[Cool and aloof on the surface, but a scheming, petty, vengeful cat-like top x Innocent, gallant, sunny cat-loving bottom]

Lu Cijue had spent eighteen uneventful years living a peaceful life. His parents were workaholics, so he had handled everything on his own since childhood. Everything was always under control; it had long since become his default rule for life.

Then, without warning, a car accident shattered that rule.

When Lu Cijue woke up, he discovered that his soul had transmigrated into the body of a cat.

From then on, he began to truly experience what it felt like to lose control.

Song Xi mistook him for a stray and brought him home, cuddling and teasing him. Lu Cijue put up with it.

Song Xi thought he was dirty and pinned him down in the bathtub for a bath. Lu Cijue let him off the hook.

But when Song Xi brought out a colorful Christmas choker with a little bell and insisted on putting it around his neck, Lu Cijue really couldn't take it anymore.

“No one else can ever find out about this,” he thought with a dark look on his face.

Later, Lu Cijue finally returned to his original body.

One day, after his identity had been exposed and he and Song Xi were living together, Lu Cijue suddenly pushed Song Xi down onto the sofa. The room was dim, the atmosphere charged with intimacy. Lu Cijue kissed the side of Song Xi's neck, then, just as Song Xi was becoming dazed with desire, produced an identical choker and tried to put it on him.

Song Xi came to his senses and gasped, trying to resist. Lu Cijue caught his chin in one hand. “Why are you dodging? Have you forgotten how you used to kiss me whenever you felt like it and hug me whenever you felt like it?”

Song Xi: “...”

Song Xi was handsome, kind, and especially popular at school. Wherever he went, he was always surrounded by friends and the center of attention. So when he kept going out of his way to chat with Lu Cijue, the new transfer student, his friends just assumed he was being friendly and looking after a newcomer. Song Xi himself thought so too.

But Song Xi failed to notice that the seemingly icy Lu Cijue was reacting more and more differently whenever he came close.

Song Xi had a habit few people knew about: he liked feeding stray cats in an alley near school. As a devoted cat lover, he finally came across a cat with a very unusual personality that he really liked one day, and immediately decided to bring it home.

He had a great time petting the cat, but one day it actually started helping him with his chemistry homework! And it got more answers right than he did! The boy and the cat even started communicating by typing.

Song Xi: ...Where did this genius cat come from? Can it take my exams for me?

Song Xi: Wait, why does this cat sound so familiar when it talks!? I have to ask enough questions to figure out who it really is.

However, not long afterward, the cat disappeared. At the same time, Song Xi learned that Lu Cijue had been in an accident. He rushed anxiously to the hospital to visit him, only to find that Lu Cijue had become very strange after waking up.

Some time later:

“Wait...” Song Xi was completely at a loss with the now very strange Lu Cijue, sweating profusely. “Brother Lu, I never did any of this to you...”

Lu Cijue held his chin and sealed those words with a kiss.

2. Includes a small amount of flashbacks. The top and bottom were classmates in high school but did not get together then; they only confirm their relationship in college.
