Story blurb:

Mei Tang had been frail since childhood. When she was seventeen, the mother who had taken her in passed away.

With nowhere else to turn, she sold herself into service at the Lu residence.

Instead, the master of the Lu family arranged for her to marry into the Li family in place of his daughter.

Rumor had it that the eldest young master of the Li family had a face like a demon and an eccentric disposition.

He suffered from a hidden ailment and was very difficult to get along with.

Mei Tang carefully hid her identity and kept her head down, but one day she caught a whiff of an alluring, cool fragrance.

She secretly took a few extra breaths. Huh? She felt so much more energetic!

Mei Tang's little nose twitched, and before she knew it, she had pressed herself against the eldest young master's chest.

Li Zhang looked down coldly at his petite, delicate wife in his arms.

He stared at her for a while, his brows slowly drawing together.

Why hadn't he felt sick yet, even after all this time?

Could it be that she was special to him?

His gaze toward Mei Tang grew complicated.

-

The Li family was a famous, wealthy merchant family in Shuzhou, with a fortune beyond measure.

The eldest young master, Li Zhang, was eighteen. He had a volatile temper and wore a demon mask all day long.

Rumor had it that he was hideously ugly and suffered from a hidden ailment, which was why he kept his distance from women.

Not long ago, he had married the Lu family's daughter.

No one had expected that the haughty young master,

would indulge his new bride in every possible way.

At night, Li Zhang sat Mei Tang on his lap and taught her to read and write.

Mei Tang pointed at the open erotic painting and asked with an innocent expression, “Husband, what is this?”

Li Zhang's gaze darkened slightly, but he didn't answer.

“Does Tangtang like it?”

“No, it's so ugly.”

“...”

Li Zhang sighed inwardly. Her innocence made him seem far too lecherous.

But then one night, after he had just finished bathing,

the young woman, her pretty face flushed and her waist swaying gracefully, took the initiative to embrace him.

In a soft voice, she asked, “Husband, can I have another sniff? Please.”

Li Zhang's whole body went rigid, but the young woman buried her face in his chest and let out a low, muffled sound,

like... a cat purring.

...Could someone tell him

what exactly she was sniffing?

Mei Tang, who had discovered she was actually a cat demon:

“It's so fragrant, so fragrant!”

One sniff gives you a boost,

two make you feel unstoppable,

keep sniffing and you'll keep feeling great, mrrp!

One day, in bed,

she got so excited that her cat tail popped out.

Her big, fluffy tail gave the young master a sharp smack across his handsome face.

Mei Tang's pupils shook. “...Husband, hear me out.”

Li Zhang's face darkened. He ordered coldly, “Come here. Let me touch your tail.”

Oh no, she couldn't keep her cat secret identity hidden anymore!
