1.
When Zhou Yuan opened his eyes, all he remembered from the book was the male lead, who slaughtered everyone in his path.
His true form was an ancient spirit beast, shaped like a black panther. The original owner was the head of the foremost immortal sect, and spent his entire life trying to tame the beast, only to end up with a ruined body.
As Zhou Yuan came back to his senses, he realized there was a fluffy black ball lying beside him.
He poked it twice, and the ball of fur suddenly opened its eyes and glared at him!
Seeing how pitiful the little kitten looked, and realizing they were both all alone, Zhou Yuan immediately adopted it on the spot!

To protect himself and the little ball of fur from the corrupted male lead, the two stuck together without ever leaving each other's side. Wherever Zhou Yuan went, he carried the other one like a precious treasure.
Thus, the disciples of the sect watched with their own eyes as their aloof, frosty immortal lord took a kitten everywhere with him, whether he was eating, washing up, or going to bed.

Every night at midnight.
Ying Wulan looked at the young man beside him, holding him protectively in his arms.
So this was the human he was bound to after being reborn?
So frail he looked like he could break with a touch. Hmph.
Not even remotely comparable to his true form. Hah.
In his sleep, Zhou Yuan felt the little beast on him trampling his stomach over and over. Without opening his eyes, he pulled the furry ball into his arms.
The black kitten angrily poked its head out from his embrace and hissed in fury. But when it saw the other man's elegant, sleeping face, it could only bury its head back against his neck, still fuming.

Several months later, Zhou Yuan woke in the middle of the night and was horrified to find a black panther, bigger than he was, crouching beside him!
Its coat gleamed jet black, its pupils sharp in the darkness, and one of its claws rested on his hair.
Then Zhou Yuan realized in shock...
Wait... where was his cat? QAQ!?
The black panther slowly stood up. Its body was sturdy and powerful, with a sleek, streamlined shape. It flicked its long tail around Zhou Yuan's ankle, then leaned against his side, pressed tightly against him.
It was sleeping in exactly the same position as the little kitten.
Zhou Yuan: ...
F-furball?
5.
In the immortal lord's room. On the bed.
Ying Wulan lazily rested one beast's paw on Zhou Yuan's shoulder, his long tail curled around Zhou Yuan's waist. In a low voice, he said, "When you were little, you held me every night when you went to sleep. Why don't you anymore?"
Zhou Yuan blushed. "But you... you're so big now..."
His waist and legs ached from the weight, everything hurt, and he couldn't even push him away!
As soon as he finished speaking, the black panther before him suddenly transformed into a tall, handsome man.
Ying Wulan propped his arms beside him and said in a husky voice, "Now you can hold me, right?"
