The Mystery Author and the White Fluffy Cat - The White Cat from Another World

“The world is full of people searching for a place to belong.

Some search through endless roads.

Some search through forgotten memories.

And some discover that home was never a place…

but a person who chose to stay.”

— The Forgotten Moon, by Shadow Raven

Beneath the endless sky of silver clouds and the gentle glow of two moons…

There existed a realm hidden from mortal eyes.

A realm where ancient forests stretched beyond the horizon.

Where rivers carried spiritual energy through crystal-clear waters.

Where flowers bloomed even beneath the quiet darkness of night.

The Shangyue Realm.

The Realm of Twin Moons.

For thousands of years, the Spirit Cats living within this realm protected the balance between nature, spirits, and the Human World.

They lived among ancient traditions.

They followed the guidance of their ancestors.

And they were governed by the Four Great Clans.

The Xue Clan.

The Hua Clan.

The Yan Clan.

The Yue Clan.

Among these four clans…

The Xue Clan stood at the highest position.

Not because they possessed the strongest warriors.

Not because they held the greatest wealth.

But because their descendants carried the responsibility of protecting the harmony of Shangyue Realm.

And among the descendants of the Xue Clan…

There was one person everyone believed would bring honor to their name.

Xue Meixiu.

The First Miss of the Xue Clan.

From a young age, Meixiu had always been different.

Unlike other noble descendants who focused on status and power, she preferred wandering through the gardens, caring for injured spirit creatures, and listening to the stories of ordinary people.

“Miss Meixiu, you shouldn’t be carrying that yourself.”

A servant hurried forward as she saw the young woman carrying a basket of herbs.

Meixiu smiled.

“It’s alright.”

“But you’re the First Miss.”

“And?”

The servant became speechless.

Meixiu tilted her head.

“Being the First Miss doesn’t mean I cannot help others.”

That was the kind of person she was.

Gentle.

Patient.

Kind.

And because of that...

She was loved.

Not only by the people of the Xue Clan.

But by the entire Shangyue Realm.

“You’re late.”

A familiar voice called from behind.

Meixiu turned and smiled.

“Yan Zichen.”

The young successor of the Yan Clan crossed his arms.

“You promised to meet us an hour ago.”

Meixiu looked embarrassed.

“I lost track of time.”

“Because you were helping the flower spirits again?”

“…Maybe.”

A quiet laugh came from beside him.

Yue Jingchen shook his head.

“As expected.”

Beside them, Hua Qingran smiled warmly.

“She never changes.”

These three were more than just successors of the other Great Clans.

They were Meixiu’s closest friends.

The people who knew her not as the future leader of the Xue Clan...

But simply as Meixiu.

For many years…

The four of them grew beneath the light of the twin moons.

They believed nothing could separate them.

Unfortunately…

Even the brightest moon could be covered by darkness.

And sometimes…

The greatest danger did not come from enemies.

It came from someone standing beside you.

Inside the Xue Clan residence…

A young woman stared at her reflection.

Shen Mingzhu.

Originally an orphan—

She had been adopted by the Xue Clan and given a new identity.

She became the second daughter of the Xue family.

Xue Mingzhu.

At first…

She was grateful.

She truly was.

She had a home.

A family.

A sister who treated her kindly.

But kindness could not silence the voice inside her heart.

Because no matter how hard she tried…

People always compared her to Meixiu.

“Miss Meixiu is truly admirable.”

“Miss Meixiu helped another spirit creature today.”

“Miss Meixiu will definitely become a wonderful clan leader.”

Every compliment toward Meixiu felt like another reminder.

That she would never be enough.

One night…

Mingzhu stood beneath the moonlight.

Her hands slowly tightened.

“Why…?”

Her voice trembled.

“Why is everything always hers?”

The question remained unanswered.

But the jealousy inside her continued growing.

Until one day…

A lie was created.

And that lie changed everything.

A precious clan artifact disappeared.

Suspicion spread.

Rumors followed.

And before Meixiu could understand what was happening…

The people she loved began looking at her with disappointment.

“Meixiu.”

Her father’s voice was colder than she had ever heard.

“Explain yourself.”

She stared at him.

Confusion filled her eyes.

“I don’t understand.”

Her mother looked away.

“Mingzhu told us everything.”

The name struck her heart.

“…Mingzhu?”

She couldn’t believe it.

The girl she protected.

The sister she accepted.

The person she trusted.

Could it really be her?

“I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Her voice shook.

“I swear.”

But no one listened.

The dungeon beneath the Xue Clan residence was cold.

Dark.

Silent.

Every day…

The only visitor Meixiu received was Mingzhu.

The door opened.

Footsteps echoed.

“Big Sister Meixiu.”

Mingzhu smiled.

“How are you?”

Meixiu looked at her quietly.

“…Why?”

Mingzhu stopped.

“Why did you do this?”

For a moment…

Silence.

Then Mingzhu laughed softly.

“Because I was tired.”

“Tired?”

“Of standing behind you.”

Her smile faded.

“You have everything.”

“Everyone loves you.”

“Everyone believes in you.”

Meixiu lowered her gaze.

“Mingzhu…”

“I hate that even after everything…”

“You still look at me like family.”

The words hurt more than anger.

Because Meixiu realized…

The person she wanted to save…

Had already chosen to hurt her.

That night…

Under the light of the twin moons…

Meixiu made her decision.

She would leave.

Not because she stopped loving Shangyue Realm.

But because she no longer recognized the place where she stood.

Before leaving…

She visited the ancient camellia tree in the garden.

The same tree she had loved since childhood.

A single white camellia bloomed.

Meixiu gently touched its petals.

“Goodbye.”

A tear fell.

“I hope…”

“Somewhere beyond these moons…”

“I can find a place where I belong.”

And then…

She crossed the boundary between worlds.

The Human World.

Meixiu immediately regretted one thing.

Humans were strange.

Very strange.

The moving metal objects.

The glowing buildings.

The endless sounds.

Everything was overwhelming.

She hid inside a narrow alley.

Her stomach growled.

She looked down at the piece of food nearby.

Silence.

The First Miss of the Xue Clan stared at discarded human food.

“This is humiliating.”

But hunger was stronger than pride.

She carefully stepped forward.

Clang.

A metal can rolled away.

Silence.

Then…

Growling.

Meixiu froze.

Slowly…

She turned.

Three large stray dogs stared back.

Meixiu raised her paw slightly.

“Perhaps…”

“…We can discuss this peacefully?”

The dogs barked.

“Woof!”

Her ears flattened.

“That is not a peaceful response.”

The dogs charged.

And the First Miss of the Xue Clan ran.

Through streets.

Across alleys.

Over walls.

Her white fluffy fur became covered in dust.

Her dignity disappeared.

Her patience disappeared.

Everything disappeared.

Except her desire to survive.

“Why are these creatures so persistent?!”

The barking grew closer.

She turned.

A stone wall blocked her path.

No escape.

Then…

A familiar scent reached her.

Flowers.

Without thinking…

She jumped.

And at that moment…

Her entire world changed.

A human caught her.

Warm arms surrounded her trembling body.

“It’s alright…”

The young man’s voice was gentle.

“You’re safe now.”

Meixiu looked up.

Dark eyes.

Soft expression.

No disgust.

No anger.

No fear.

Only kindness.

For the first time since leaving Shangyue Realm…

She felt safe.

Moonlight Pages.

The human brought her inside.

The bookstore was warm.

Quiet.

Peaceful.

Books surrounded every corner.

Flowers decorated the windows.

Meixiu looked around curiously.

This place…

It felt strangely familiar.

The human placed her gently on the couch.

“You must be hungry.”

She immediately looked away.

Her stomach betrayed her again.

The human noticed.

A small smile appeared.

“I’ll prepare something.”

Meixiu watched him leave.

This human was strange.

He helped her without knowing anything about her.

He didn’t ask for anything.

He simply helped.

Something she hadn’t felt in a long time.

The bell above the entrance suddenly rang.

Ding…

The human stood.

“I’ll be right back.”

He looked at her.

“Stay here.”

Meixiu blinked.

For some reason…

She wanted to obey.

The door closed.

Silence returned.

Then…

A strange warmth surrounded her.

Her spiritual energy became unstable.

“What…”

Light surrounded her body.

Her eyes widened.

“No…”

She tried to resist.

But the transformation had already begun.

Several minutes later…

The bookstore door opened.

Mu Yinju returned.

“I apologize for making you wait…”

His voice stopped.

The couch was no longer occupied by a white fluffy cat.

Instead…

A young woman with long black hair, its dark strands shimmering with silvery highlights beneath the moonlight, was sleeping peacefully on the couch.

Yinju froze.

His mind went completely blank.

The room became silent.

The impossible scene stared back at him.

The stray cat he rescued…

Was gone.

And in its place…

Was a mysterious woman.

Yinju slowly looked toward the empty space where the cat had been.

Then back at the sleeping woman.

His expression became completely unreadable.

“How…?”

“How did my cat turn into a human?”

And before the famous mystery author could solve the greatest mystery he had ever encountered…

His consciousness disappeared.
