After I Became the Kitten My Archrival Picked Up

Also known as Falling in Love After Starting with My Love-Hate Rival

A sweet winter treat

Clingy, scheming cat-like bottom x gentle, hopeless romantic top

Jiang Mu wakes up one day as a stray kitten picked up by his nemesis, Gu Qianhuai. He needs to rack up affection points to return to normal. After terminating his contract with his company, he applies for a job at Gu Qianhuai's pet cafe and finds all sorts of ways to get close to him.

When Jiang Mu tries to make peace during the day, Gu Qianhuai gives him the cold shoulder and refuses to reconcile.

When Jiang Mu turns into a cat at night, Gu Qianhuai thinks, My own kitten is still the cutest, and takes the opportunity to complain about his nemesis, blah blah blah.

The kitten gets angry and scratches him.

On his first day at work, he provokes the boss, then holds hands with him.

The employees: So the handsome new guy and our boss are a couple! (They make a group chat to ship them.)

On his second day, a matchmaking mix-up leads the elders to think they're dating.

Both families: The more casual they act, the more suspicious it is. Let's not bother them and let them take their time. (They make a group chat to discuss it.)

Later on.

To seduce someone, Jiang Mu pretends to be drunk and lures him onto the sofa, then gets carried away himself...

Gu Qianhuai: What are we?

Jiang Mu (thinking: He just likes sleeping with me): We're close friends.

Gu: ...

After realizing Jiang Mu likes him, he thinks, Forget it. It's a husband's duty to indulge his clueless wife.
