[Prince x Powerful Minister]
Xiao Yisu transmigrates into the body of the late emperor's youngest son, a prince who should have been showered with love and attention.
But the timing couldn't be worse. As soon as Xiao Yisu arrives, he is struck with a curse that no medicine can cure.
When it flares up, he grows fluffy ears and a tail, along with a fever that just won't break.
Only immersing himself in a cold spring can ease the pain.
After several people catch a glimpse of his wretched state during an episode, the ninth prince earns quite a reputation.
But with looks like jade and the emperor's favor, admirers flock to him like fish swimming upstream, all hoping to become the beauty's lover.
Afraid someone will realize he isn't the original Xiao Yisu, he usually treads carefully. Then comes the day of the palace banquet.
When he wakes up, he finds red marks all over his body, his clothes in disarray, and his legs trembling...
There are two suspects: the heir to the Marquis of Zhen Guo and the legitimate son of Chancellor Ning. Both are looking for him.
Terrified, Xiao Yisu disguises himself as a eunuch and makes a run for it, only to be cornered by the King of Hell himself and his men.
The regent says his cat has gone missing.
Xiao Yisu clamps down on the tail that still hasn't turned back: "Don't know. Haven't seen it. What are you talking about?"
This can't go on!
If he doesn't find an antidote soon, he'll scare himself to death!

Pei Henan, regent and the only non-imperial prince in all of Great Shuo, commands a powerful army and holds the court in his palm.
Even the emperor must treat him with deference, let alone some man who stumbles right into his hands.
Seeing the little thing shaking like a leaf, Pei Henan waves him away in disgust.
"A lowlife from the pleasure quarter dares speak to me?"
They meet again at a dubious inn on a rainy night. Drugged, the man collapses into his arms, his body inexperienced and his scent cool and alluring, somehow reminding Pei Henan of someone in his memories.
Pei Henan's eyes darken slightly as his hand tightens around the man's slender waist.
He just wants to know why the little prince, who has spurned two rising nobles at court, ran away from the palace.
Two people who should have nothing to do with each other set out together, accompanied by two teams of elite guards and a single coffin. Everything about it is bizarre.
But after spending only a month with the other man, Pei Henan feels as if someone has dug a grave right in his heart.
After just three days apart, Pei Henan regrets it.
It seems he's lost a cat again...
-
At last, Xiao Yisu finds a way to deal with the curse, and his heart fills with joy.
But why has he been feeling nauseous lately? Could the original owner have had another illness?
What? He's pregnant?
You damned witch doctor, you lied to me!
The sons of two powerful ministers publicly demand marriage at court, while the crown prince abducts him and confines him in the Eastern Palace.
"Little Imperial Uncle, where do you think you're going, carrying my child?"
Riding a tall horse, with a million troops behind him, the regent laughs as he fights his way back to the capital.
"Out of my way. I've found my cat!"
Gripping the back of his neck, Pei Henan pinches the trembling tip of someone's tail.
"Xiao Yisu, you slept with me. You really think you can deny it?"
The poor thing's ears spring upright in fright as he clutches his swollen belly.
"It wasn't me! I didn't! You're making things up!"
