Quick Transmigration: Help, The Male Leads Are All Broken!

In the Middle Ages, black cats symbolized evil.

Su Tang lived a double life in this world. By day, she was Sophia, the Earl's daughter. By night, she was… a black cat.

Yes, the kind of wicked black cat that made people want to kill it on sight.

However, fate played a cruel joke on her.

As the Earl's daughter, she possessed the enviable long, golden curls and the appearance that symbolized nobility and supreme honor. Yet, she was a pitiful young noblewoman without a birth mother, struggling to survive under her stepmother's thumb. But as a black cat, she was Death's beloved pet, the black cat Persephone, whom everyone fawned over.

If you are familiar with Greek mythology, you'll know that Persephone was the wife of Hades, the Queen of the Underworld.

When Su Tang learned that Death had given her this name, she thought he was crazy.

But she didn't expect him to be even crazier.

Su Tang's mission was to prevent the love god, Vienna, from shooting Death with the Arrow of Love. This mission was only a three-star difficulty, mainly because Death had an eccentric and difficult personality. Otherwise, it would have been a piece of cake. The arrow was to be shot at a banquet of the gods. Su Tang only needed to make Death avoid the banquet, or more directly, block the arrow.

Fortunately, the banquet was at night. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to appear as Sophia. While Sophia was a young noblewoman, in the presence of the gods, she was just an ordinary person who could be easily crushed with a finger.

"Dog, what kind of trouble has happened now?"

The system replied, "After you blocked Vienna's Arrow of Love, Death broke Vienna's wings…"

Su Tang remained calm upon hearing this. "And then?"

The system continued, "Death said, 'Didn't she just want to see me get hit by the arrow? Why make it so complicated?'"

Su Tang had a bad feeling. "Don't tell me that after I painstakingly blocked the arrow for him, he asked the love god to shoot him again?"

The system answered, "No. When he almost strangled Vienna, the other gods intervened. Then he pulled the Arrow of Love out of you and stabbed himself with it. He even declared something like, 'What a bullshit Arrow of Love. It's nothing special.'"

Su Tang gasped. "Is there something wrong with him?"

Stabbing himself for no reason? Why doesn't he just ascend to heaven? Was he so bored in the Underworld that he wanted to change his scenery?

Su Tang was truly furious. She lived in fear every day, worried that he would grow tired of her one day, or that her stupid stepmother would sell her off to some old nobleman. She had finally made it to the banquet of the gods, only for him to ruin everything!

The system said, "Child, put your anger aside for now. The black cat's vital signs are weak, and your main soul isn't there. It might not last much longer."

Su Tang's face was numb. "Let it die. What can I do? Should I kill myself and go to the Underworld to tell Death, 'Don't be sad, the black cat is me'?"

The system replied, "Why not? If you do that, you might be able to stay in the Underworld and happily complete your mission."

Su Tang's lips twitched. This system must be as crazy as Death. Death had so many guards; she would probably be stabbed to death before even getting close.

The system was worried, even more so than when it first issued this mission. Initially, it was concerned about Su Tang not being able to get close to Death. But who would have thought that he was a cat lover? After Su Tang shamelessly acted cute and playful, she finally made Death smile, and then he took her to the Underworld.

Being close to the target made the task easier. How long would it take to complete the mission once she was close to Death?

But now, Vienna's Arrow of Love was infused with divine power, not something an ordinary person or cat could withstand. Whether she could survive was one thing, but Death was also blaming the black cat for taking the initiative to block the arrow. Who was he? Did he need someone to block arrows for him?

Death was angry, but if Su Tang knew, she would be even angrier.

Of course, he needed it! It was because he was hit by the Arrow of Love and started a nonsensical romance that messed up the world.

Death used to be desireless, his favorite pastime being deciding who should die when it was hot and which nation should fall when it was cold. But later, because he couldn't find someone he loved, and because of the influence of the Arrow of Love, he became the embodiment of the "FFF团" (Forever Alone), targeting anyone in love. For example, in the Kingdom of Arthur, just because the king and queen were affectionate, he took the queen to the Underworld. Then, finding he didn't like her, he threw her back. Such incidents happened so often that no one could stand it.

Note: FFF团 (FFF Tuan) usually represents a group in Chinese web novels that embodies certain tropes or clichés, often depicted as inept, comical, or overly enthusiastic characters who fail to achieve their goals due to their foolishness or incompetence.

But no one could do anything to him. He was Death, the supreme god, in charge of life and death in the world. No one was his match. Even other gods, though protected by their divine status, could have their divinity stripped by Death if he so wished.

It wasn't that no one could fight him. If one god couldn't defeat him, they could initiate a war of the gods. But if Death were gone, the world order would collapse. So, under normal circumstances, the gods couldn't do anything to him.

Su Tang lay listlessly on the narrow bed. Sophia, as a noblewoman, had her own room. Unfortunately, it was an attic. She was a real-life Cinderella.

"How long until nightfall?"

Sophia was shy and timid, almost never seen in noble circles. At first, her stepmother worried about being discovered for mistreating her stepdaughter. But after realizing that Sophia never wanted to leave the Earl's mansion, she felt relieved to continue mistreating her.

When Su Tang transmigrated here, she was already living in this dark and cramped attic. Fortunately, she could eat her fill at Death's place at night. Otherwise, with the black bread her stepmother gave her, she would either starve to death or lose a layer of skin.

The system replied, "Two hours."

Su Tang felt the hunger in her stomach, but it wasn't unbearable, so she ignored it.

"I'll sleep for a while."

There was nothing to do all day in the attic, so usually, she would be active in her black cat form while Sophia's body slept.

Two hours passed quickly, and when Su Tang woke up, she was already in the small black cat's body.

Only then did she realize how much her abdomen hurt. The slightest movement brought tears to her eyes.

Then, she heard an extremely gloomy voice coming from above her.

"You feel the pain now? You knew it would hurt, yet you still jumped in front of it? Don't you know your own limits? Did I need a little cat like you to block the arrow for me?"

Su Tang's wound truly hurt. Infused with divine power, it was difficult to heal. She wasn't Death; she didn't have divinity and couldn't withstand it. But hearing Death's words, she became furious.

Listen to him! Did he think she wanted to block the arrow? If it weren't for the mission, she wouldn't even glance at him!

Su Tang was so angry that she extended her claws, wanting to scratch him.

Then, she heard a snort of laughter.

Su Tang: …

She blocked the arrow for him, and this chuunibyou had the nerve to laugh at her?
