Captain Yan’s Canary Has Gained Sentience

Bai Yiyi asked, “When can I fully turn back into a human?”

The system replied, “Sweetie, when your satisfaction rating with me hits one hundred points.”

Bai Yiyi utterly despaired over this half-baked system. It had kidnapped him out of nowhere and possessed zero reading comprehension—a total rookie screw-up of a thing.

The night before, he’d been binge-reading web novels right up until bedtime, wistfully admiring how those pampered pet canaries lived blissfully spoiled by their domineering bosses. Then bam—he got snatched and crammed straight into a bird’s body.

That’s right: a phoenix-crested canary with spotless white feathers all over and a dark gray crest puffed up like a slice of watermelon. One hundred percent the real deal.

But with an owner who vanished for days at a stretch and only bothered feeding him heaps of bugs every few days on the dot,

Bai Yiyi was convinced he’d never survive long enough to reclaim his human form.

A birdman desperate to become human again? God, this was too damn hard.

Every detective in the squad knew that Captain Yan Tuo kept an exceptionally smart pet bird—an ornamental beauty with brains to match.

As the very first police bird ever awarded the exalted title of “Divine Bird,”

It didn’t just play cute, cooing and fluttering for attention. No, the little wonder could paint pictures, belt out songs,

And even pitch in on searches and collaring criminals.

What nobody knew, though,

Was that this poor little darling also had to tidy the house and whip up meals,

And worst of all… warm its master’s bed.
