After the Socially Anxious Cat Was Taken In by a Big Shot

Jiang Xiaomi is a severely antisocial cat demon. His main job is delivering takeout for "Xuanling Express," and his side gig is being a comedy metaphysics streamer called "Lazy Cat Flop."

His daily goals: Make rent, buy dried fish, and do his best to keep his cat ears hidden!

But one misdelivered supernatural takeout order sends him straight to the door of his new neighbor, the cold and aloof Heavenly Master Lu Tianxing.

The moment the door opens, the terrifying aura hits Jiang Xiaomi head-on. He gets so frightened that his fur stands on end, and his cat ears nearly pop out!

Social death?

No, this is only the beginning.

Streaming talisman drawing, suffering a backlash from his demonic power, turning into a cat in public, with a million viewers watching live!

A delivery to a haunted house, an evil spirit ambush, terrified meowing, and his emergency contact automatically calling the Heavenly Master next door!

Even more outrageous, he uses up all his spiritual power and can't turn back into a human, so the Heavenly Master, who's also his creditor, takes him home to foster him?!

From then on, Jiang Xiaomi's lazy cat life is forced to level up:

Daily tasks: Clean the house (the boss's standard: floors shiny enough to reflect your face!) and pay off his exorbitant medicinal soup debt.

Survival challenge: Dodge the boss's sudden cat-petting sessions.

Hidden crisis: The Demon Control Bureau has its eye on his livestream mishaps, and a variety show invites him to "harmoniously" interact with his Judge neighbor? Bathe together in a hot spring? Gaze deeply into each other's eyes?! The antisocial cat freezes on the spot!

Lu Tianxing is also at his wits' end.

This timid, adorable, antisocial cat demon with weak spiritual power, who keeps turning into a cat and getting into trouble, is the ultimate walking headache.

But why is he kind of cute when his fur stands on end?

Why do his cat ears feel so soft?

Why does his heart race when he protects him?

Then, during a life-or-death crisis, the bloodline dormant within Jiang Xiaomi awakens with a roar. An auspicious light pierces the darkness, and an earth-shattering secret sealed away for a thousand years comes to light...

The cold-faced Judge looks down at the sleeping black cat in his arms, his gaze deep.

So the one he brought home wasn't a nuisance, but his very own good-luck charm?

A few rambling thoughts: The story of the boss and his little cat ends here. I wrote this book back in high school, many years ago, and I've completely forgotten what was going through my mind when I wrote it. Since August, I've posted the first draft word for word and revised it eight or nine times, but I'm still not satisfied, and I really can't do any more. I've completely forgotten what I originally had in mind for the boss and his younger brother Jiang Chen's storyline. Just treat this as a little bedtime story. After revising it so many times, I feel like I can't understand my past self anymore. The version I've edited now is much more affected and formal, and has lost a lot of the characters' original personalities. I thought about making major changes, but after thinking it over, I don't want to reject who I was back then. On the contrary, I'm proud that I managed to finish a whole novel in high school, even if the story isn't perfect.
