Fu Yu is a cat demon who transmigrated from another world, as well as the young master the Fu family recently recognized as their own.
After taking over the Fu family, Lu Man becomes his ultimate nemesis.
They fight tooth and nail, evenly matched, until things reach the point where it's kill or be killed.
Fu Yu runs out of magic after a moment's carelessness and reverts to his original form. In just three months, he's become the king of the cats!
One sunny, balmy morning...
"Ding!" The System comes online.
[Hello, Host. I'm System 90. The plot in this world has veered too far off course, so I've been sent to correct it.]
The ginger-and-white fluffball rolls over and curses, "Twenty years and three months, and you couldn't wait until I was dead to show up?"
System: [Host, you're about to die! The plot has veered off course, and the male lead is close to death. If he dies, you'll disappear too!]
Fu Yu springs upright. "Explain."
[This world is based on a novel called The Overbearing Young Master Lu's Lucky Cat. The male lead has always had everything go his way. At twenty, he was falsely accused of not being a member of the Lu family by blood. He fell from grace, and everyone in his circle bullied and despised him. Now he's covered in injuries and nearing death, waiting for his lucky cat to save him. From then on, the man and cat will face life together. The male lead will prove his identity, build his own business, and live happily ever after.]
That's pretty inspiring.
Wait, his surname is Lu...?
Before Fu Yu can refuse, the System continues: [Host, you're that lucky cat, and Lu Man is the male lead's gong.]
"What the hell?!" Fu Yu cries. "Who did you say?"
[You and Lu Man are the protagonists.]
Him and his nemesis? What's the point of living anymore? Is this really how we're doing things?
[Host, in the original plot, the Fu and Lu families were engaged. At this point, they'd been married for a year and were about to fall in love after marrying first. But you were born into this world, remembered your previous life, and learned magic, then fought the male lead tooth and nail.]
[If we don't get things back on track soon, the male lead will die, his luck will vanish, and this world won't survive.]
"He's the male lead's gong. What am I?" Fu Yu asks.
The System chuckles. [Guess.]
Ha ha ha. I don't want to guess.
After hearing all this, Fu Yu feels as good as dead.
At first, he meant to go see his nemesis suffer.
After turning into a cat, he may not have had a luxury apartment or a sports car, but he wasn't exactly suffering. He had a huge gang of underlings, and cats waited on him hand and paw.
That guy had really gone out of his way to mess with him, trip him up, and stop him from turning back into his original form...
But the moment they meet again, Fu Yu suddenly changes his mind.
The former darling of the heavens is dressed in a white T-shirt and black jeans. He's covered in wounds, living in a gloomy alley, and working several jobs a day. His eyes are lifeless, and his arms are covered in cuts he's made himself.
What a delicate little white flower, swaying in the wind~
And that despicable fake young master keeps showing up to bully him, acting all high and mighty!
"System, I'll take the mission. I want to be the little white flower's gong, too."
The System falls silent.
Little white flower? What little white flower?
