He's Just a Cat's Substitute

When the cat demon Lan Xiang awoke, a hundred years had passed. He thought his beloved had returned to the underworld.

Then An Chen appeared, looking so much like that person. So Lan Xiang accepted An Chen's advances.

But An Chen only treated him as a lover. Lan Xiang knew that, but for the sake of that face, he was willing.

Later, he discovered that An Chen had a fiancee. Then his beloved appeared. It turned out he hadn't died and had been waiting for him all along...

A cozy reading note:

Short story, a change of love interest. The male lead appears in Chapter 21. Feel free to skip if that's not your thing.

If you don't like this story, try "I've Been Waiting Ages for You to Drug Me," an everyday ABO sweet romance that's already underway (please add it to your collection QAQ).

Wen Sheng was forced to bind himself to a System.

System: You're the cannon-fodder male supporting character in this book, an adopted son of a wealthy family, a pretty face with no substance, always thinking about seducing the domineering CEO Alpha Huo Yunting and marrying into wealth.

Wen Sheng: Nonsense. I may have been raised by the Huo family, but I inherited all of my grandfather's estate. I'm a major shareholder in the Huo Group. I'm not just good-looking, I'm rich! Super rich!

System: Then help me bring the main couple together.

Wen Sheng: I refuse. I'd rather die than betray my uncle!

System: I'll tutor you for the three months before the college entrance exam and make sure you get into the university you want.

Wen Sheng was tempted...

System: I also have footage of your parents from when they were alive.

Wen Sheng: Deal!

What they didn't know was that Huo Yunting could hear Wen Sheng's conversations with the System.

Huo Yunting's heart broke when he heard how quickly he had been betrayed.

When Wen Sheng brought over a glass of drugged wine and asked him to drink it,

Huo Yunting sent everyone else away, locked the doors and windows, and watched Wen Sheng drink the wine down in one go.

By the time Wen Sheng realized something was wrong, it was too late.

When the bottom came knocking, Wen Sheng was pinned against the other side of the door.

Huo Yunting gently bit the gland at the back of Wen Sheng's neck. "You'd rather die than betray your uncle, huh?"

Premise: Time is short. Treasure the people by your side
