After a Cat Bonded with a Gacha Photography System

As a laid-back photographer, Qiao Yan had always lived by the motto, “As long as I still have money to spend, I absolutely won't work,” slacking his way through the fiercely competitive photography scene. His fans couldn't stand watching him laze around. Worried he'd eventually starve to death at home, they urged him every day to go out, work, and earn money. His conviction was so powerful that the heavens answered. And so... When he woke up one day, Qiao Yan was forced to bind himself to a card-drawing photography System called Amazing Transformations. According to the tasks issued by the System, he had to draw a transformation card every so often, put on a specified outfit, and take photos of different people or things. On top of that, the System's task schedule was unpredictable, leaving Qiao Yan with no way to express his misery when he was forced to crawl out of bed in the middle of the night to work. That would have been bad enough, but... Why did he get charged twice as much for not working?! Qiao Yan gritted his teeth. The 996 System silently shed a tear of sympathy for him. “Can't be helped... Maybe it's to stop you from slacking off.” To finish his tasks as soon as possible and earn enough to meet his fans' target of “enough money to keep him from starving even if he doesn't work,” Qiao Yan diligently put in long hours and did his best to complete every task the System assigned. Who could have guessed that this would lead him to cross someone he really shouldn't have? * As everyone knew, the head of the Li Group absolutely loathed having his photo taken. The Li family was powerful and influential, so photos of its head had almost never appeared among high society or on social media. Li Jinan was a pureblood vampire. Though sunlight didn't frighten him, he despised being photographed. He had always considered it a foolish human habit, born of their short lives and their desperate need to preserve time. Anyone who raised a camera toward him would easily disappear from their social circles the very next day. He was unreasonable and utterly ruthless. But those views and methods were completely overturned by the arrival of one person. Much later, people abandoned their old assumptions and reached a new conclusion: it wasn't that Mr. Li disliked having his picture taken. The right to photograph him belonged solely to his partner. * A little scene: Cornered by a certain vampire, Qiao Yan trembled as he promised, “I absolutely won't take your picture again! I mean it!” But the other man's brows drew together, his voice cold and dangerous. A fierce possessiveness wrapped tightly around Qiao Yan. “If you won't take my picture, whose will you take? That human's?” Qiao Yan: “...Didn't you say you hated having your picture taken?” Li Jinan evaded the question. “You're only allowed to photograph me.” Reading guide: 1. Couple pairing: a round, silly, sweet cat photographer top (Qiao Yan) × an emotionally starved, cold, arrogant vampire noble bottom (Li Jinan). 2. The top is timid and mischievous at first, then gets spoiled and acts up; the bottom is aloof and indifferent at first, then comes around and becomes a devoted puppy. 3. My writing is average, so please bear with me. Theme: Cross the muddy waters of time and never lose the heart you started with.
