Popular actress Wen Ruo loses her footing and falls off the stage. When she opens her eyes again, she has become a soft, fluffy white cat.
After two days on the streets, she is picked up by a rich young woman carrying a limited-edition Kelly bag and driving a Porsche Cayenne.
When Huo Jianxiao first sees Wen Ruo, he coldly eyes the long-haired animal his younger sister has brought home.
"Wherever you found it, take it back there."
Kitty won't take no for an answer.
Kitty starts casting a spell.
First, she flops down at his feet and rubs her fluffy little head against his ankle.
Second, she kneads his solid biceps with her short, chubby paws.
That very night, Wen Ruo brazenly sleeps in the bed of the top predator, nestled in the crook of his neck as his long fingers gently stroke her belly and chin.
One day, during a video conference with the company, Huo Jianxiao sits in a neat shirt buttoned up to the collar. Less than twenty minutes into the meeting, a round cat head suddenly pops up beside the desk, emerging from the CEO's arms.
He reaches out and scoops the cat back onto his lap. "Carry on."
The cat tries to poke her head out several times during the meeting.
Each time just the tip of her head slowly emerges from under the desk, he gently presses her back down.
The kitten objects, tilting her head up to meow softly at him.
Huo Jianxiao rubs her head. "Be good, Rourou."
Before long, Huo Jianxiao's reputation across the company changes from "the abstinent god of wealth" to "the childless cat lover."
The childless cat lover's photo album is full of ugly pictures of his kitty.
When he's away on business for three days, he hires someone to feed her every day and still insists on video calls, asking the camera, "Does Rourou miss Daddy?"
An employee on the trip overhears and thinks: Wow, rich people are really something.

One morning, as usual, a man and a cat are sharing the bed.
Huo Jianxiao is still half asleep when he reaches out to grab the cat, but his fingertips touch something other than familiar fur.
Warm, delicate, soft.
A young woman is sprawled on top of him, her round eyes wide open. Cat ears stand out from her hair, and her tail is wound nervously around his wrist.
Huo Jianxiao's brain takes just three seconds to shut down before accepting the truth.
After getting used to raising a kitten, he carries on with the same habits when raising a catgirl.
When he's working, his arms feel empty.
Without thinking, he says, "Rourou, come here to Daddy."
By the time he realizes what he said and starts feeling awkward, the soft, cuddly catgirl has already nestled in his arms. When he gets up, she clings to him.
He prepares a meal for his kitten, peeling each cooked shrimp and feeding it to her.
Oh, right, you're human.
Rourou: Bad human!
Worried that the kitten might not know how to use the toilet after turning human, Huo Jianxiao peeks through the crack in the door.
Wen Ruo the catgirl: ! Pervert!
Once again, they're caught in a dangerous, ambiguous moment. The air grows warm, their breaths mingle.
At the crucial moment, his arms are suddenly empty.
A cat is sitting on his lap, looking at him with her head tilted and the tip of her tail swaying lazily.
"...Rourou?"
"Meow."
Later, Huo Jianxiao wraps an arm around the waist of the catgirl who has turned human again. Distractedly stroking her smooth skin beneath his palm, he asks in a low voice, still shaken, "You won't turn back into a cat again, will you?"
