The Chief Minister’s Palm-Sized Chirp

Shen Xinian was the legitimate son of the Marquis of Zhenguo, but because he trusted the wrong people, his stepmother framed him and made him take the blame for his younger brother. He died of illness in prison.

Reborn as a tribute bird, Shen Jiujiu is utterly despairing. He refuses to eat or drink, wanting only to end his short life as a bird as soon as possible.

But when the cloth covering his cage is lifted, the person standing before him is the man he once longed for day and night, the one he never thought he could get close to.

The white jade tit who had been drooping, waiting to die, immediately bounds forward and presses a paw against the food jar just as it’s about to be taken away, gobbling down his meal.

Under the man’s deep gaze, Shen Jiujiu sits with his belly swollen, then sprawls in the man’s palm like a little bird-shaped pancake.

His chirps rise and fall, tender and heartfelt.

His eyes are full of stars.

The emperor gives Pei Du, the Grand Chancellor, a bird that is starving itself to death.

It is a pointed jab at the stubborn bird’s lack of sense, which is so much like Pei Du himself.

Pei Du’s expression is calm. “In that case, I should help it get what it wants and die as it deserves.”

But when Pei Du lifts the cloth covering the cage, the supposedly near-starved stubborn bird sees him and its round black eyes suddenly light up. It grabs its bowl and eats with fierce determination, so frantically and enthusiastically that it nearly chokes several times.

Pei Du raises an eyebrow and decides to keep this bird of noble spirit and excellent taste.

Cold men can’t resist clingy birds.

Thanks to Shen Jiujiu’s tireless efforts, he goes from the cage in the study all the way to Pei Du’s pillow.

He even gets a little blanket of his own.

One night, Pei Du wakes with a start and stares in shock at the white-haired young man who has inexplicably appeared in his bed.

Without his feathers, Shen Xinian keeps his eyes closed and snuggles into Pei Du’s arms as if he’s done it a thousand times, chirping without a care in the world:

“I’m cold. Jiujiu wants a hug.”

Shen Jiujiu is a long-tailed tit. Before he can transform into human form, there will be lots and lots of chirping~

They save each other

New fluffy novel, Me, a Tabby Cat, Comforting a Siberian Tiger? is updating now!

Jiang Ye is reborn as a tabby cat.

He has no owner, comes and goes as he pleases, and has an enormous territory. Every day, he wakes up on a three-meter-six-wide stone bed. He’s the tattooed gang boss type, with a whole crew of underlings.

Jiang Ye keeps himself sleek and well-fed, with a body full of muscle. When he struts down the street, he’s an imposing sight.

As a smart cat with a plan, Jiang Ye has sensibly scheduled which windowsills he’ll visit for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on each of the seven days of the week.

When he gets peckish, he also takes on jobs helping humans find their pet cats, just to earn a little extra food.

Though his territory is vast, Jiang Ye especially likes patrolling around the zoo. It’s not for any other reason: the meat there is really good.

Until one day, the zoo director tries to bribe Jiang Ye into taking a part-time job.

Panda-grade milk and fresh meat salad, both treats Jiang Ye tried once before and has never forgotten.

But

Jiang Ye looks at the Siberian tiger in the enclosure, its gaze fierce, and his confidently raised tail slowly sinks.

It’s not that he’s scared, come on. A tattooed gang boss isn’t afraid of even a honey badger!

But still...

Jiang Ye looks at his reflection in the glass.

Comfort a Siberian tiger?

Him?

Jiang Ye tries to refuse.

But the zoo is offering far too much.

Though his heart is pounding, Jiang Ye steels himself, lifts his chin, and walks into the tiger enclosure with his chest puffed out.

The Siberian tiger, restrained with a specially made chain and a muzzle, looks at the tabby cat before him. Blood keeps dripping from the tiger’s wounds.

The kitten in front of him, not yet grown, is practically giving off the scent of psychic energy. It cautiously approaches and opens its mouth to say:

“Easy, big guy. I’ve got your back!”

Reader’s guide:

★ In the beginning, the little cat carries the big cat by the scruff. The leads will turn into humans later.
