[A former overworked office worker reborn as a cat master bottom x a hidden plushie lover villain top]
Take a look at this office worker, Xiu Mi. After pulling all-nighters for a week to work himself to death, he finally dropped dead and transmigrated into a cat in a wealthy-family novel.
As the protagonist's cat, he hadn't even had time to enjoy himself when the System informed him:
[Your mission: Help the protagonist fight the villain.]
[Transmitting the story...]
Xiu Mi: "Work? Not happening."
He slammed his head into something and knocked himself unconscious, forcibly interrupting the System's spell and starting his laid-back life as the master of the house.
He lorded it over the protagonist's home.
He wanted the most expensive canned food, the coziest cat bed, a rosewood cat tree, and even a litter box studded with diamonds.
Then...
One day, after he had been a cat for who knows how long, he suddenly turned human without warning and discovered that his beloved owner was actually the villain!
And the real protagonist was the owner's ridiculously dimwitted young nephew!
Xiu Mi: "?!"
Remembering all those days he'd made the villain wait on him hand and paw,
Xiu Mi panicked. "No way, I have to run!"
He ran fifty kilometers through the night, only to turn around and find the villain blocking his way.
When confronted, Xiu Mi denied everything to the bitter end:
"You've got the wrong species, haven't you? How could I possibly be a little kitty?"
The villain glanced at him and reached out to pinch the tip of his tail. "Then what is this?"
Xiu Mi whipped around. "?!"
Damn it, why did his tail come out on its own?!
#An unlucky cat betrayed by his own tail#
#What do you do when you mistake the villain for the protagonist? I not only watched him shower, I also stole his cake all the time QAQ#
Bonus scene:
One day, the real protagonist finally came of age. At last, he could escape living under someone else's roof and run off with his little cat!
Protagonist: "I'm moving out!"
Villain: "Oh, sure."
And so his belongings were packed up and thrown out, along with him.
The protagonist stood stunned in front of the grand mansion. "Wait, where's my little cat? He's the cat I brought home!"
A cat's paw flashed behind the door.
His face lit up. He was just about to step forward when the white paw pushed the door shut with a bang.
Xiu Mi: "Yay! Now I never have to worry about anyone else sneaking a snuggle!"
Protagonist: "... QAQ"
[The real heartbreak isn't a big fight or a dramatic scene.]
