The Chief Minister’s Little Wildcat

Zheng Rulan has a secret: every night after she falls asleep, she enters the body of a cat. Her owner is none other than Wei Chuming, the capricious chief minister. That night, she curled up sleepily on his lap. As his fingertips gently stroked her chin, she purred in comfort. Wei Chuming was making arrangements for the grand ceremony. He glanced down at the little creature in his arms and suddenly said, “Looks like Xue’er is sleepy. We’ll discuss this tomorrow.” Everyone in the realm knew that the chief minister kept a cat in his residence. Its fur was whiter than snow, and it was so adored that it outranked many a noble young lady. Then one day, the cat suddenly disappeared, and the entire capital of Shengjing was thrown into turmoil. Zheng Rulan knew far too much. To avoid being killed to silence her, she carefully kept her secret identity under wraps. Later, the chief minister had a pair of fluffy cat ears made somewhere and had the women of Shengjing try them on one by one. Zheng Rulan: ... What kind of madness was this! ◆ The female lead is easygoing, not a naive innocent. This is a purely sweet romance. ◆ The setting is very loosely based on history, with open-minded customs and a mix of dynasties. Please don’t nitpick. Theme:
