Original title: Ladies, I Found a Cat!
Si Ningyin, an animal communicator, lost both her parents when she was young and had no one to rely on. By a twist of fate, she transmigrated into the body of a farm girl forced into marriage, and was bound to a System that let her understand animals.
Looking at the filthy little cat meowing hungrily in the corner, Si Ningyin smiled and pushed the farewell meal beside her toward it. "I'll feed you, and you'll help me escape. How about it?"
Before long, the filthy little cat had transformed into the beloved companion of a newly appointed top scholar, and even brought back a certain aloof big cat!
When her awful parents tried to force her into marriage, the little cat proudly licked her hand, then tugged the icy-cold top scholar over to stand in front of her.
Sure enough, Fu Luohui raised his eyes, and her awful parents, who had been haunting her like ghosts, immediately slunk away.
But why had the urgent crisis been resolved in a way so different from what she'd expected?
Gazing at the young man before her, who seemed to warn everyone to keep their distance, Si Ningyin held the princess's decree in her hand and didn't dare ask too many questions. She just wanted to complete her task as soon as possible and settle down to a peaceful life.
Later, she got her wish and opened a pet shop in the capital. The two people who had been "tormenting each other" could finally go their separate ways.
But something seemed to be wrong again.
Faced with a roomful of rambunctious furry creatures, Fu Luohui puffed up and herded them away from Si Ningyin.
Meeting the gaze of the woman he loved, he stammered, unable to confess his feelings.
After hesitating for a moment, he took Si Ningyin's hand and placed it on top of his head, then said fiercely, "Don't pet them. Pet me!"
Si Ningyin, looking confused: Is he really this possessive? I can't even pet his cat!
