Complete. Please leave a five-star review~ There are tons of bonus side stories to enjoy! The content warnings are below, so please, please read them, and preferably check the chapter titles before you start! If you can't handle any of it, don't buy or read this! In October, I'm starting *Falling for a Gloomy Beauty Online [Reborn]*. Its blurb is at the very bottom.
This story: An aloof, tsundere kitty versus all kinds of powerful, tragic villains
New System 5918 has had its luck maxed out in the worst way. On its very first day, it gets thrown into a randomly selected high-risk villain scenario with hellish difficulty!
5918: I'm already sweating buckets...
To make matters worse, it accidentally binds itself to a naive little white cat Host who died in the same car crash.
System 5918 is on the verge of tears, but it can only grit its teeth and get to work. “Host! Our mission is to save the world! We have to stop the villains from turning evil and destroying it!”
The kitty cocks its head. “Meow?” Save the world?
World One, School: A poor academic prodigy villain and a transfer-student heiress kitty. (Kitty 1)
5918: We have to make the villain follow her original path and fall into ruin, miss the college entrance exams, and then jump to her death. We can't let her create a virus capable of destroying the world!
The cat, now in human form, solemnly nods, then calls the villain, who's picking through garbage, “Mom.” The System freezes with a click.
Not only that, instead of bullying the villain as she was supposed to, the cat feeds her and protects her.
The System is at a loss. It breaks down and cries, “We aren't here to save the villain!”
But the kitty lifts her head proudly. “Mom doesn't like sweet things.” So feeding Mom dessert is the cat's way of bullying her.
“Being restrained feels awful.” So falling asleep in Mom's arms is the cat's way of bullying her.
World Two, Cultivation: A peony demon villain and the Kitty Queen
(Villain 0.6, kitty 0.4)
5918: The villain stole her sect's sacred artifact. Her crimes are unforgivable. We can't let her kill the male lead while she's being hunted. She has to die in the human-demon war, just like in the original ending.
The kitty doesn't understand. She just gazes at the peony's true form, drooling. Her mind is filled with thoughts of how to eat Mom, whose petals are so lush, and how to drink her sweet peony nectar.
But the cat, who wants nothing more than to eat Mom, ends up being devoured by vines after accidentally letting slip that she'd had other moms before.
World Three, Showbiz: An award-winning actress villain and a kitty investor
(Villain 0.3, kitty 0.7)
5918: Host! The villain is ambitious and unscrupulous. You need to pressure and control her, use your power to make her suffer the fickleness of human relationships, then cruelly abandon her!
Use her influence? The kitty's eyes suddenly light up with understanding. At their first meeting, she walks straight up to the villain and offers her a collar.
Mom belongs to the cat. She can only listen to the cat.
The villain: “...?” So this wealthy patron is into that?
World Four, Western Fantasy: A real succubus posing as a fake saint, and a kitty god
5918: The succubus villain is pretending to be a saint and deceiving everyone. She should be destroyed by the protagonist once she's exposed! Host, you have to stop her from turning the tables on the protagonist's group!
The kitty gazes at the gorgeous succubus before her, all lazy charm and wickedness, the corners of her eyes tinged red. Her eyes are filled with hearts, and she can't look away. At some point, her tail has even curled around the succubus.
5918: Aaaaaah!
World Five, Origin World: Mom raises a little kitty. So adorable!!!
System 5918 watches helplessly as its cat Host eats when she's hungry, sleeps when she's tired, and doesn't do a thing related to the mission.
And yet this cheeky little cat somehow manages to soften one obsessive villain after another, all of them lost in despair and on the verge of destroying the world, until they lay down their weapons.
After traveling through several worlds in endless cycles, the by-the-book System 5918 suddenly sees the absurdity of the predetermined plot.
Why should they be doomed from birth to the fate of a villain?
Later, the truth is finally revealed: the villains in every world are fragments of the same powerful soul.
The System's entire set of core directives stems from nothing more than a bitter, despicable personal grudge.
