Why Is It a Male One?

[Naive, adorable, utterly clueless, genuine tiger-demon bottom x Sect leader top who seems aloof but is actually a drama queen with an overwhelming need for control]

In short, this is the story of a newly awakened tiger cub struggling to raise a human baby girl.

Lu Yuan was the name the tiger spirit eventually got. At first, it had no name.

Others called it a tiger, a big beast, a mountain lord, and so on.

It was not yet grown when its mother died a violent death. Many, many people died alongside her.

In the end, only it and a human baby girl remained.

It vaguely understood that she was not food and could not be eaten.

So, before it had even grown up, the tiger cub somehow ended up with a human cub of its own.

But the tiger cub was troubled. Its cub couldn't eat meat, and it had no milk.

The tiger cub lowered its head, grooming its cub's hair as it fretted even more. What should it do? She was bald, too. How was she supposed to make it through the winter?

Oh, right, she also cried a lot. The tiger cub rather liked that, though, because crying brought lots of food.

The long years had nearly worn away Ye Cun's remaining emotions, until he discovered a... tiger cub trying its hardest to raise a human baby?

The tiger's tail lashed Ye Cun's hand like a whip, while it shielded the baby beneath itself like a cornered beast.

"It's a male tiger, of all things." A ripple stirred in Ye Cun's placid eyes. "Interesting."

After letting the tiger cub go, the dignified sect leader transformed into a fortune-telling Daoist, a woodcutter, and a farmer, watching the cub with keen interest.

Before the baby girl could be raised completely wrong, Ye Cun had no choice but to bring both the tiger and the child back to his sect.

2. One-on-one pairing. The top and bottom have only each other.

3. There will be plenty of child-rearing scenes.

4. More to come if I think of anything.
