[Catnip x Cat]
[I'm terrible at writing blurbs. The story is always better.]
Nan Xi is a catnip spirit who transmigrates into a book and becomes a scandal-ridden young actress who won’t leave movie star Pei Mushi alone.
When she transmigrated into the book, the original owner had just gone to great lengths to join a livestreamed dating show.
Pei Mushi is aloof, quiet, and keeps away from women. In his ten years since debut, he has never been involved in a scandal.
Countless netizens are waiting to watch Nan Xi make a fool of herself.
But the moment Pei Mushi sees Nan Xi, the tips of his ears turn red. His beautiful eyes pretend to be indifferent, yet keep glancing her way.
Netizens: ???
Why isn’t this going the way we imagined?
Not long after the livestream begins...
Nan Xi cooks. Pei Mushi looks haughty, as if he couldn't care less.
But once they sit down to eat, his gaze turns hazy and he looks completely entranced: Mmm, food flavored with catnip is so delicious!
The guests exchange handmade gifts. Pei Mushi furrows his brows and looks picky.
But behind closed doors, he rolls around on his bed clutching the doll Nan Xi made, his face full of happiness and delight.
During a two-person interaction game, Pei Mushi keeps his mouth shut and looks cold.
But when Nan Xi raises her hand, he immediately nudges his head against her palm, which smells of catnip.
The internet explodes: Weren't you supposed to keep away from women?!
Everyone online wants to know if this is scripted, so the production team stages a surprise visit to prove it isn't...
The cold, difficult, hugely popular movie star tugs at the hem of Nan Xi's clothes, the tips of his ears flushed red as he says the softest words:
"Let me smell you. Just once."
Netizens: Is this something I can watch for free?!

Nan Xi is sweet and sassy, and has the talent to back it up. Her popularity skyrockets, nearly reaching A-list status, while fans of their CP become completely obsessed and beg for more every day.
Everyone thinks the two have naturally gotten together, and Pei Mushi thinks so too.
But one day, a host asks Nan Xi, "How long have you two been together?"
Nan Xi: "We're not together."
Pei Mushi's face instantly darkens. Backstage, he confronts her: "Do you know that I like you?"
Nan Xi nods. "Of course. All cats like me."
Pei Mushi: "That's not the same!"
...Wait, explain this to me. You don't have another cat, do you?!

[At first, the heroine doesn't see the hero as a man. She thinks of him as just one of the cats who has submitted beneath her (not like that).]
[The hero is a cat demon and can't resist catnip.]
[The hero turns into a cat, and the heroine gets to pet him.]
