#Marriage First, Love Later + Fluffy + Direct + Tsundere#

Soft, straightforward cat shou x sharp-tongued, aloof, fatherly gong

Xu Pingyan is a little cat demon who has just taken human form and is trying hard to fit into human society.

His partner, Duan Yiling, is the chief of the Demon Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division. He is handsome and cool, decisive and ruthless, and the dream lover of countless demon clans.

Duan Yiling is proud and looks down on Xu Pingyan.

On the day they registered their marriage, he warned him coldly, "Don't act cute to get my attention! I hate fluffy creatures most of all. This marriage is just for show."

Xu Pingyan happily showed him his cat ears. "So you think kitty is cute?"

Duan Yiling: "..."

Xu Pingyan takes Duan Yiling's words to heart. He never expected Duan Yiling to take such good care of him after they got married: staying up all night to look after him when he is sick, taking him to school and making sure he eats his vegetables, and even preparing his favorite snacks...

Gradually, Xu Pingyan starts blushing whenever he is with Duan Yiling, and misses him terribly when they are apart.

After realizing he has fallen for Duan Yiling, the little cat demon grows troubled. Even while doing his homework, he finds himself distracted by the man's long, slender fingers.

Duan Yiling, who is explaining a problem, notices and asks, "What are you thinking about?"

Xu Pingyan blinks his pretty eyes and answers frankly, "Kitty is thinking about how to confess to you." His fair little face immediately turns sad and disappointed. "But then I remembered you don't like fluffy creatures."

Duan Yiling: "Ahem. I... I don't dislike them that much."

Duan Yiling hates his family's control, and that makes him dislike Xu Pingyan too.

But out of a sense of responsibility, he reluctantly sends Xu Pingyan, who can barely read, to school. He even video-calls him at lunchtime just to make sure he eats his vegetables, and buys him a ring so that people with ulterior motives will stay away from him...

As the little cat demon grows more and more dependent on him, Duan Yiling finds it harder to control himself.

One day, Duan Yiling is soothing the little cat demon, who has had catnip. Drunk and hazy, the little cat demon suddenly bites his lips.

Duan Yiling's voice is low. "What are you doing?"

Xu Pingyan's little face turns red with embarrassment. "Kissing you."

Duan Yiling holds his chin and bends down to kiss his lips. "You silly little cat, this is how you kiss..."

(Ordinary, honest shou x abstinent, scheming gong; younger gong)

Everyone says Ruan Lizhi is lucky. He's just an ordinary, honest beta, yet he gets to marry Xun Zheng, the top alpha and head of the Xun family, and their marriage is happy.

At first, Ruan Lizhi thinks so too, until he and an omega get into a car accident. At the moment between life and death, Xun Zheng saves the omega, while Ruan Lizhi is blown to pieces when the car explodes.

Only after death, when he is bound to a System, does Ruan Lizhi learn that the omega is Xun Zheng's unattainable white moonlight, and that Xun Zheng chose him as a substitute only because his eyes resemble the omega's.

The System says Ruan Lizhi can come back to life only if he brings Xun Zheng and his white moonlight together.

So he uses the System to go back.

*

When little Xun Zheng is neglected by the nanny and has no food to eat...

Ruan Lizhi diligently feeds him.

The System is exasperated: Hey! Aren't you supposed to arrange a chance encounter with his childhood crush?

Ruan Lizhi: But Xun Zheng is hungry, and he looks so pitiful.

*

When teenage Xun Zheng goes through his secondary gender differentiation...

Ruan Lizhi is about to go find the white moonlight, but Xun Zheng looks at him with those cool, beautiful eyes. "Senior, help me..."

The System shrieks: Don't say yes!

Ruan Lizhi: But Xun Zheng has a high fever and looks so miserable.

In the end, he can't leave the infirmary for a long time.

*

When adult Xun Zheng gets drunk at a banquet...

Ruan Lizhi wants to open Xun Zheng's door for the white moonlight, but Xun Zheng corners him and kisses him greedily and tenderly. "Lili, just once, okay?"

The System goes berserk: He's not drunk at all! Don't let him fool you, ahhh!

Then it gets blocked for the whole night.

The System: ...

Ruan Lizhi is handsome and well-behaved. Xun Zheng fell in love with him at first sight, and being with him is what Xun Zheng considers the luckiest thing in his life.

But one day, a force takes control of Xun Zheng. He watches helplessly as the person he loves most dies in a raging fire, while he is forced to hold an omega in his arms.

The force compels him to be with the omega. Xun Zheng resists again and again, throwing himself from tall buildings again and again. Every time he wakes, he is back in the car accident that haunts him.

Until one time, when he opens his eyes, he has returned to his childhood. Ruan Lizhi, who should have died, keeps appearing in his life and growing up by his side.

The only thing that displeases Xun Zheng is that Ruan Lizhi is still a little dim and only wants to bring him together with that omega.

Xun Zheng hides his brooding gaze. It doesn't matter. He has plenty of ways to make Ruan Lizhi his!

Little scene:

Ruan Lizhi hands Xun Zheng the omega's love letter and asks nervously, "Can you accept it?"

Xun Zheng smiles faintly. "Sure. Let me kiss you for five minutes."

Ruan Lizhi struggles for a moment, then obediently says, "All right."
