Miaomiao is a tiny curly-haired kitten living in the Abyssal Jungle.
The big brother next door looks really strange, but he is very, very kind to Miaomiao. He takes Miaomiao out to forage and even teaches Miaomiao all kinds of ways to tame Abyssal creatures.
Big Brother often gently strokes Miaomiao's head with his invisible head, saying in a soft voice, "Miaomiao is the smartest kitten in the entire star domain."
Miaomiao doesn't know what a star domain is, but since even all-knowing Big Brother says so, Miaomiao must be the smartest kitten in the entire star domain.
After one trip outside, Big Brother next door disappeared. A group of people with animal ears or feathered ears, dressed in splendid uniforms, came looking for Miaomiao. They claimed that Miaomiao was the only surviving heir of the Empire's Emperor, lost outside the palace, and said they would take Miaomiao back to the Imperial Palace.
But Big Brother next door said that the future Emperor of the Empire would be a terrible tyrant who eats children!
Miaomiao was taken back to the palace by these strange people, where Miaomiao met his tyrant father for the first time.
The future tyrant, who had just dealt with Imperial traitors, sat solemnly on the throne. He had long white curls and blood-red eyes.
Wh-why does Miaomiao's dad feel so intimidating when they're both curly-haired cats?
Miaomiao tilted his head, but could never figure it out.
Until that night, when the tyrant turned back into his original form to coax Miaomiao to sleep: a majestic white ball of curls, ruby-red beast eyes, and slightly small, round ears...
Miaomiao: ^o . o^!
Dad isn't a kitten, he's a big tiger!
_
Although Dad will become a tyrant in the future, he really is very kind to Miaomiao.
Miaomiao has made up his mind: before Dad becomes a full-fledged tyrant, he will make Dad turn back from the brink and be a good tiger!
Heard Dad was going to execute a suspect without getting the facts straight?
Miaomiao pretended to be so frightened that he had nightmares all night, buying time until the case was solved.
Saw Dad giving the important minister who came to pay court a cold shoulder?
Miaomiao innocently brought the minister tea and desserts. "Miaomiao is apologizing to Uncle on Dad's behalf. Dad is being a bad tiger!"
Heard Dad was going to arrest an innocent citizen, accusing them of being a spy from the Abyss?
Miaomiao hurriedly stepped between Dad and the "innocent citizen." Wait, why does this citizen sound exactly like Big Brother next door?!
The tyrant father gave a faint, amused smile, looking ready to twist Big Brother next door's head off at once. "Say that again. Why did you come here from the Abyss?"
Carion smiled gently at Miaomiao. "I came to find my lost kitten, Your Majesty."
Ever since the Child of the Abyss became the Lord of the Abyss, every Abyssal creature who ventured outside had one purpose: to find their king's tiny kitten, whom he had lost as a boy, no matter the cost.
