have, a mysterious department calling itself the Bureau of Anomalous Creatures showed up at her door.

They forcefully recruited her.

They told her it wasn't bad luck. She had a special constitution. The cat that had shown up looking for a free meal was the White Tiger, a divine beast that had been left behind in the human world. The troublesome birds and turtles were divine beasts too. And to every anomalous creature, she was an irresistible "ultimate temptation."

Mo Daiqian: "????" How had she become such a hot commodity?

"To conceal your special constitution, shelter this group of out-of-control divine beasts, and keep them from frightening the public, the Bureau has decided that you will open a special zoo."

At last, Mo Daiqian had a job, and she happily took over the zoo. She discovered that her bad luck was over. She didn't have to study until she went bald or compete with thousands of others for a government job. She had a secure position with an official salary.

Every animal in the zoo became an internet sensation, and as the woman behind them, she became someone every major media outlet desperately wanted to meet. Her bank balance gained a string of zeros. At last, she no longer had to wonder whether she could afford to add an egg to her instant noodles. This time, she'd add two.

She had found like-minded friends, and a devastatingly handsome cat-man to keep her company.

The cat-man's long hair fell to his waist, and his adoring eyes were fixed on her. Mo Daiqian touched the ears hidden beneath his black hair. His fluffy ears twitched, then quickly turned red.

The tail wrapped around her calf tightened ever so slightly. Mo Daiqian ran a hand over his abs through his white shirt, a little tipsy. "I knew that time wasn't a dream."

"It wasn't a dream." Ang Xu lowered his head slightly, brushing his chin over the crown of her head as his arms tightened around her waist.
