Yun Qing is a tabby cat with dreams of becoming a martial arts hero.
But he has always believed he is different from other cats.
After all, he's the only heroic cat who can turn into a human.
So Yun Qing spends his days fighting injustice, roaming the world with his claws at the ready. Every cat in City S knows the name of the great King Yun.
One stormy night, Yun Qing landed a left hook and a right punch, successfully rescuing a man who was being attacked by three mad dogs.
Just as Yun Qing was about to leave without taking credit, as he always did after helping someone, he heard a sneer behind him. "Mind your own business."
Yun Qing: ...
Yun Qing (furious): What an ungrateful human jerk!
The renowned author Huai Zhou is humble and refined on the surface, seemingly untouched by worldly grime. In reality, he's infamous among writers for being a fastidious busybody.
And what he hates most is cats.
Until one day, he stared in disbelief at the conspicuous paw print on his pristine white bedsheet, then locked eyes with the little tabby.
Xie Huaizhou: ...?
Yun Qing (awkwardly laughing): Human, would you believe me if I said I was here on a mission?
An unwelcome guest showed up at home. Teacher Huai Zhou held back again and again, but still managed to resist the urge to throw the little tabby out.
Who knew Yun Qing had no intention of getting along with Xie Huaizhou in the first place?
With a light spring of his paws, he leapt over the wall and went out to right wrongs, free to roam the world.
When the cat lost his front paw, he was surrounded by other cats. Luckily, Xie Huaizhou happened upon him and took him back after rescuing him.
Yun Qing: Thank you, two-legs, for saving me! (Paws together)
Yun Qing: I can never repay your kindness. Once I've united all of City S, three thousand cat soldiers will follow your orders.
The little cat in his hands meowed nonstop. Xie Huaizhou's touch unconsciously softened, though he still couldn't resist a sharp remark.
"Such a nuisance."
That night, steam filled the bathroom
The injured kitten stood before Xie Huaizhou and, with a pop, turned into a delicate-looking young man.
Xie Huaizhou's gaze darkened. Instead, he pulled the young man securely into his arms and asked in a low voice, "Am I the only one who knows this secret...?"
The tip of a tail brushed his palm. His voice turned husky. "Turn back one more time."
Yun Qing: ...
Yun Qing (fur standing on end): ...Y-You're a pervert!!!
