[Tender, scheming, devoted emperor top who is obsessed with fluffy things x sweet, lively, not-too-bright tiger bottom]
A car accident sent Yu Yan, who had just gotten into college, transmigrating to ancient times.
The good news: He was still alive.
The bad news: He had transmigrated into the body of a wild tiger cub.
The moment he stood by the lake and saw his reflection in the water, Yu Yan's face turned to despair, and he promptly dropped to the ground with a thump.
You see, in ancient times, tigers were plentiful. They weren't a protected species, and anyone who managed to hunt one could even be considered to have done the people a favor.
Other people transmigrated into emperors or great generals. How come he couldn't even be a person?
As Yu Yan gazed at the sky and lamented his unfair fate, a powerful tiger's roar sounded nearby, and he immediately scampered in the opposite direction.
Help, help, help! There's a tiger!
Yu Yan fled in panic and ran to a path in the woods.
A crowd of people stood packed along the road. Yu Yan quietly hid behind some bushes to eavesdrop, and what he heard was astonishing.
The handsome man at the head of the group was none other than the current emperor.
With a sexual orientation that wasn't exactly straight, Yu Yan's eyes widened as he stared at the man. He couldn't help thinking: The emperor of this era is so handsome. He's exactly my dream lover!
If I hadn't turned into a tiger, but a fox instead, maybe I could've reenacted Daji's story!
Yu Yan, imagining himself as a fox spirit, happily began daydreaming about his future blissful life with the emperor of his dreams.
He was so caught up in the best part of his fantasy that he let out a little laugh. The next moment, a sharp shout rang out beside him: "Who's there!"
Startled, Yu Yan slipped and tumbled down the hillside.
"Awooo..." That hurt!
Yu Yan sat up from the ground, dazed and looking terribly aggrieved.
"Your Majesty, it's a tiger."
"Drive it off."
With one casual sentence, the man decided what would happen to the little tiger before him.
Not wanting to wander the woods, Yu Yan's little brain whirred into action. He quickly showed his belly and started acting cute to beg for adoption.
I'm not really a tiger, I'm a fox! I just had a genetic mutation and happened to end up looking a little unlike a fox!
Please, keep me! Keep me! I'm very well-behaved. I absolutely won't eat people!
"...Never mind. Bring it here so I can have a look."
And so, thanks to one impulsive display of outgoingness, Yu Yan managed to secure the status of imperial pet.
With his cute appearance, Yu Yan was showered with the emperor's affection in the days that followed. His tiger life had reached its peak.
One day, after court, Emperor Xiao Jingzhi returned to his chambers, intending to find his beloved pet and give him a good rub. But instead, he found a handsome young man with delicate features sitting on his dragon bed.
The young man wore the emperor's robe and copied his imposing manner, speaking with a solemn face: "I am the Great King, Heaven's Chosen, the Lord of Black Forest Mountain's battlefield, King of the Tiger Pack, A Xiao! Mere mortals, how dare you not hurry down on your knees... Ow! Stop pinching my face!"
