Black-hearted, alluring top × bright and bold emperor bottom
Meng Qiu became emperor as a young man, but thanks to the Regent's schemes, he died far too soon.
When he opened his eyes again, he had become a scrawny, weak raccoon cat. What a disgrace!
"Meow, meow, meow!"
Which blind fool dumped me here?
The emperor cat was in the middle of roaring when a gust of cold wind made him shiver. The next moment, he landed in a warm embrace.
"It's so cold out. I'll take you home."
Meng Qiu looked up at the face so much like the Regent's. His cat eyes flew wide, and he swiped at it with a paw.
You villain! Prepare to die!!!
But it was no use. All he got was a mocking laugh.
"Your claws aren't even sharp yet, and you already want to scratch people?"
The young man who looked so much like the Regent took him home. There, Meng Qiu learned his name:
Chu Huaiyu.
Meng Qiu remembered reading a storybook a few days ago. Wasn't that the name of the protagonist?
But he had burned that book the very next day.
It was outrageously obscene! Keeping it around was an affront to the eyes!
The whole book revolved around seducing heaven's favored sons and dragging noble, immaculate gentlemen into the mud. Even at the end, Chu Huaiyu couldn't escape the people pursuing him.
Meng Qiu had arrived at just the right time.
The moon still hung high in the sky, and the wolves had yet to bare their fangs. The emperor, who rarely let his heart soften, decided to pluck the moon from the sky.
Ever since he brought home a cat, Chu Huaiyu had been plagued by one nightmare after another.
In his dreams, white funeral streamers fluttered. Officials wept in mourning as he, dressed in white, walked up to a coffin.
The person inside seemed to be a young ruler who had died too soon. He couldn't make out the face, yet in the dream, his own heart was breaking.
Nightmare after nightmare brought memories from another era.
The man in his dreams wielded absolute power. He was constantly at odds with the young ruler, earning his resentment and alienation, until at last he drove him to his death.
Chu Huaiyu always thought they were strange dreams, until one drunken night, the spoiled, insolent young lord clung to him, crying out:
"Little Imperial Uncle, you said you'd always protect me..."
[Reading Guide]
1. His Majesty won't stay a cat forever. He also has a human form.
2. The original story's bottom becomes a top. There will inevitably be some side characters vying for the top early on, but later the lovable aura will gradually shift to His Majesty.
3. The top never harms the bottom, from beginning to end.
