Exclusive pairing, one-on-one.
Yun Xi was an abandoned little black cat.
Like other cats, it wanted to adopt a human. But it was tiny, so hungry that you could feel every bone, black as soot, with one leg crippled from being beaten. It was timid and didn't dare approach people.
On a cold Halloween night, Yun Xi listened to the jingling songs that drifted by now and then, curled up weakly in a corner. It was close to starving to death.
In the faint light, a tall man stepped out of a car. His eyes were deep-set, his irises a rare shade of gray. He wore a finely tailored suit, and his wrist bones stood out, strong and prominent. Holding a cane, he casually pointed at someone. That person was forced to their knees and dragged away.
Yun Xi didn't understand what had happened, but it caught the smell of blood on the man.
In its childish innocence, Yun Xi wondered if the man was going to die too.
A tiny, weightless ball of black fur collapsed on the man's leather shoe.
Viperis glanced at the little black cat, barely clinging to life.
Under the frightened gazes of his subordinates, his broad hand picked up the cat.
-
The head of the Felix family, an old-money dynasty with deep roots and immense power in Europe, had brought home a little black cat with a limp.
He hired the best doctors to treat it, even bid as much as a billion for jewelry for the kitten to play with, and casually gave it an entire castle to use for hide-and-seek.
He had gone mad. Absolutely mad.
People in their circle all thought these stories were fake. Viperis had never even spared a glance for such weak, pitiful creatures. He seemed like a refined gentleman, but beneath the surface was nothing but the arrogance and disdain of someone in power.
Until Yun Xi's birthday party.
The elite gathered in droves, all to celebrate the birthday of Viperis Felix's little cat.
A black cat like a tiny ball of soot nestled in the arms of its tall, powerful owner, its fur smooth as silk. A custom-made ribbon worth tens of millions was tied around its slightly crooked leg, and its pale blue eyes were bright and soft as a lake.
The cat impatiently swatted Viperis across the face.
It meowed and meowed at him.
Viperis had clearly understood. Uncharacteristically gentle, he set the cat down from the crook of his arm. "Come back on time. If you're not obedient, you'll be punished."
"Meow! Kitty knows! Kitty won't abandon its human!"
-
The moment Yun Xi woke up, it had turned human. It decided to surprise its human!
But its human seemed to have everything he could want, except a wife.
Where could Yun Xi find Viperis a wife? It tilted its little head, unable to think of anything, then climbed into the powerful man's bed and soon fell fast asleep.
The castle servants anxiously searched everywhere for the cat.
In the end, the tall man found his little cat in his own bed.
A dark-haired youth lay curled up, a red mark pressed into his fair cheek from sleeping. His soft cat ears twitched now and then, and his black tail wound around his body, leaving red marks on his somewhat plump thighs.
Half-asleep, Yun Xi realized its human had come back.
Its voice was muffled and drowsy, like it was whining affectionately. "Human, kitty wants to be your wife!"
-
Yun Xi thought being a wife was so tiring.
As a Westerner, the man's frame was broad.
Yun Xi had been a little black cat, and even after turning human, it was still slender and delicate.
But the man only coaxed it. He never stopped.
Yun Xi cried until the tip of its nose turned red. "Human, kitty doesn't want to be your wife anymore!"
The man laughed softly. "Then I'll still be your daddy, your master."
