[Raising a Child | Love by Force | Ancient Times to Ancient Times]
Beautiful, kind-hearted little angel X scheming, lovesick, pitiful young man
Ling Wanying came back from the dead, only to find herself in a thatched hut in some unknown place, turned into a white cat with black eyes.
Ling Wanying: Meow? [What is this?]
Luckily, she found a pitiful little boy. As long as he touched her cat tail, she could return to human form for three hours.
And so Ling Wanying began her child-rearing career.
She helped him catch wild fish, pick wild fruit, and fight bad guys. Later, she even started a business, raising Yin Xu into a graceful young man with a clear, untainted air.
Then one day, a royal carriage stopped outside the thatched hut.
Only then did Ling Wanying realize that this world was the setting of a storybook she'd read before, titled Captive Songbird.
Yin Xu was the tragic young tyrant protagonist, and she herself... was following the heroine's storyline?!
Recalling all the scenes of love by force in the storybook, Ling Wanying felt a chill all over.
To be safe, running away was the best plan!
Ling Wanying hid in her cat form all the way, evading Yin Xu's massive manhunt.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, someone suddenly grabbed her by the scruff.
Yin Xu curled a finger around her tail, smiling with a wicked air:
"Sister, why are you running?"
The next day, a female palace attendant surnamed Ling appeared in the imperial palace, assigned to record the emperor's daily activities.
At night, golden chains clinked on the dragon bed.
Ling Wanying braced herself against his thrusts, her writing brush leaving crooked strokes in the emperor's daily records.
Choking back sobs, she turned around. "You lied to me! You said you'd let me go after I wrote it!"
Yin Xu tugged on the golden chain and leaned over, gripping her slender waist as he pulled her into his arms. "A Ying, you're responsible for the child you raised."
"Sister, turn into a cat one more time, and I'll let you go."
Ling Wanying: Can cats be forced into love too?!
