Su Miao was gravely ill and near death. Before closing his eyes, he fed a stray kitten one last meal. When he opened them again, he'd become a kitten himself!
His older brother was allergic to cat fur, his father hated all furry animals, and his mother had a parrot that had once seemed merely sharp-tongued but was now ravenous... How was he supposed to go home? He had no choice but to borrow his nemesis of a neighbor.
The heir to Prince Ding's title was cold, ruthless, stingy, and vindictive. He'd bullied Su Miao countless times over the years. What a waste of that handsome face. But the man had one fatal weakness: he loved kittens! Su Miao even knew his habits and preferences. This was going to be a piece of cake!
Su Miao fancied himself a gentleman. He only wanted revenge for being bullied before: knock over the man's teacups, ruin his orchids, bite his clothes, leap around, and wreck the place. He took over the softest silk quilt and velvet pillow and ruled the entire mansion... But he'd helped out, too! He chased away a Yangzhou beauty sent into the manor who was obviously a spy, and scratched up the face of someone trying to frame the Marquis's household! Kittens are amazing!
Every day, the kitten peered over the wall around his family home. He knew his family had gone frantic looking for him, his brother had lost weight, and his mother had fallen ill. He was so anxious he kept biting his tail... Huh? He'd turned back into a person? He hurried home to put out the fires, soothe his mother and brother, and torment his old man a little. The family was reunited, happy and well...
But the neighbor next door had gone mad again! The heir to Prince Ding's title was making a huge fuss over losing his cat, acting like he'd lost his mind. Word on the street was that it wasn't really about the cat, but about his sweetheart. He'd even declared that if his little darling didn't come home, he'd join them in death!
Su Miao: "...Damn it, I turned into a cat again just from hearing the gossip!"
The kitten was exhausted in body and mind, dashing between the two households and trying to soothe one person after another, then riling them up all over again. He was stretched to his limits, struggling to keep all his lies straight. Thanks to his strenuous efforts, the two families finally stopped glaring daggers at each other like before... and started trying to kill each other instead!
One day, the heir to Prince Ding's title scaled the wall with a dark look and demanded his cat. "Su Daluo, hand over my kitten! Want to get exiled to Ningguta?"
Su Miao's brother wasn't the least bit afraid. He raised a stick at him. "Zhao Yasha, how dare you show your face at my house! Where did you steal my sweet, well-behaved little brother? Keep making excuses and refusing to give him back, and our whole family will wipe you out, even if we die trying!"
The foul-mouthed parrot shrieked that Big Brother was the manliest and wouldn't cry, then tried to scratch the neighbor's face with its sharp claws. Their mother stood by helplessly... and kicked their father. "Say something, will you!"
A good-for-nothing rich kid from the Five Cities' Garrison had landed an easy job today: capture the useless young master of the Miao family and a troublesome kitten. He pounded on the door, but nobody answered. How dare they disrespect him? He kicked the door open...
Crash! Stars exploded before his eyes, and for a moment he thought he saw his great-grandmother.
Good heavens! He was only trying to capture an unimportant, sickly boy and a little beast that couldn't even understand human speech. How had he ended up surrounded by a whole crowd of dark-faced, violent people?
