[Modern Sweet Romance | Adorable Black Cat | Past and Present Lives | Unexpectedly Cute Emperor | Arrogant CEO]
Qin Shi Huang died.
For three thousand years after his death, he watched his Qin dynasty fall, saw history books fill with the words “tyrant,” and listened as generation after generation cursed his name. He was so furious he nearly spat blood.
He went to Yan Luo and begged for reincarnation. Yan Luo was troubled. “Everyone fears you. I can't let you be reborn.”
He went to the Jade Emperor to demand justice. The Jade Emperor shook his head. “Your life was full of slaughter, and you never experienced love. You don't deserve reincarnation.”
In the end, the Jade Emperor gave him one chance: if someone truly shed a tear for him, he could return to the mortal world.
He waited three thousand years, his heart long since turned cold.
Then a girl named Su Wanning read his biography in the library, her eyes reddened, and a single tear fell.
The Jade Emperor couldn't go back on his word, but secretly rigged the deal: Qin Shi Huang would return to the mortal world as a black cat, to be taken in by her.
She had no idea that the aloof, fluffed-up cat was the legendary emperor himself.
She would talk to him, saying she understood his merits and faults, understood his helplessness. She would hold him to warm her hands and spend half the day happy whenever he rubbed against her.
And as he watched her cry for him and offer him tenderness without reservation, the ice that had surrounded his heart for three thousand years finally began to melt.
Whenever his nose bled, it wasn't a cat's instinct. It was his heart, silent for three thousand years, beating again for her.
This time, he was no lofty emperor. He was simply a black cat in her arms, one that got embarrassed and had nosebleeds.
The world called him cruel, but she held his face and said, “I know you're not.”
Three thousand years of solitude and cold were finally warmed by her tenderness.
