The day Miao Ying was brought back to the Lu family, her mother's dying warning still rang in her ears.
“Don't let anyone in the Lu family find out you can talk to animals.”
So she kept her head down and played the part of a meek, timid country girl born out of wedlock. Her stepmother was a hypocrite, her sister was haughty, and her father was cold. No one paid her any attention. But nobody knew that every animal in the house was her eyes and ears.
A black cat exposed her stepmother's affair, while a parrot revealed that her sister's engagement was already dead in all but name... She held everyone's secrets in her hands, and her disguise was flawless.
There was only one person who remained a blind spot in her intelligence network.
Jin Huaixu, the heir to the Jin family who was supposed to marry her sister. He looked at her as if he recognized someone like himself.
“Miss Miao,” he said beneath the moonlight, a cigarette between his lips and amusement in his eyes, like a hunter offering an invitation. “Would you consider pretending to be my girlfriend?”
They each got what they wanted, for six months.
She thought she was using him to rise in the world. He thought he was using her to get out of an arranged marriage.
Until supernatural chaos swept across the city, and the two people who could both talk to animals found themselves on opposite sides of the scales. One chose to protect her at all costs; the other chose to protect all living things.
The couple under contract went their separate ways.
And on the day he returned to her side, with the wind howling on the rooftop, he draped his coat over her shoulders. “Don't get the wrong idea. Our contract hasn't expired yet.”

《What Is the System Barking About Today?》 (See the author's profile for details.) Add it to your favorites if you're interested. Expected to launch in December ✨
I transmigrated to the 1970s and waited three days for the System to show up. It never did.
On the fourth day, the big yellow dog at the village entrance barked at me three times, and a voice rang out in my head.
“System binding successful. Agent: Big Yellow. Please interpret your missions yourself.”
From then on, my daily routine was figuring out what the dog wanted, finding meat for it, and being watched by the whole village for “talking to a dog.”
Eventually, the whole village thought I had a divine hound. Only I knew it was a useless dog with the wrong System bound to it.
Later, a bespectacled young man from the commune veterinary station started coming to my house every day, claiming he was there to give the dog a checkup.
I think he actually wants to give me one!
Theme: Wear a disguise, but act without fear.
