Blurb:
A cool, aloof, temperamental, stone-faced cutie bottom vs. a fierce, domineering, goofy, fluffy-stuff-loving top
Chu Zhaoshuang, a celebrated general of Great Wei, had never lost a fight, but had never won an argument at court.
One day at morning court, the Imperial Preceptor declared, "Your fate holds neither marriage nor children." Chu was promptly broken off, flew into a rage, and gave the man a tongue-lashing, only to be scolded so thoroughly that he lost the exchange.
He returned home in disgrace and found a white cat along the way. Overjoyed, he took it in.
To show how much he treasured the cat, General Chu signed a cat adoption contract with all the proper matchmakers and betrothal gifts. He doted on it endlessly.
Every day, after returning from another defeat at court, one sniff of the cat was enough to bring him back to full strength.
By comparison, Chu Yan thought the demon Taoist was increasingly vicious and heartless, while his own cat was soft, adorable, and so lovable that he wanted to tuck it into his pocket and hold it in his arms for kisses every day.
Until one day, the cat disappeared.
The General's residence was plastered with missing-cat notices.
Two months later, Chu Yan had searched everywhere for the jade token without success. He turned around and saw the Imperial Preceptor casually moving the cat's bed aside, then reaching with practiced ease into a hidden compartment beside his bed to retrieve the token. He looked up coolly. "Here."
Chu Yan: "..."
Chu Yan: "?!"
☆☆
The beautiful Imperial Preceptor Li Yu was trusted by the new emperor, revered by the officials, and supported by the people. He was the one person in Great Wei no one dared to offend.
In the eyes of the world, he was ethereal and strikingly handsome, cold as frost. Wherever he went, people avoided crossing him.
Everyone except Chu Yan.
Li Yu had a pair of passionless eyes, always exuding cold distance, and an innate air of superiority. Whenever Li Yu raised an eyelid, Chu Yan felt like he was being insulted.
Li Yu was exhausted. All he wanted was to flatten himself into a cat treat and curl up in the courtyard to sunbathe and sleep.
But as Imperial Preceptor, he had to get up early for court every single day.
Already irritable from lack of sleep, he was further annoyed when the noisy Chu Zhaoshuang insisted on coming over to bother him. Li Yu was tired and temperamental.
Who could have guessed that after all their bickering, on a dark and stormy night, this man would show up with a jar of wine and force a kiss on him?
Li Yu was shocked. His cat ears took ages to press back down. The man wrapped an arm around his slender waist, nuzzling and teasing his damp, fluffy ears. His voice was soft with a playful laugh. "Li Yu, you're the cat I married with all the proper matchmakers and betrothal gifts."
Clinging to him, Li Yu cursed in mortified anger, "You scoundrel."
He was terrible at holding his liquor!
In the night, the man's dark eyes were perfectly clear, not the least bit drunk. He rubbed the tail wrapped tightly around his wrist and spoke with burning intensity. "Let this scoundrel have one more kiss, won't you?"
[Extra Scene]
Chu Yan: My little carp rubs noses with me on his own!
Li Yu: That man forces a kiss on me every day. What a lecher.
Chu Yan: My little carp wags his tail whenever he sees me. The closer I get, the harder he wags it. Ah, he loves me so much!
Li Yu: Annoying.
Chu Yan: My little carp loves stretching out all four paws and showing me his fluffy little belly! He likes me so much. Every time, he lies there obediently and waits for me to cuddle him.
The Imperial Preceptor, who had been sleeping happily before someone buried his face in his belly: ...
General Chu in the eyes of the officials: Gets scolded at court and beaten at home. Ever since he got a cat, he's had more and more injuries...
[Highlights]
1. The leads are both physically and emotionally pure. The "betrothal" at the beginning will be explained later, and neither party has feelings for the other at that point. The characters are all adorable, with no messy drama.
2. The perspective serves the plot, and the plot serves the romance. They dote on each other, both are strong, misunderstandings never last past the next chapter, and the pacing is brisk.
3. Sweet 1v1 romance, handsome top and beautiful bottom. The bottom won't stay a cat forever.
4. No drunken sexual assault. He's just a coward who needs booze to work up his nerve. Read the story for details.

Official Title: Fictional Star Tracks
[Cold, celibate O pretending to be an A commander bottom vs. a smooth-talking, play-the-pig-to-eat-the-tiger, scheming dog top]
Shen Xi, the number-one commander in the interstellar world, was cold and celibate, with an iron-fisted style. She was an untouchable beauty, pursued by countless people who would devote their entire lives to her.
One day, while she was out, a mission target rushed up to her. He was a young Alpha with fair skin and black hair. His smile was as adorable as a chocolate-filled pastry, and his beautiful, deep emerald eyes were as tranquil and profound as a lake, impossible to forget.
The young man waved vigorously, the handcuffs in his hands flashing silver. "Commander! Would you come with me? I'll pick up scrap to support you!"
"…"
A cold, dead silence.
The commander looked down at him impassively and offered no response.
Everyone was waiting to collect the young man's corpse.
At the A04 maximum-security prison, the young man held the commander tightly in his arms, his voice low and hoarse. "You heartless little thing, you just left without a word."
Then he hugged him tighter, trembling as he gently kissed his cold fingertips again and again.
Shen Xi's sweat-damp face was buried against the young man's collarbone, his eyes lowered, long lashes dusted with snow.
The young man said again, "Little cat, I've missed you so much."
Ten years ago, Zhu Yan happened to pass by General Shen's residence and rescued a kitten from a fire.
The Shen family's cats were famous for being difficult and troublesome.
Zhu Yan told the kitten, "The Shen family is gone now. From here on, you need to learn to be less spoiled and impatient. Come on, today I'll teach you how to pick up scrap."
He became a father at a very young age. Whenever Zhu Yan went out to collect scrap, he had to hang a baby bottle on his chest, tuck the cat into his arms, and stuff dried fish into his pockets.
Later, the cat in his arms was gone.
He didn't look for it.
Zhu Yan had kept a secret in his heart for thirteen whole years.
He thought he could keep it for the rest of his life.
But looking at the commander in his arms, covered in wounds yet stubbornly refusing to accept his pheromones, Zhu Yan sighed.
It seemed he couldn't keep it hidden anymore.
His little cat had been taking terrible care of himself.