System 5918 falls silent, and then... rebels!
Note: The worlds aren't necessarily presented in order. The first world is set at school, but it's not the first time the kitty and Mom met. There's another world before it that hasn't been written yet. I may post it as a bonus side story or in the author's notes. It doesn't have much plot and is focused on the tender moments between the kitty and Mom.
Content warnings: This story has lots of unrequited pining and includes a secondary couple. There are male characters, but they will only be villains. The story uses plenty of female-friendly language. World One has a bad ending, and Chapter 44 contains an angsty part. The other worlds are all sweet, sweet, sweet. Be sure to check the chapter titles to avoid anything you don't want to read! There is a lot of romance, and the plot logic serves the couple. The logic is a mess!!! The cat is a real cat with a very unusual way of thinking. If you can't accept that, don't read this, don't read this!
Blurb for *Falling for a Gloomy Beauty Online [Reborn]*
Bright, charming heiress versus an insecure, gloomy puppy
The story is set sometime after the turn of the millennium, back when everyone still used button phones. Yes, it's an online romance.
At twenty, Ye Luling's life seemed like a perfect template:
Fair skin, gorgeous looks, a wealthy family, the campus belle of S University, and a stellar academic record.
Then two things in a row dealt her a crushing blow:
First, the girlfriend she'd been dating online for six months vanished on the day they were supposed to meet in person. Ye went to the neighboring university to confront her, only to be told that no such person existed.
Second, she'd foolishly fallen for a straight senior student and willingly spent three years as her backup. She gave the senior credit for her academic work and poured her heart and soul into financing her business, only for the senior to marry into a wealthy family. At her engagement party, she smiled and said, “Thank you, Luling. You're my very best friend.”
That night, as torrential rain poured down, Ye Luling drove drunk into the river. Her body wasn't recovered until three days later.
After death, Ye Luling's soul drifted around the cemetery for seven years. Every first day of the month, a woman with a limp came to visit her grave.
The woman always brought a bouquet of bellflowers and sat quietly in front of the headstone all day.
Until one day, she burned a stack of documents in front of Ye's grave, one page at a time. “The people who hurt you have gone bankrupt. Now I can go and be with you in peace.”
The next day, the news reported that a prominent new businesswoman had jumped into a river and died.
When Ye opened her eyes again, she'd been reborn in the early autumn of her sophomore year.
The online dating scammer was still pinned to the top of her phone's QQ chat list. But then, at a street-side noodle shop, she spotted the woman with the limp who had avenged her and died for her in her previous life, kneading dough with her head bowed.
When He Yi fled her hometown with a limp, she never expected to survive the winter.
Then she met a girl in a game, someone called “60,” who came crashing into her rotten life like a ray of light.
When the girl asked which school she went to, He Yi, on an impulse she couldn't explain, typed, “The neighboring T University.”
On the day they were supposed to meet in person, she discovered that the girlfriend she'd been dating online was the famous campus belle of the university district.
How could a filthy cripple ever touch the moon? She fled in panic.
Theme: Love is instinctive, but it can also be a force for salvation and change.
Boss, your new cover looks like a coconut tree
Wow, boss, your cover is so fancy. At first glance, I thought I had collected this new article.
After reading Xiaoyu's article, it's really nice to read the updated Maomao.
Haven't you had a drink of water in two chapters? [Hold your thighs] [Please]
Oh, there are still wallpapers to look at
Oh! Hakimi is back, Hakimi, why are you so short [dog head holding rose in mouth]
Finished spreading flowers! Hakimi, I can't bear to leave you! ! The hair is so thick, I really want to touch it.
Is there something wrong with this? Why does the fox talk to Xiaoyu? "One cat and one fox are chattering..." This is a big bug for the author~
Boss, if you are willing to write, I am willing to read it. Hakimi Hakimi, we like you [kiss] [kiss] [kiss]
"It's quiet outside the fox's hole." Catch a big bug for the author~ Isn't this Xiaobai's hole?
