Poker-faced robot-like male lead x overworked office drone and sarcastic female lead

Blurb:

Xie Lin doesn't like animals, and he likes cats even less.

On his birthday, however, a friend forcefully hands him a kitten.

A white, fluffy kitten, like a little cream daifuku.

Xie Lin understands what makes these creatures cute. He can even list their endearing qualities one by one. But what's so likable about creatures like this?

And are all cats like the one he has at home?

It watches TV like a person, and answers with a little "Mm" after everything he says, as if it understands him.

When it does something wrong, it looks so guilty, but its eyes show no remorse at all, only nervousness.

Is this cat just exceptionally smart?

Xie Lin can only assume it's exceptionally smart.

If it likes watching TV, let it watch. How much could the electricity cost?

If it likes scratching at doors, let it scratch. It's just a door.

If it likes climbing into bed... well, forget it. It can climb in if it wants. Its fluffy fur is surprisingly soft.

If it likes kissing him...

How can a cat come over and kiss him?!!!

Now Xie Lin can't stay calm. Cats don't like kissing people either!

He tries everything he can think of, but can't break the cat of this bad habit.

Every time the cat comes over to kiss him, Xie Lin feels utterly resigned. If he dodges, the cat sulks. Its pitiful look is actually pretty heartbreaking.

Fine. If it wants to kiss him, then let it.

Xie Lin can only close his eyes and let the cat have its way.

Only later does he learn that the cat who had lived with him for so long is actually a person!

Xie Lin's worldview collapses after more than twenty years.

And not only is she a person, she's also the one he has been longing for day and night... his ex-girlfriend.

One day, Xie Lin is about to leave for work when he turns to look at his cat ex-girlfriend watching TV on the sofa.

"So, no kiss today?"

Zhao Jue stiffly looks up. H-he, h-he, h-he, h-he, what is he saying?!

Notes:

· The "rival in love" in the title is not a rival in the literal sense.

· The story is mainly told from the female lead's perspective, with a few chapters from the male lead's perspective.

· The title and blurb may change based on how things develop, but the core premise will remain the same.

· One-on-one romance, both leads are pure.

· Expected length: 200,000-250,000 Chinese characters.

· A silly, brainless sweet romance. Don't overthink it.

Upcoming novel: Can the Cannon Fodder Female Lead Get Surrounded by Powerful Men Too?

After working herself to the bone on missions in the real world, Yao Yixia finally manages to send herself back to her original world.

Although in her original world she is only a wealthy passerby character in a melodramatic Mary Sue novel, so what? Yao Yixia tearfully settles into her laid-back life. But before long, that damned System chimes in again: [All right, based on the Host's choice, your mission is to win over four male leads.]

Yao Yixia: ?

Contestant No. 1: Sunny, cheerful puppy boy with an overwhelming possessive streak

Contestant No. 2: Mean-tempered, aggressive beagle boy

Contestant No. 3: Cool and aloof top student on the surface, actually a nasty piece of work

Contestant No. 4: A flirt who has been around the block but never lets anyone get close

Yao Yixia draws lots. After hesitating for a long time, she decides the puppy boy should be the easiest to win over, so she makes her first move. The puppy boy really is easy to approach, but why won't his affection level go up?!

With no other choice, Yao Yixia turns to the cool, aloof top student. But he only gives her a mocking smile, takes off his glasses, and says, "Oh, me? No thanks."

The cool top student backs her into a corner, as if he's about to take her in the palm of his hand. Yao Yixia tries to turn back to the puppy boy, only to find him standing behind the top student, his body hidden in the darkness. "Didn't you say I was the only one you wanted?"

On one side are the cool top student and the puppy boy, and behind her are the aggressive beagle and the flirt!

Surrounded on all sides!

Yao Yixia: Tsk, I think I've messed up.

Reading Guide:

· A melodramatic Mary Sue story, featuring all kinds of outrageous tropes.

· The blurb may be revised at any time, but the core premise will stay the same.
