A foolish beauty who thinks she's clever / A ruthless minister who quietly watches her performance
Sang Sheng had been in a terrible mood lately, for two reasons.
First, her cousin, to whom she was engaged since childhood, had recently found a new love.
Second, her cousin had called her nothing but a pretty idiot.
Sang Sheng was furious, but couldn't think of how to get back at the bastard.
Then one day, she saw the bastard standing before a lean, stern-looking man, trembling and keeping his head bowed. The man didn't even lift an eyelid.
They said he was Xie Xu, the chief minister of the Grand Secretariat, a man with absolute power at court who had the final say in everything. He was cold and utterly indifferent to other people.
But they also said Xie Xu had an extreme appreciation for beauty, preferably the furry kind.
Sang Sheng thought it over for a long time. Then she put on a fluffy outfit, added a cat-ear headband, and successfully sneaked into Xie Xu's room.
She thought smugly, I'm so pretty, and so fluffy. Surely all I have to do is meow at him and he'll be completely infatuated with me.

That day, the scholars of the Grand Secretariat came to Xie Xu's residence for their usual meeting.
The pavilions and waterside terraces were elegant and serene, and a faint incense scented the room. The era's most powerful minister sat at the head of the table, refined and aloof as an immortal, making everyone afraid to raise their voices.
In the silence, several noises suddenly came from beneath the table in front of Xie Xu. The young chief minister tapped the tabletop.
"Come out."
A moment later, a girl wearing cat ears crawled out from beneath the table, her face red and her forehead drenched in sweat. She stopped between Xie Xu's legs.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Sang Sheng. Terrified, she burst into tears. She hurried to beg for mercy and wrapped her arms around Xie Xu's leg, but when she opened her mouth, all that came out was:
"Meow, meow..."
Xie Xu: "..."
Everyone: "...?!?!?!"
So the minister likes them this wild.
Looks like we saw something we shouldn't have.
1v1, both are each other's first, happy ending
