Background and History
Kitten was discovered alone in bushes on the supposedly deserted island during the Wilderness Survival program. Covered in dust, it initially appeared gray, cried weakly for help, and immediately rubbed against Jiang Fang once found. Jiang Fang discovered that it was hungry and chose to take it in; Qin Yan supported the decision. 15
Although Kitten initially acted weak and unsteady, it soon proved capable of surviving independently. It tried to claim a rabbit Jiang Fang had hunted, dug for potatoes alongside him, and later caught a fish larger than its head after disappearing into the creek. 16 17
Its bond with Jiang Fang deepened during the island’s snake crisis. Kitten intercepted a snake attacking Jiang Fang, fought the lead snake, pursued the retreating swarm, and returned with an injured snake as a hunting gift. 22 23 Following the program, it remained with Jiang Fang through the police-station incident, government meeting, and his entry into Trainee. 36 40 45
Appearance
Kitten is a very small white long-haired lion cat whose fur initially looked gray because it was coated in dirt and dust. Once cleaned and dried, its fur was revealed to be white. 15 18
- Large, expressive cat eyes and a round little head. 17 36
- Long white fur; its appearance changes dramatically after being cleaned. 15 18
- Tiny paws with sharp, extendable claws. 22
- Despite its small size, it can carry or drag prey much larger than itself. 16 17
Personality
Kitten is intensely attached to Jiang Fang, whom it regards as its “Big Kitty.” It becomes distressed when separated from him, attempts to follow him everywhere, and reacts possessively toward people who draw too much of his attention. 17 19 40
It is brave, proud, and eager for praise. Kitten sees hunting as a way to provide for Jiang Fang, proudly presenting fish and snakes as gifts even when Jiang Fang is frightened or refuses the food. 17 23 24 It can also be remorseful: after scratching Jiang Fang’s chest, it recognized the injury, became visibly guilty, and licked the wound in apology. 17
Abilities & Skills
Hunting and Foraging
Kitten is an unexpectedly capable hunter despite its small, initially frail appearance.
- Dragged Jiang Fang’s hunted rabbit and tried to claim it as prey. 16
- Caught several small fish and shrimp, including a fish larger than its own head. 17 19
- Recognizes fish as a preferred food and eagerly responds whenever fishing is discussed. 17 24

Combat and Protection
Kitten possesses extraordinary reflexes, speed, and claw strength when Jiang Fang is threatened.
- Leapt from Jiang Fang’s arms to intercept a lead snake’s attack. 22
- Repeatedly struck the snake’s head with its claws, injuring it and avoiding its attempted bite. 22
- Chased the retreating snake swarm to hunt prey for Jiang Fang. 22
- Reacted aggressively to Long Aozhi’s hostility toward Jiang Fang and attempted to attack him. 18
Charm and Feigned Helplessness
Kitten can use its appearance and behavior to win human sympathy.
- Its abandoned, hungry appearance convinced Jiang Fang and Qin Yan to take responsibility for it. 15
- When Trainee staff considered confiscating it, it performed pitiful cries and clingy behavior that swayed the administrator and surrounding contestants. 46
- Its popularity convinced the Trainee director to permit it to stay, provided it did not interfere with the competition. 47
- Kitten was later formally treated as Jiang Fang’s permitted “accessory” during evaluations. 48
Relationships
- Jiang Fang — Kitten’s chosen “Big Kitty” and primary caretaker. It follows him, hunts for him, and becomes defensive when he is endangered. Jiang Fang indulges it, cooks fish for it, protects it from threats, and checks it for injuries. 15 18 22 23
- Qin Yan — A fellow rescuer and caretaker, but also Kitten’s rival for Jiang Fang’s attention. Qin Yan worries about Kitten’s health and later retrieves it from the police station, while Kitten resents being separated from Jiang Fang by him. 15 19 36
- Fang Yi — Part of Jiang Fang’s survival group and a witness to Kitten’s hunting and snake-fighting exploits. 19 22
- Yan Wei — A Trainee contestant who eagerly agrees to temporarily watch Kitten while Jiang Fang performs. 48
- Ning Xiao — A newcomer Kitten dislikes and competes with for Jiang Fang’s attention. 45
- Long Aozhi — An antagonist whom Kitten reacts to aggressively after sensing his hostility. 18
Story Role
*Wilderness Survival*
Kitten’s arrival turns Jiang Fang and Qin Yan’s two-person partnership into a three-member team. Its hunting contributions help provide fish and small seafood, while its attachment to Jiang Fang reinforces the “Big Kitty/Little Kitty” dynamic noticed by viewers. 15 17 19
During the snake-egg incident, Kitten becomes a decisive protector by stopping the lead snake from biting Jiang Fang. Its actions help establish Jiang Fang and Kitten as heroes of the crisis in the eyes of the livestream audience and director Jiang Nan. 22 24
Post-Island Life
After the island program, Kitten remains with Jiang Fang through legal disputes and government scrutiny. It causes significant damage while temporarily kept at a police station, then insists on accompanying Jiang Fang to the Ministry of Science and Technology rather than being left behind again. 36 40
*Trainee*
Kitten secretly accompanies Jiang Fang to Trainee in a cream-colored crossbody bag. Its discovery during baggage inspection creates immediate attention, and its popularity helps reverse the production team’s initial objections. 45 46 47
At the competition venue, Kitten becomes an unofficial mascot. Jiang Fang ensures that his roommates are not allergic before bringing it into the dorm, and later entrusts it to Yan Wei during his first-stage evaluation. 47 48
Trivia
- Kitten originally had an older brother it calls “Flat-Head Bro,” who taught it that snakes were “spicy strips.” Kitten hopes to become a “Flat-Head Cat hero” itself. 22
- It prefers grilled fish but also enjoys rabbit meat and potatoes. 24 25
- Kitten’s apparent weakness after being found was partly deceptive; Jiang Fang realizes it had been capable of surviving and hunting on its own. 18
- While Jiang Fang was giving a statement, Kitten scratched up a police-station sofa, left paw prints on documents, and sat atop a filing cabinet meowing at the officers. Qin Yan paid for the damage. 36
