President Jiang, Stop Being Cute with Your Cat Paws

After the Satisfying-Revenge Heroine Tosses the Table is currently being serialized. The upcoming novel is The Jewelry Queen of Hong Kong [Period]. If you're interested, please follow along. Its blurb is at the end.

On a rainy night, Zhou Yi rescued a cow cat. One look was all it took to confirm that cow cats really are all crazy.

Whether she gave him ham sausage or cat food, his eyes always held three parts mockery and seven parts disdain.

But he could type to teach her how to interview, revise her resume for her, and cover her hand with his tail while she slept.

Zhou Yi hugged the cat and rubbed her cheek against his. "Teacher Cat, teach me how to manage my money. I only need to make a million."

The cow cat hurriedly wriggled out of Zhou Yi's arms, the fur on his cheeks standing on end. His white-gloved paws tapped away at the keyboard.

"With the little money you have, don't even think about investing. Skipping dinner will help you lose weight and save your brain cells from researching stocks and futures."

Zhou Yi's dream of getting rich was crushed, but a nightmare soon followed.

At some point, rumors spread around the neighborhood about a naked pervert vaulting across rooftops at night. So frightened she couldn't sleep, Zhou Yi could only drift off while clutching the cow cat's tail.

Then one night, a naked man leaped from her balcony. The moonlight revealed his cold, handsome face. It was Jiang Zhou, the icy CEO who lived upstairs!

"So you were the one taking all the bath towels that went missing from my home?"

"You also broke the expensive face cream I bought?"

"When I was showering, were you peeking outside the door?"

Jiang Zhou fastened his last button. His gaze behind his glasses was calm. "Ms. Zhou, we can discuss compensation."

Zhou Yi smiled. "Mr. Jiang, I didn't know your dignity and feelings were worth so little."

Jiang Zhou had always been cool and aloof, and valued efficiency. His world allowed no surprises.

But then he was poisoned, and the surprise turned him into a cat.

The woman he found annoying after just one glance saved him and took him back to her cramped little apartment.

The room was like a bustling market. A video mocking New Three Kingdoms played on one side, while the stench of luosifen filled the air. Jiang Zhou was miserable.

At last, Jiang Zhou recovered, and thought his life would return to normal.

But when Zhou Yi went to collect her payment and settle things between them, he held down the check. "Zhou Yi, I'm not fully recovered yet. My throat, my ears, my head..."

Zhou Yi anxiously cradled his head. "What's wrong? What's wrong? Don't you dare let anything happen to you before I get my money!"

Bonus Scene

Jiang, chairman of the Jiang Group, tossed out a check. "Here's five million. Leave my grandson."

Zhou Yi hurriedly put the check in her bag. "I'll gladly take the money. As for him..."

Jiang Zhou glared. She smiled. "See? It's not that I won't leave. He's the one who insists on clinging to me."

Chairman Jiang rubbed his forehead. That shameless look was too much to watch.

Blurb for After the Satisfying-Revenge Heroine Tosses the Table:

The well-behaved Lin Jue had always followed the rules, only to learn that her husband had betrayed her. He wanted her to take the blame for his lover, and her coldhearted boss fired her on the spot.

After leaping from a rooftop and being reborn twice, she discovered that she was merely one of the supporting female characters in a male-oriented System power fantasy novel. A few scant lines in the book sketched out her bleak life.

Lin Jue refused to accept it. She broke free from her birth family, slapped down her scheming green-tea coworker, and toppled the boss who had been manipulating her. She would break free from the fate written for her in the book.

After she tossed the table, her scumbag ex-husband, Xu Mingxuan, tried to turn over a new leaf, while her coldhearted former boss, Zhou Yu, transformed into a sunny, handsome man and set out to seduce her.

While Xu Mingxuan was making a heartfelt confession in the pouring rain, Lin Jue received a photo of him and his ex-girlfriend on her phone. Zhou Yu immediately sent her a message: "Sorry, I sent that to you by accident. Looks like I can't unsend it. /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~"

Xu Mingxuan parachuted in as Lin Jue's new boss, using his position to spend long hours with her. In less than half a day, Zhou Yu appeared with an innocent smile and a huge order, specifically requesting Lin Jue to handle it.

Xu Mingxuan listed all the history he shared with Lin Jue, trying to turn over a new leaf. Zhou Yu calmly pulled out a photo and stepped in front of Xu Mingxuan.

Xu Mingxuan flew into a rage. "What history do you have with her?"

Zhou Yu lowered his head shyly. "That night... you have to take responsibility for me."

Unable to listen any longer, Lin Jue accepted an invitation from industry bigwig Wen Jingxing, dressed up, and headed to the banquet.

After she and Wen Jingxing finished a dance, the lights in the venue suddenly went out. In the darkness, a pair of strong arms pulled her close. Zhou Yu's breath brushed her ear. "Does big sister really think I'm a little dog she can call over whenever she wants and send away whenever she likes?"

Blurb for The Jewelry Queen of Hong Kong [Period]:

Hong Kong, 1979.

Li Baolin came from a village in Sui Province and lived in the cheapest cubicle of a tenement in Sham Shui Po.

She washed dishes at a cha chaan teng and swept the streets around the gold shops. Everyone called her "Ah Chan."

No one knew that Zhao Tiemei lived inside this body.

She was the granddaughter of a silversmith from the mainland in the 1950s. She had grown up surrounded by the craft, learning every traditional technique, from filigree to engraving.

The first time she made gold jewelry for a customer, her hands were steadier than her heartbeat.

Uncle Hai said, "This girl's hands are a gift from heaven."

Only she knew they were the result of a lifetime of hammering by her grandfather.

From gold-shop apprentice to Hong Kong's first ordinary woman gem appraiser to earn a De Beers license,

from "Chan Mei" to "Sister Baolin," the name everyone on Gold Shop Street called out,

Zhao Tiemei fought her way to the top of Hong Kong with the grit in her bones.

The first time the spoiled heir of the Rong family, Rong Hanyang, saw her, he sneered. "Does Ah Chan think she's fit to touch diamonds?"

Later, he crouched outside the Wing Cheong Gold Shop, clumsily learning to sweep, his ears bright red. Even when all of Hong Kong laughed at him, he still had to say, "Baolin, will you teach me goldsmithing?"

Theme: Today you can ignore me all you want. Tomorrow, you'll be the one begging me to notice you!
