Cheng Zui transmigrated into a future where humans had mutated into beastfolk. As a human, she became a protected pet.

The one raising her was Her Majesty the Queen, the most noble woman in the empire.

Everyone said the queen doted on Cheng Zui, but Cheng Zui wasn't content with being just a pet, so she boldly ran away.

At a black-market auction, Cheng Zui was locked in a cage.

When she opened her eyes, she spotted the queen, hiding her identity, in the densely packed crowd.

The queen watched coldly, as if mocking her meaningless escape.

Looking down at her with haughty scorn, she said, "You can only be my pet."

Next time, I'll kill you.

The palace attendants thought the disobedient little pet would gradually make Her Majesty lose interest.

Instead, they watched the little pet grow even more brazen.

"What reward do you want?"

"To touch your tail."

"No..." The queen turned her head away. "Just this once."

Cheng Zui got to touch the tail she had long yearned for.

The queen looked furious.

Everyone watched anxiously, reminding Cheng Zui with their eyes not to touch it again.

Cheng Zui's satisfied smile faded. She shook her head and said, "There won't be a next time. A bunny's tail is softer."

Huh? Why was the queen even angrier now?

The queen grabbed Cheng Zui's hand. "From now on, you're only allowed to touch my tail."

They say you shouldn't touch a tiger's backside, but she just had to be bold and try.

It wasn't even that nice to touch, and it left her a little tired when she got up the next day.

The queen is a white tiger with mismatched vertical pupils. In her beastfolk form, she has white tiger ears and a tail.

Tsundere queen top x rebellious, willful bottom. Their status is extremely unequal at first.

The queen is possessive and says the opposite of what she means. She's older.

An alternate setting with lots of original worldbuilding.

Theme: Respect is the way to earn love.
