Reborn as My Archrival's Kitten

On the night of Jiang Ruan's birthday, someone shoved her into a lotus pond.

When she woke up, she had become the cat raised by her archenemy, Lu Yan!

Even more astonishingly, Lu Yan, who always bickered with her whenever they met, was heartbroken as he held her corpse.

Jiang Ruan: "...Meow!"

What was going on?!

Later, Jiang Ruan watched Lu Yan become the laughingstock of all Chang'an because he wanted to marry her, a cat.

She watched him risk offending his imperial uncle and making an enemy of the imperial family just to help her get revenge.

With no way to repay him, Jiang Ruan had no choice but to keep her heart perfectly proper, put on her sweet, adorable face, and throw all shame aside to act innocent and cute in front of Lu Yan. She mastered every trick in the book, from massaging his legs to kneading his shoulders.

She thought she would have to spend the rest of her life as a cat, until one day she missed a step, fell through the roof into Lu Yan's bath, and turned back into a human...

From then on, Lu Yan looked at her differently...
