About this book
Mo Tianliao was once a feared demonic cultivator, a master weapon-smith whose ambition nearly brought the world to its knees. After falling to a coalition of righteous sects, his final act of defiance was to ensure the safety of his beloved white kitten. Four hundred years later, Mo Tianliao awakens in a new body, stripped of his former power and forced to navigate a world that has long since moved on.
To survive, he infiltrates a righteous sect as a lowly disciple, only to find himself under the tutelage of Qingtong, an ethereal and aloof cultivator whose peculiar, cat-like mannerisms feel hauntingly familiar. The dynamic between the cynical, former villain and his enigmatic master is as volatile as it is humorous. As Mo Tianliao struggles to adapt to his new life, he becomes increasingly convinced that the elegant Qingtong shares an inseparable, secret connection to his past.
Amidst the cultivation trials and the mystery of his own resurrection, Mo Tianliao must balance his hidden identity with his growing fascination for his master. This lighthearted fantasy romance blends supernatural conflict with domestic comedy, exploring whether a legendary demon can find redemption—and love—at the feet of the man he cannot stop watching.

A. K. S.Cozy but with high stakes
"Since I liked The Wife Comes First, I started immediately another book by Lv Ye Qian He that has been recently published too. The White Cat's Divine Scratching Post is very different from the first book. It’s set in an ancient cultivation world instead of a historical setting, and has fantasy elements to it. But it’s equally delightful and a bit better even. Mo Tianliao is a follower of the unorthodox cultivation path and a renown maker of artifacts, but now he’s made one that can destroy the world. So, the cultivation world has teamed up to kill him before he can complete the artifact. Mo Tianliao has one more ace in his sleeve, however, a trap that destroys everyone hunting him, including him. He only manages to save his spirit beast, Pawpaw, a little white cat who has been his sole companion for centuries. He doesn’t completely die, however. To his surprise, he finds his spirit protected by a strange force, and so he wanders around the world for centuries in search for a body for himself. He tricks a divine tree into accepting him, and forges himself a body much like his old one of it, only he’s a little younger looking and without his previous cultivation level. Since he needs to be strong in case his enemies are still around, he joins a remote sect to start training anew. It’s a curious sect though, that only accepts beautiful disciples. And no one is as beautiful as Qingtong, a divine looking master who chooses Mo Tianliao as his personal disciple, much to the other disciples’ dismay. Mo Tianliao is stronger than he looks though, with knowledge of his first life helping him. Which comes in handy, because his shizun’s teaching method is ‘figure it out yourself.’ To his absolute joy, Mo Tianliao finds Pawpaw there too. But he’s smaller than he should be for his age, and he’s always sleeping, which worries Mo Tianliao. The cat isn’t the only one worrying him. His shizun is also in poor health. As Mo Tianliao settles into his new life, he starts noticing curious things about the sect. And he starts noticing that his new shizun and Pawpaw share remarkable similarities. This was a delightful start to a story. Because of the title, some comparisons has been made with The Husky and His White Cat Shizun by Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou, but the similarities end with the title. This one is fairly cozy, the conflicts small and easily dealt with, and fight scenes are short, though there are actual casualties. Mo Tianliao, despite hailing from an unorthodox cultivation path, isn’t evil or in need of reconciling his past, and his love for his cat is absolute. Pawpaw is an actual cat, self-esteemed and with a tendency to scratch Mo Tianlio for slightest things, which the latter suffers calmly, and more easily now that he can turn parts of his body into a tree. Qingtong is exactly like a cat, capricious and a bit selfish, but affectionate in his own way. The main side characters are funny and all with a secret that I won’t reveal here, because it brought me so much joy. The plot goes on in a steady pace and gives a notion that the original work wasn’t published as a web novel, because there are no side quests or unnecessary scenes, and the narrative doesn’t repeat itself. It’s not a highly emotional plot, although the romance starts budding here, but it has high stakes, because it turns out that the only way to heal Qingtong is by completing the artifact Mo Tianlio died for in the first place. I’m looking forward to reading how that turns out. ["

alexPleasant read after being disappointed by MisVil
"Loving it so far and I'm very excited for my volume 2 to come in!! It's very silly and the extras at the end of every chapter feel like a little sweet treat after a big meal. Finished it in a day and moped knowing volume 2 wouldn't arrive until much later. My only minor complaint is I wish we'd hear shizuns inner dialogue more. ["
