The Young Lady's Cat

Sang Yu, the young lady of the Secretariat Director's household, recently acquired a beloved pet: a cat that looked utterly ordinary to outsiders, even a little ugly.

Arrogant, vicious, and miserly: those were the household's unanimous opinions of the cat.

But Sang Yu did not agree. She thought her cat was clever and adorable. More importantly, her little cat could understand human speech...

Xue Huaijin was a young hero. At fourteen, he followed his father, Duke Dingguo, on military campaigns, repeatedly distinguishing himself on the battlefield. At eighteen, the emperor made an exception and promoted him to fifth-rank General Ningyuan. He was the talk of the town.

His illustrious background and military achievements had made him proud and arrogant, much to his father's chagrin.

Early in the twelfth year of Xuanping, Xue Huaijin accompanied his father on a campaign against Tubo. He was hit by a stray arrow on the battlefield and remained unconscious for months. The Xue family was frantic with worry.

But no one knew that during those months, his spirit had left his body and attached itself to the cat of a noble young lady in Chang'an...

Worse still, he had once rejected her marriage proposal!

Xue Huaijin felt as though the sky had fallen.
