Both leads are virgins ★ The hero wins back his wife after a long pursuit ★ They save each other ★ Willingly becoming someone's one and only

The heroine's name comes from the Du Ruo flower.

Pampered, spoiled, lovesick kitten x scheming foodie, peak-strength husband-material master

When Du Ruo opens her eyes again, she discovers she's been sent off to cultivate immortality.

But it ends before it even begins. Du Ruo watches as a group of men in black carry away her corpse, and feels relieved.

Good news: Hey, she's not dead! Bad news: She's turned into a cat.

Even better news: A handsome young man named Xie Tingyun has taken her in.

Du Ruo gradually falls under Xie Tingyun's spell. Whenever she sees that tender, heartbroken look he gives her, she can't help but feel ecstatic. It feels so good.

Dark thoughts take root. She wants to make this gentle young man hers alone, to keep him for herself.

But who would have guessed that this young man isn't so harmless either?

Du Ruo starts ordering Xie Tingyun around, but no matter how harsh she gets, he never gets angry. He just hides away with red-rimmed eyes, looking so wronged. The moment Du Ruo calls for him, though, he appears at once.

Until the day the truth comes out. Xie Tingyun offers no excuses, and Du Ruo agrees to leave.

Afterward, just as Du Ruo expected, Xie Tingyun searches every mountain and river for her.

Du Ruo thought she had Xie Tingyun wrapped around her finger, but it turns out this young man's heart is even darker than hers.

That night, Xie Tingyun backs Du Ruo into a corner step by step.

"This isn't right. Wait a minute! Give me back my gentle young man!"

Content warning: The heroine doesn't fall in love with the hero right away. At first, she half-jokingly says she'll abduct him and bring him home: partly to amuse the original body's owner, and partly because it's a fantasy of her own. She only wants to keep him for herself after she realizes she truly loves him! The heroine is a little yandere, but she's perfectly normal around strangers and usually pretends to be a normal person. She won't reveal her extreme side easily!

The hero has an ordinary personality. He's the typical sort who treats people according to their status, and he's very good at pretending!
