After transmigrating, veterinarian Lin Luming has no money to her name. The only ones who came with her are the cats she raised.
With no place to call home and living on borrowed money, she has no choice but to work as manager at the teahouse opened by Xie Yan, the man who saved her, to help cover expenses.
The pay isn't much, but where else can she find a boss who provides room and board and lets her keep cats?
She never expected these cats to cause a sensation across Zhongzhou. The rich and powerful book appointments by lottery just for a glimpse of the cats.
Yet one man never has to queue.
Xie Yan: Not just this shop, the manager belongs to my family too.
Healing animals and finding them homes is her original intention. Becoming a tycoon is an accident.
Xie Yan is a notorious playboy known far and wide. He often swaggers around with a myna bird, and is skilled at gambling and hunting.
Everyone says he'll never pass the imperial exams, so he might as well give up studying altogether. But one day, while hunting, he loses his way in the forest chasing a deer and stumbles upon a stunningly beautiful woman.
And five cats who are extremely unfriendly toward him.
He only wanted a wife for his teahouse, so becoming a successful candidate in the imperial examinations is an unexpected bonus.
Notes:
No angst, sweet romance, business-building.
Both leads are pet tycoons, with cats, dogs, and parrots.
Responsible pet care, no training wild animals. The setting is ancient times, and neutering is entirely optional. Please don't nitpick.
A series set in the same world. The previous installment is My Dear Paper Doll Prince (currently updating), and the one before that is The Split-Personality Marquis's Wife Is Rich Beyond Measure (coming soon, available to add to your reading list).
Theme: Love should be equal and built on mutual respect and trust. Women should be self-reliant.
