His hobbies included stealing his roommate’s cat food and slacking off at school. He thought his idyllic days would last forever, until he discovered… A host of strange individuals had suddenly appeared around him, treating him like a stepping stone and trying to bully him. At a banquet, the enlightened eldest daughter of a noble clan sneered at him in public: “You’re just a trash collector! How dare you seduce my fiancé? Are you that desperate for money?” Jiang Huang: “What gibberish are you spouting like a lunatic? And who exactly is your fiancé?” At the airport, a cold, aloof designer who had returned from studying abroad dismissed him with disdain: “You’re nothing but my substitute. Just look at your pathetic self—he doesn’t even like you.” Jiang Huang turned his head and said into the phone: “Did you hear that? Even they can see it—I don’t like you at all. And another thing, he’s being so rude. I don’t like him. I’ve picked him up for you. When can I leave? Oh, and don’t forget to wire my payment.” Jiang Huang, a straightforward cat, was always online, ready to roast anyone. It wasn’t until later that he learned these “Strategists”—as the lunatics called themselves—saw him merely as an NPC in their “script,” with his companions as their targets. His tear-stained wolf-tailed roommate, who acted like a male mother, was secretly a Necromancer. The cunning, cheerful, and unusually virtuous neighbor was a Dark Web Assassin. And the timid, introverted classmate who loved cake was actually the School Bully. Stunned, Jiang Huang asked, “So… I’m the only one who’s genuinely a clueless, innocent big orange cat—both on the surface and deep down?” The Strategists hailed from various worlds, their mission to “conquer” the group of terrorists surrounding Jiang Huang. But as their “conquest” progressed, an unavoidable dilemma emerged: they all seemed to fall for the cat named Jiang Huang! The proud young master of a noble clan desperately wanted to take him as a pet. The sharp-tongued, violent wolf-eared boy pretended to be weak to get close to him. The aloof, cold-blooded long-haired wizard meticulously cared for him. “They see you as a precious treasure, so much so they’d devour you whole if they could,” the Strategists warned. Jiang Huang, his worldview shattered, could only whimper, “Eek!” (Strategist’s POV) Read at Novelib.com You are a Strategist, having arrived here with ulterior motives and willing to stop at nothing to achieve your goals. Mission 1: Conquer Lu Chen, former mentor of the Wizarding World and current chief of the Necromancy World. Legend has it that this chief is aloof and unapproachable, showing interest in nothing but his research. Remember: never enter his laboratory without permission—face the consequences alone. After gathering firsthand intelligence, Strategist A transformed into a highly educated junior wizard from the Wizarding World, visiting Lu Chen as an ardent fan. After laboriously passing a series of trials, she finally gained access to his residence. Just as the two were engrossed in professional discussions, on the verge of “finding a kindred spirit,” a series of meows echoed from Lu Chen’s laboratory—the very laboratory marked as “off-limits” in Strategist A’s database. Strategist A went to investigate and found an orange cat curled up inside an oversized beaker on the experiment table. Stray strands of feline fur lay scattered across the priceless obsidian surface and the rare experimental materials that were virtually impossible to find on the market. Beside them lay a bag of fine rice, emblazoned with gilded magical runes that read: “Cat Food.” The orange cat continued to meow, its charmingly indolent demeanor shocking Strategist A to the core. So much for “no living beings allowed” and “extreme fastidiousness”! I guess you’re not so fastidious when it comes to cats, huh? Strategist A, mission failed!! Mission 2: Capture Si Lan, the former wealthy young master turned irritable campus heartthrob. According to records, this young master comes from a distinguished family with a complex background. His years of aristocratic upbringing have molded him into a picky and willful character. Remember, he despises fools, especially the kind who blindly obey their families. Oh, a picky and irritable young master, huh? I get it! Strategist B transformed into a stubborn girl from a poor family and became Si Lan’s desk partner after transferring classes. Their daily bickering escalated into conflicts, eventually forcing her to help him organize club documents and settle his debts. Just when she thought their relationship was blossoming, she accidentally discovered that during the time she’d been dismissed by Si Lan, he hadn’t been secretly observing her as she’d assumed. Instead, he’d grabbed a box of cupcakes and rushed to an empty classroom to tutor someone! “This, this, I don’t understand any of it,” the orange cat said, flicking his tail at the person beside him. Instead of scornful glares or mockery, his clueless demeanor was met with a doting smile. “If you don’t understand, that’s why I’m here to teach you, sweetie. Let’s not rush things. First, let’s have some cake.” What about your supposed “stupid-phobia”?! So you’re only willing to talk to me to free up time for a date with him, huh?! Read at Novelib.com Standing at the doorway of the empty classroom, Strategist B let out a wail of defeat, like a vanquished underdog. Then… Mission failed… Mission Three, Mission Four… all failed. This novel is also known as The Cat Who Knows Nothing, On the Deeply Hidden Dangerous Elements Around Me, and Only the Cat Doesn’t Get It. Reading Guide: This story features no absolute villains; its central theme is the Cat’s daily confrontations with people. As a slice-of-life narrative, it naturally includes bizarre elements such as the true and false heiress murder case, a campus battle royale, and the cat becoming an idol. Perfectly normal, right? Jiang Huang can transform into a human—he’s a shape-shifting cat—but he always leaves his tail and ears visible because he thinks it looks cool. Regarding romance, the story maintains a light touch. The primary focus remains the cat’s daily roasts, as stated in the first point above. The designated male lead on the character sheet is Song Yu. As for other characters, after the main story concludes, there will be exclusive “what if” scenarios.
