Bai Li, once the White Tiger Divine Lord who guarded the Boundary Gate, is now a tiny gray-and-white tabby kitten.
A palm-sized little fluffball, with pink paw pads that couldn't even pin down a grasshopper,
he nearly got grabbed by a bratty child and thrown into a stew.
Xie Xuan, passing by, tossed down a silver ingot and scooped up the cat along with the pot. "Ten taels of silver. This cat is mine!"
Bai Li sat on the boy's shoulder, licking his paw. He thought, You saved me. I'll help you rise to the top.
He entered the boy's dreams with his divine soul, helping him dispel the cold poison, shed his mortal body, avenge his blood feud, and ascend to the heavens.
But for some reason, the boy in his dreams began looking at him in increasingly strange ways.
In a warm, soft bedchamber, Bai Li, with silver hair and golden eyes, hooked a finger into the boy's black hair and pulled back the one trying to escape.
The silver-haired, big-cat divine lord tilted his head in confusion. "Why are you running?"
High schooler Xie Xuan was suddenly transported into the body of the young master of the Xie family in the City of Eternal Night. He rode in fine clothes, and even the three feet of ice in the Northern Frontier melted for him.
When he was sixteen, black karmic flames devoured the entire city.
He crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with nothing left in his arms but a gray-and-white kitten.
The boy's tears of blood fell into the kitten's golden eyes, and he heard himself say:
"Little Kitty, I only have you now."
By day, Xie Xuan fled with the cat in his arms, talking to it and giving all his tenderness and vulnerability to the warm little creature.
At night, he trained in his dreams under the silver-haired, golden-eyed divine lord, giving all his longing and desire to that untouchable figure.
What he didn't know was that the cat and the divine lord were one and the same.
One late night, Xie Xuan buried his face in the cat's belly and murmured the desire he'd been suppressing:
"I want the moon... The kind that shines for me alone."
The next morning,
the cat in his arms was gone, and a silver-haired, golden-eyed beauty was beside his pillow: the very person he was supposed to call Master.
Xie Xuan: "…"
Xie Xuan ran off without even putting on his shoes.
He ended up tripping straight into the arms of a certain silver-haired divine lord.
Bai Li held Xie Xuan by the waist and twirled one of his black strands around a finger. "The day before yesterday you kissed the cat. Yesterday you said you wanted to kiss your Master. Today..."
The silver-haired divine lord leaned closer, their noses almost touching. "Who do you want to kiss?"
