"Petkeeper" is an urban supernatural novel by the web writer Wang Shaoshao. It was first serialized online in 2011 and subsequently published in paperback by Taiwan's Shuofan Culture, with twelve volumes in total and the final volume released in June 2012. The protagonist, Wang Yu, grew up in a children's welfare home and was treated like her own child by Aunt Lin. Half a year after graduating from Linjiang Municipal Agricultural Science and Technology University with a degree in veterinary medicine, he still cannot find formal employment and struggles between the promise to "be a good person and hold a proper job" and the pressure to survive. One day, while helping a little girl named Xuanxuan retrieve a kite string in People's Square, he is struck by lightning; when he wakes, a strange entity called the "Petkeeper System" now exists within his body, allowing him to take specific people as "pets" and share their abilities and skills as their intimacy rises. To keep his promise to Aunt Lin, Wang Yu initially insists on making a living on the straight and narrow and joins an advertising company as a salesperson; yet the system brings all kinds of people and troubles into his path, with romance and trouble arriving together. He is noticed by a cool, capable female director, completes one seemingly impossible deal after another by unconventional means, and quickly becomes a star at the company. As the plot develops, his powers and influence expand, drawing him into larger conflicts such as the struggle for control of the North District. The series unfolds on the basis of a "system + urban" premise, with a brisk pace and short chapters; it is a typical male-oriented urban power-fantasy web novel. This entry covers the series as a whole, not any single volume.Editor's review
如果你怀念2010年前后中文网络文学最典型的“都市+系统”配方，王少少的《饲主》算是那个年代绕不开的一本。它的设定干净利落：一个兽医专业毕业、连房租都交不起的福利院孤儿，一场雷击换来一套“饲主系统”，从此把“好人”的誓言和“开挂”的人生拧在一起。作者本人做过几年电脑维修，2005年才转行写网文，笔下带着一股市井气和自嘲式幽默，主角王羽既有小人物的窘迫，也有不肯彻底堕落的底线，这让爽点不至于轻飘飘。全书分段出版、单册篇幅短，通勤或睡前读上几章，节奏很舒服。需要提醒的是，本书是2011—2012年的作品，其中“把女性收为宠物”的设定放在今天看会显得陈旧甚至令人不适，把它当作一个时代的类型样本去读，体验会更平和。适合对早期网文生态好奇、想补齐都市系统流源流的读者，也适合喜欢短章快节奏、不追求文学性的纯放松阅读。Who it's for
A good fit for
- 喜欢都市异能、系统流设定的男性向网文读者
- 想了解2010年前后中文网文类型演变的读者
- 需要轻松快节奏、短章阅读的碎片时间读者
- 能接受旧作在性别设定上略显陈旧的宽容型读者
Not a good fit for
- 对“收为宠物”等设定敏感、反感物化女性描写的读者
- 偏好严肃文学、看重文笔与结构的读者
- 不喜欢金手指开挂和爽文套路的读者
Reading tips
- 建议从系列第一册读起，理清“饲主系统”的规则设定再看后续情节。
- 把它当类型样本而非名著，重点看2010年代都市爽文的节奏与套路。
- 遇到价值观明显过时的段落可快速略读，不必纠结细节。
- 读完可对照同类系统流作品，观察十年间这一类型的设定变化。

About the author
王少少 AuthorWang Shaoshao is an author about whom little public information is available. The only confirmed work is The Classic of the Heart of Seduction (Yunü Xinjing). The book is often classified under literary appreciation, which suggests that its content may involve analysis and commentary on related texts, characters, or narrative techniques rather than being purely original fiction. Because the author's biography, nationality, and creative background are not clearly documented, it is difficult to assess the overall trajectory of Wang's writing career or to confirm whether other pen names or cross-genre works exist. Based on the available clues, Wang Shaoshao's writing appears to center on classical or traditional themes, using an appreciative approach to discuss gender relations, character psychology, and textual meaning, with a style that may combine commentary and literary expression. Readers interested in interpretations of classical themes may take The Classic of the Heart of Seduction as an entry point for understanding the author's writing orientation, while remaining cautious about drawing excessive inferences about the person and the work.
