I Picked Up a Cat Lord on My Way Out

Lord Cat is proudest of two things. First, he's the world's best cat, always there to comfort his human in every possible way. Second, he found himself the very best human. Then one day, Lord Cat realized he'd fallen for his human. It was like thunder on a clear day: Lord Cat was no longer proud to be the world's best cat! The human he's had a crush on for ten years sits back with a bag of dried fish, waiting for Lord Cat to take the bait! Sharp-tongued top when in a bad mood x a white-and-orange cat bottom who's not what he seems Currently serializing: The Regent and the Imperial Tutor Are an Item 1. Corrupting Influences Chu Jing, the Regent, is broke despite his outwardly splendid appearance, and buried in debt to boot. The Regent doesn't care. Looking splendid is still being splendid! Until he learns the astronomical sum he owes the Imperial Tutor. The Regent... The Regent stays calm as ever, stroking his chin as he considers the possibility of skipping out on the debt. After all, he's been poisoned with a gu and won't live long. What can Jing Wu do if he dodges the debt? The Imperial Tutor... The Imperial Tutor is busy trying to find an antidote for the Regent... Have you no shame at all!! 2. A Little More Serious The Regent's father, the little emperor's grandfather, was a decadent spendthrift who threw money around like water. At last, he kicked the bucket and went to his grave with his beloved grave goods, leaving the uncle and nephew with treasuries big enough to race horses in, and IOUs piled high as snow... Chu Jing faces one crisis after another, guarding against people trying to usurp the throne, raising a child, and earning money to pay off debts, all at once! The Regent learns that life can be as hard as trying to pluck stars on foot! At last, the internal rebellion is mostly quelled and the little emperor grows up. Just when the Regent thinks things are finally going to get easier, he discovers that the little emperor has grown into a clingy child who still can't wean himself!! The Regent's wet nurse props her chin on her hand, wondering where her harsh-discipline approach went wrong. Little Emperor: “My uncle is the best. Everything he says is right. He loves me the most.” Regent: “...No. I love the Imperial Tutor the most.” The little emperor is horrified and wipes away a tear. “I want to jump out the window, boohoo!” These days, being an uncle is hard, being a regent is hard, and being both an uncle and a regent is even harder.
