[Gender-bender romance + one-on-one + cuddles + everyday life + mind games + groveling redemption]
On my first day after transmigrating into a book, I found out that two years later, the female lead would throw me into a cesspit and drown me.
The System told me: Complete a mission every day to grow taller. Fail, and I shrink. Reach 168 cm, and I’ll get a two-million-yuan escape fund!
The plan was simple: keep my head down, save up, and run.
The female lead, Ye Zhiwei, was a reborn, invincible heroine from the original novel. I avoided her, but she kept blocking my way.
The first time I tried to escape, she was waiting for me at the airport.
The second time, she showed up the instant I crossed the provincial border.
The third time, after I’d spent three days planning my route, she smiled and handed me a bottle of water. “Tired?”
How does she find me every single time?!
Even worse, she seemed able to hear my thoughts.
“She looks so pretty in that white dress today, oh no, did she hear that, ”
She curled her lips into a smile. “Mm-hm, I heard.”
“I really want to hug her, no, I’ll die if I do, ”
She leaned closer. “If you want to hug me, go ahead.”
The System’s pop-ups appeared every day: Mission failed! Height -0.5 cm!
I shrank from 150 to 140, then 125, then 120… until one day, I looked in the mirror and realized I’d become…
a cat.
Locked in a cage for three days, I watched her finger slip through the bars and gently tap my head.
“Still going to run?”
“Meow.”
Note: The book mainly focuses on the two characters’ inner thoughts, though there will be less of that later on.
The plot is very coherent and the characters are well developed.
