An innocent, kind, sheltered, and growing Vermilion Bird heroine x a seemingly cold, aloof, but actually devoted and affectionate emperor hero who loves being spoiled
Jun Qianxi once saved a cat demon by accident and trained it to be her pet. But the cat demon turned out to be the White Tiger Emperor, an immortal of the same rank as her father. The first thing the emperor does after escaping her clutches is seek revenge on the Vermilion Bird clan.
As for Jun Qianxi, she's imprisoned in a desolate mountain wilderness in the human realm and forced to become the emperor's pet.
Before she dies, Jun Qianxi undergoes nirvana.
She's reborn at the moment she saved the cat demon.
On the execution platform, a snow-white cat is chained by all four legs. Its body is covered in wounds, and it's barely alive.
Jun Qianxi lowers her eyes and thinks for a moment. Mindful of his status as an emperor, she steps forward and saves him anyway.
She takes good care of the little cat, silently praying: Our debts are settled. From now on, let's go our separate ways and never meet again.
After the emperor recovers, he turns into a man while lying on top of Jun Qianxi one day. Staring at her with bright blue eyes, he says, "You foolish girl, how dare you treat this lord like a pet?"
Jun Qianxi: "..."
In her previous life, she really did train him to be a pet. She was in the wrong, but this time she'd fed him well and looked after him!
Heaven can bear witness! She's innocent!
Jun Qianxi sets the cat demon free and waves him off. "Go on, get going!"
But only a few months after she lets the emperor go, he abducts Jun Qianxi to a side hall during a heavenly banquet.
The usually cool and self-possessed emperor turns into a fluffy little cat, nuzzles Jun Qianxi's palm, and asks, "Qianxi, can I be your pet?"
