If you can't handle it, don't buy or read it! My new novel, Online Dating a Gloomy Beauty [Reborn], is now underway. Its blurb is at the very end.

This novel: a proud, cold-faced, adorable kitty vs. various powerful, tragic villains

Newly activated System 5918 had a full load of bad luck. It had barely started work when it was thrown into a hellishly difficult, high-risk villain instance!

5918: I'm already sweating bullets...

To make matters worse, it accidentally bound itself to a naive little white cat Host who had also died in a car accident.

System 5918 wanted to cry, but it could only grit its teeth and get to work. "Host! Our mission is to save the world! Stop the villains from turning evil and destroying it!"

The kitty tilted its head. "Meow?" Save the world?

World One, School: a poor, top student villain and the cat, a wealthy transfer student. (Kitty 1)

5918: We have to make the villain follow her original path: fall into depravity, miss the college entrance exam, and then jump to her death. Don't let her create the virus that will destroy the world!

The cat turned human and nodded solemnly, but then called "Mom" to the villain, who was picking through trash. The System instantly crashed.

And instead of bullying the villain as it was supposed to, the cat fed and protected her.

The System was at a loss. It broke down and shouted, "We aren't here to save the villain!"

The kitty raised its head. "Mommy doesn't like sweet things." So the cat was bullying Mommy by feeding her dessert.

"Being confined is unpleasant." So the cat was bullying Mommy by cuddling her to sleep.

World Two, Cultivation: a peony spirit villain and the Kitty King

(Villain 0.6, Kitty 0.4)

5918: The villain stole the sect's sacred artifact. Her crimes are unforgivable. We can't let her kill the male lead while being hunted. She has to die in the battle between humans and demons, just like in the original ending.

The kitty didn't understand. It only stared at the peony's true form, drooling. Its mind was full of thoughts about how to eat Mommy, with her abundant petals, and drink her fragrant, sweet nectar.

But the cat, which wanted to eat Mommy so badly, was eaten up by vines after accidentally letting slip that it had had other mommies.

World Three, Showbiz: an actress-villain and the kitty investor

(Villain 0.3, Kitty 0.7)

5918: Host! The villain is ambitious and ruthless. You have to pressure and control her, use your power to torment her, make her suffer the cruelty of the world, and then coldly abandon her!

Exploit her? The kitty's eyes suddenly lit with understanding. At their first meeting, it went straight up to the villain and offered her its collar.

Mommy belongs to the cat. Mommy can only listen to the cat.

The villain: "...?" So this benefactor is into that?

World Four, Western Fantasy: a real succubus posing as a fake saint, and the kitty god

5918: The succubus villain pretends to be a saint and deceives everyone. After she's exposed, the protagonist is supposed to destroy her! Host, you have to stop her from counterattacking the protagonist's group!

The kitty stared with hearts in its eyes at the beautiful succubus before it, languid and wicked, with red at the corners of her eyes. It couldn't even look away, and at some point its tail had curled around the succubus.

5918: Aaaaaah!

World Five, Origin World: Mommy raises a little kitten. It's so cute!!!

System 5918 watched as its cat Host ate when hungry and slept when tired, without doing a thing for its mission.

And yet, this obnoxious little cat somehow managed to make every obsessive villain, each mired in despair and on the brink of destroying the world, put down her butcher's knife.

After traveling through several worlds, the rule-abiding System 5918 suddenly saw through the absurdity of the predetermined plot.

Why were they born to be condemned to the fate of villains?

Later, the truth was finally revealed: the villains in every world were fragments of the same powerful soul.

And the System's entire set of core directives ultimately came from a despicable, deep-seated grudge.

System 5918 fell silent, and then... it rebelled!

Note: The worlds may appear in any order. The first world is a school story, but it's not the first time the kitty and Mommy meet. There was another world before it that I haven't written about yet. I may post it as a bonus extra or in an author's note. It doesn't have much plot and focuses on the warm relationship between the kitty and Mommy.

Content warnings: This novel contains pining, lots of it. There is a secondary couple and a male character. The only male character will be a villain. Many female-friendly terms will be used. World One has a tragic ending, and Chapter 44 has an upsetting part. The other worlds are all sweet, sweet, sweet. Be sure to check chapter titles to avoid content you don't want! There is a lot of romance, and the plot serves the couple. The logic is terrible!!! The cat is a real cat with a very unusual way of thinking. If you can't accept that, don't read it, don't read it!

[Blurb for Online Dating a Gloomy Beauty [Reborn]]

Bright, vivacious heiress vs. an insecure, gloomy puppy

The story takes place sometime after the turn of the millennium, when people still used feature phones for online dating.

Ye Luling's life at twenty was practically a perfect template:

Fair-skinned and beautiful, from a wealthy family, the belle of S University, and successful in her studies.

Then two things happened one after the other, and hit her hard:

First, the girlfriend she'd been dating online for six months vanished on the day they were supposed to meet in person. Ye Luling went to the neighboring university to confront her, only to be told there was no one by that name.

Second, she'd foolishly fallen for a straight upperclasswoman and willingly been her backup for three years. She gave the woman credit for her academic work and poured her heart into funding her startup. But the upperclasswoman went on to marry into a wealthy family, then smiled at Ye Luling at her engagement banquet and said, "Thank you, Luling. You're my best friend."

That night, in torrential rain, Ye Luling drove drunk into the river. Her body was not recovered until three days later.

After her death, Ye Luling's spirit drifted around the cemetery for seven years. She noticed that every month on the first day, a woman with a limp came to visit her grave.

The woman with the limp always brought a bunch of balloon flowers and sat quietly before the gravestone all day.

One day, the woman with the limp burned a stack of documents in front of Ye Luling's grave, one sheet at a time. "The people who hurt you have gone bankrupt. Now I can finally go join you in peace."

The next day, the news reported that a rising business tycoon had jumped into a river and died.

When Ye Luling opened her eyes again, she had been reborn in the early autumn of her sophomore year.

The online-dating scammer was still pinned at the top of her chat list, but then she spotted the limping woman who had avenged her and died for her in her previous life, kneading dough at a street-side noodle stall.

When He Yi limped away from home, she hadn't thought she'd survive that winter.

Then she met a girl called "60" in a game, like a ray of light slicing into her rotten life.

When the girl asked which school she attended, she inexplicably typed, "Neighboring T University."

On the day they were supposed to meet in person, she discovered that the girl she'd been dating online was the famous campus beauty of the university district.

How could a filthy cripple touch the moon? She fled in a panic.

Theme: Love is instinct, and it can also be a force for redemption and change.
