Rong Wuya is a divine beast, but his divine power was sealed and he was turned back into his original form, leaving him a pitiful, harmless, clingy little white cat in the human world.
He has all the special skills of a cat: he can see ghosts, talk to ghosts, and...
He’s really good at acting cute! And he has an extreme double standard!
Rong Wuya in everyone else’s eyes: aloof, powerful, an untouchable god.
Rong Wuya in Yi Jiu’s eyes: clingy, weak, and unable to live without him.
Hot-tempered, irreverent Taoist bottom x sweet, scheming white-cat top; younger top, both pure, 1v1, sweet romance, happy ending
Warning: Extra-long blurb ahead
As a Taoist, Yi Jiu had three rules: He wouldn’t take jobs that paid too little, because they were more trouble than they were worth. He wouldn’t take jobs too far from home, because they were too much effort. And he wouldn’t take jobs with lots of people, because he didn’t like small talk.
The result was...
He was broke.
For over twenty years, he’d been living in a shabby little attic, enduring a bleak life with no future in sight.
His older brother summed it up: “You turn down this job and that job. You deserve to starve!”
Yi Jiu couldn’t care less. “Running all over the place for work every day is so boring. I’d rather starve to death like a rat in a gutter than be an unlucky wage slave. At least I’d be free.”
Back then, Yi Jiu probably never imagined that every one of his rules would eventually be broken, all because of a cat.
Looking at the little white cat at the rescue center, who wouldn’t let anyone else touch him and insisted on clinging to Yi Jiu, he said miserably,
“Your Highness, please take pity on me and let me go! I can barely afford to feed myself, let alone a cat!”
The white cat nuzzled his leg ingratiatingly, then let out several pitiful little mews. Its watery blue eyes were especially sweet and innocent.
“I’m a Taoist. I spend my days driving out and catching ghosts, and I run into so many supernatural incidents I could eat them for breakfast!” Yi Jiu grew less convincing with every word. “What if you follow me and get scared to death?”
The cat said nothing. It just kept pushing its way into his arms.
Fooled by its sweet and docile act, Yi Jiu ended up taking it in. Thus began his wage-slave life of hunting ghosts on the clock every day.
A friend messaged him late at night to make fun of him: “I hear you’re taking jobs all over the place to save up for cat food? You’re really eating your words! Does your face hurt?”
Yi Jiu: “You don’t understand. This little kitty needs me! I’m all he has! How can he live without me?”
Later.
The tall white cat, now in human form, wrapped his arms around Yi Jiu from behind, his voice cool and pleasant.
“Big Brother, don’t go. I really need you.” He buried his face in Yi Jiu’s shoulder and laughed softly. “How could I live without you?”
Oh no! He’d been tricked!
A sly little cat (crossed out) a big cat with a scheming streak. All flaws, no returns. Don’t worry about the fur being the wrong color, don’t worry about a language barrier, and no refunds.
“Don’t be mad,” Rong Wuya nuzzled the back of his neck. “You won’t regret taking care of me.”
