[Nonhuman romance + reborn + a touch of fantasy + redemption]
[An arrogant but naive pursuer who knows nothing about the world and relentlessly chases his love once he catches on x a sweet, soft-hearted yet resilient beloved who never backs down]
Sun Yixu thinks his senior, Chen Li, must have something wrong with his head.
He brings him water during military training, takes notes for him in class, and is always showering him with kindness. When it comes to anything concerning Sun Yixu, Chen Li puts him first.
Sun Yixu thinks back over the first nineteen years of his life and is certain he has never done anything to attract this person’s attention.
What he doesn’t know is that it all began when he was sixteen.
At sixteen, Sun Yixu lost both his parents in a car accident and was taken in by his uncle. The following year, he met a stray tabby cat with nowhere to call home, just like him. Only when he was with the kitten did he dare share all his loneliness and sorrow.
But when the rainy season came, the kitten left him too.
Now, the kitten has been reborn.
Taking human form and carrying all its memories from its past life, it comes to the side of its benefactor and clumsily, stubbornly tries to “repay the debt.”
Sun Yixu thinks Chen Li likes him, and gradually falls for him as they grow closer.
But Chen Li is convinced he is only repaying a kindness. He awkwardly hides his true feelings, yet can’t help treating Sun Yixu well.
I thought it was a long-planned secret crush,
but you said it was only a debt repaid, the cycle of cause and effect.
