Repaying My Nemesis by Being a Cat in Their Home

Pre-release: My Younger Puppy Keeps Teasing Me

↓↓↓↓ Synopsis ↓↓↓↓

As a top-tier star who debuted through a talent competition, Li Xuanzhou was willful, headstrong, and used to doing whatever he pleased. Just as his career was about to reach new heights after his group disbanded...

His transformation spell suddenly failed, turning him back into an utterly ordinary little black cat.

To protect his career, Li Xuanzhou had no choice but to swallow his pride and go to the home of his former archenemy, award-winning actor Lu Yuan, to repay his kindness as a cat.

Li Xuanzhou: What a hassle.

But looking at Lu Yuan, who had been driven out of his wealthy family and was now penniless, plagued by scandals, and cursed with the ability to attract ghosts and monsters...

Li Xuanzhou: ...That's rough.

Since they'd both once been top-tier stars, he sheathed his claws, hid his secret identity, and struck a deal with Lu Yuan. He used the opportunity to work as Lu Yuan's bodyguard during a variety show shoot to secretly repay his kindness.

The plan went perfectly, until halfway through repaying the debt, he accidentally turned back into a human in front of Lu Yuan.

After exchanging horrified looks, Li Xuanzhou had no choice but to lie to protect his secret identity.

"Well? My idol's face is pretty, isn't it?"

Seeing Lu Yuan's furious but helpless expression, Li Xuanzhou secretly delighted in himself. He continued repaying the debt while posing as a "true fan" and going out of his way to annoy him.

Then, on the night the variety show ended and Li Xuanzhou had successfully repaid his debt, Lu Yuan invited him to the garden and confessed his feelings.

Lu Yuan's gaze was earnest, his voice heavy: "...For your sake, I'll try to become good friends with Li Xuanzhou."

Li Xuanzhou: What is going on? Weren't we supposed to get what we wanted and then go our separate ways?

He was so startled that his fur stood on end, and he ran away.

Little did he know that Lu Yuan later reviewed the surveillance footage, tracking the cat's movements until he discovered that the last place it had appeared was outside Li Xuanzhou's apartment building.

Lu Yuan smiled ominously.

Fine. Time to steal the cat.

Everyone knew Li Xuanzhou and Lu Yuan were the most handsome archenemies in show business, and every time they met, chaos was sure to follow.

But after Lu Yuan's career got back on track, the way these two archenemies interacted changed dramatically.

Lu Yuan abandoned his former disdain and suddenly started chasing after Li Xuanzhou.

Li Xuanzhou stopped provoking him and instead fled to the remote mountains to farm, all to avoid him.

One day, the farming show's crew spotted Lu Yuan, who was filming with the movie crew next door, coming over for a stroll and skillfully cornering Li Xuanzhou at the entrance again.

"What will it take for you to tell me where Charcoal is?"

Furious, Li Xuanzhou grabbed Lu Yuan by the collar.

"Try calling me that one more time!"

Pre-release: My Younger Puppy Keeps Teasing Me, Synopsis:

Xie Jingtian, the current head of the Fu Group, came from an extraordinary family, was exceptionally capable, and had a beautiful, androgynous face. Countless admirers flocked to him and pursued him with fervor.

But no matter who confessed to him or what tactics they used, Xie Jingtian's answer was always the same two words: "I'm sorry."

As time went by, his admirers tearfully dubbed him the "Iceberg Beauty."

Xie Jingtian remained unmoved, as if he simply wasn't wired for love.

Until he met racing driver Meng Dongyang.

The first meeting:

One moment, Meng Dongyang was arrogantly pinning a stalker to the ground. The next, he was in the infirmary, holding his injured arm and bowing his head in apology beside the bed.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know he was one of your admirers."

"Next time, I won't fight back."

The second meeting:

Meng Dongyang wore a waiter's uniform. Taking advantage of the chance to pour him a drink, he nervously leaned close to Xie Jingtian's ear.

"Sir, I know you might not believe me..."

"But you'd better not touch any of the things on the table."

The third meeting:

Meng Dongyang walked into his office with a document, looking surprised, and carefully explained.

"Um, I was just helping deliver some paperwork..."

"I really didn't know you were my boss's older brother."

Ten minutes later:

Soaked from head to toe, Meng Dongyang knocked on his office door for the second time.

"M-Mr. Xie, could I borrow some clothes from you?"

"They told me not to bother you... but, but you're the only person I know here."

Looking at those puppy-dog eyes, so nervous they seemed ready to burst into tears, Xie Jingtian calmly set down his pen.

"Sure."

A hyperactive racing-driver puppy suddenly appeared at Xie Jingtian's side.

At first, his rivals in love, who had been battling each other in secret, didn't take Meng Dongyang seriously.

Then one day, they were horrified to discover that Xie Jingtian had blocked them all.

After comparing notes, the rivals went to Xie Jingtian to complain: That guy's faking it! He's not pitiful at all!

Xie Jingtian glanced at the message. Before he could reply, the young man sitting behind him rested his head on Xie Jingtian's shoulder.

"It's all my fault. I drank too much last night and dragged you home... No wonder your friends are so angry."

"Maybe I should go apologize to them?"

Hearing that pitiful voice beside him, Xie Jingtian only curled his lips into a smile.

Then he typed a reply right in front of him:

"I know. It's adorable."

Then he turned his head and kissed the young man between his startled brows, his tone earnest.

"Would you like me to go with you?"

Theme: If you find yourself in difficult circumstances, don't wallow in self-pity. Keep striving, and the light will eventually break through.
