[Sharp-tongued but soft-hearted woman x cute creature pretending to be harmless while hiding its true nature, lighthearted everyday romance]

What will Dr. Duan do when the adorable capybara she happened to bring home turns out to have layers upon layers of secret identities?

Duan Langran is a workaholic. Her job as a therapist keeps her busy, she rarely socializes, and she has no interest in keeping pets. Yet in her twenties, she suddenly brought home a capybara.

Cheng Xiaoman is a capybara spirit she picked up. He's adorably dazed, and no matter what happens, his temper melts like cream.

Duan Langran thought they would always remain owner and pet, but one day, she discovered Cheng Xiaoman's secret.

"Cheng Xiaoman, if that's how it is, I can't let you stay in this house any longer. You have to leave."

"So you really do despise me..."

"No, I don't despise you now. I'm afraid of you. I'm human, and you're a powerful spirit. How am I supposed to know you aren't plotting something against me?"

When Cheng Xiaoman was picked up by Duan Langran, he had only five years of memories left.

He admitted that he had deliberately approached Duan Langran, because something about her carried the scent of his memories.

And because this human was beautiful.

He wanted to stay by her side for the rest of his life.

To keep her from getting suspicious, Cheng Xiaoman gave her a perfectly reasonable explanation: as soon as he found his lost memories, he would leave.

But once he really did recover his memories and powers, everything he remembered from the past made it impossible to hide his feelings. He wanted nothing more than to use his spiritual powers to lock Duan Langran in the house.

But when he saw her eyes, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Do you really... really not like me?"

When he first came to live with Duan Langran, Cheng Xiaoman was always asking, "Dr. Duan, you won't abandon me, will you?"

Back then, Duan Langran thought he was just a child, so she comforted him like one. "I won't get rid of you."

Years later, with his strength restored to its peak, Cheng Xiaoman took Duan Langran's hand of his own accord. "Duan Langran, I'm telling you this seriously: I want to be with you forever."

"Calling me by my name now? Where are your manners?"

"I'm not younger than you anymore... Besides, didn't I give you your name?"
