Jiang Jiu is a little cat demon who finagles his way into being adopted by a human.
But the human seems sick. He sits in front of his computer typing all day, radiating a bitter, miserable air.
The cat can't stand all this quiet. He raises a paw and knocks every bottle and jar on the desk onto the floor.
Crash, clatter!
The human seems to wake up all at once. His lifeless eyes brighten, and a spark of life returns to them. He looks lovely.
The cat likes it.
So Jiang Jiu takes things further, closing the human's unsaved PowerPoint, stomping on his mouse and keyboard...
But for some reason, the human's gaze grows more and more indulgent.
Crispy little fish treats, delicious freeze-dried salmon, and imported cans and cat treats are delivered to him one after another.
The rented apartment turns into a luxurious mansion with a garden. Rows of delicate porcelain are set out for him to smash. The cat wears the softest clothes and eats the most expensive food. Even when he goes out for a stroll, his human's students compete to feed him.
Jiang Jiu sprawls in the air conditioning, munching on snacks, flattened into a little cat pancake, the tip of his tail swishing back and forth. Cat life couldn't be sweeter.
There is just one thing he doesn't like.
The human is always burying his face in the cat's belly and kissing him from head to toe.

Pei Yanchu is a gifted young researcher.
But after he started his job, he was ostracized, exploited by his balding boss, and had his research results stolen. Meaningless work wore away all his drive, until he found a little black-and-white kitten.
He thought the poor thing needed help.
Instead, the cat partied around his home every day, leaping across rooftops and walls, elbowing his computer, shredding the curtains, and covering the place in cat hair.
When Pei Yanchu came home early, the cat would blink at him and pretend to be pitiful.
Pei Yanchu came home on the verge of a breakdown after a full day at work. When he saw the mess, he didn't even have time to break down.
He was laughing with anger.
But he still couldn't bring himself to actually hit the cat.
So he buried himself in cat cuddles and got his revenge that way.
Little scene:
Until one day, Pei Yanchu did as usual and pulled the cat into his arms to sleep.
The fluffy little kitty vanished with a poof.
A naked young man was in his bed instead, his skin dazzlingly pale, his almond-shaped eyes glossy and dark, and a pair of slightly trembling pointed ears on his head.
The young man threw himself into his arms, the tip of his tail curling around his wrist.
Following his habits from when he was a cat, he pressed his lips to Pei Yanchu's cheek and rubbed against him affectionately.
"Master~ Aren't you going to kiss me today?"
Pei Yanchu: ! Is this right?

Coming soon: Office Workers Aren't Allowed to Write CEO Romance
Li Fubai is an ordinary office worker.
Up at eight and home at nine, commuting by subway; a monthly salary of four thousand, unpaid overtime; a mortgage to pay, half a lifetime of savings disappearing in a flash.
He couldn't just live on his fixed salary. Li Fubai patted his head and figured writing a brainless wish-fulfillment story might work.
Li Fubai surveyed the mass market, then turned around and started writing a CEO romance.
After writing 300,000 characters, he earned three cents a day, and the comments section was cold enough to freeze someone to death.
No matter. Every little bit counts.
It was normal for a new writer to have no readers. He was still hoping to make it big once the story was complete.
Li Fubai was very optimistic.

Lu Guanfu is an ordinary CEO.
A wealthy family, a successful startup, a flexible work schedule, and a fortune in savings. Elite gatherings, a vast business empire, and smooth sailing all the way.
But lately, something about his life has been off.
For example, at seven in the morning, after working out and showering, he was about to sit down gracefully at the table and enjoy a balanced breakfast.
The next moment, he inexplicably rushed downstairs to buy soy milk and fried dough sticks from a street stall, then squeezed into a sardine-packed subway to clock in at the office.
Lu Guanfu: "?"
For example, at noon, he had just finished work and was about to take a comfortable thirty-minute nap to recharge.
The next moment, he was pedaling a shared bike so hard sparks seemed to fly, racing to the market to snatch up discounted vegetables.
Lu Guanfu: "..."
For example, at eleven at night, he finished reading a classic and was about to turn off the light and go to bed.
The next moment, he sprang out of bed like a carp and turned on his computer to check data.
Lu Guanfu gritted his teeth as he worked overtime at the keyboard. "Who on earth is controlling my life?!"
They'd better hope he never catches them!

Until one day, Lu Guanfu happened to read a stupid novel.
The author was writing about the life of a CEO.
Lu Guanfu casually flipped through it, and his eyes hurt.
What kind of nonsense was this?
What CEO commutes by subway and luxury shared bike?
? Wait, something's not right.
*
Li Fubai was delighted lately. His ignored novel finally had a real, live reader leaving comments.
The comments were insults, though.
The reader followed the serial and insulted every chapter.
But who cared? Hahahahahaha! After being stuck writing alone for so long, even getting insulted in the comments felt great!
Li Fubai humbly asked for advice and eagerly revised his story.
So CEOs didn't have to clock in on time. And if they drove, they wouldn't need to worry about rush-hour traffic.
The next day, Lu Guanfu finally didn't have to squeeze onto the subway. He was getting ready to attend a delightful banquet.
Then he looked at the BYD car key in his hand. "..."
Little scene:
Lu Guanfu finally tracked down the young author. At the end of his patience, he pinned him against the floor-to-ceiling window in his CEO's office, gripping his pale, slender neck.
"Take a good look. This is what a CEO's office looks like. We're on the thirtieth floor. I can't hear anyone downstairs yelling, 'Don't bully a poor young man.'"
Li Fubai muttered, "Then how's the story supposed to be satisfying..."
Lu Guanfu narrowed his eyes dangerously. "What did you say?"
"Nothing, nothing!"
He was going to write it anyway!
It had taken him ages to get his daily earnings up to three yuan!
Nothing could wear down an author's steadfast resolve!
