Shen Yan is a workaholic king of the finance world, a human KPI perpetual-motion machine. His nemesis is Xie Chen, the suited-up menace from Panshi Capital.
Until he worked himself to death after an all-nighter, only to open his eyes again as Xie Chen's high-class ragdoll cat!
The good news: Cat life is a breeze, and Xie Chen's chest is basically heaven to rest your head on.
The bad news: He has to watch Xie Chen, with that cold, aloof face, leisurely... pet his belly and the base of his tail, while murmuring in a low voice, "Be good. Give me a meow."
Shen Yan: "...Meow (What the hell)!" This is interspecies workplace sexual harassment!
Even worse, he discovers that the folders in Xie Chen's study contain his own business reports and candid photos of him at his most mortifying... More terrifying than being petted bald by his sworn enemy is the possibility that he wants to sleep with you.
When Shen Yan finally returns to his own body, he decides to play dead and keep it up.
But Xie Chen pins him against the wall, his fingertip tracing the knot of Shen Yan's taut tie.
"Cats are hard to read," he says, his breath scorching and turning the tips of Shen Yan's ears red. "But Director Shen, your protestations..." His palm presses against Shen Yan's pounding chest. "They're easier to understand when I feel them here."

"The Fierce Puppy Boy Cures the Incubus's Thirst" is a long novel. If you're interested, come take a look:
Everyone knows that Lin Luocheng, the main dancer of a top-tier star boy band, and You Han, the youngest member, are rivals.
Nobody knows that Lin Luocheng is an incubus who can only stay alive by feeding on human energy.
And You Han, the hormonal, younger wolfdog, is the power bank with the longest battery life.
Backstage, You Han leans close to Lin Luocheng's ear, his voice mingling with his ragged breathing. "Brother Cheng, during the performance just now... did you rub against my waist on purpose?"
Lin Luocheng grabs his wrist in return, a bewitching peach-red flush spreading from the corners of his eyes. "Kid... if you keep exploring, this is going to get hard to call off..."
"Same place tonight?" You Han asks, his gaze predatory.
Lin Luocheng scoffs and pushes him away, but once he's alone, he licks the corner of his lips, where You Han's overly enthusiastic bite mark still lingers.
In public, they roll their eyes at each other just off camera and trade barbs in interviews.
In private, they're the closest of energy-supplying partners.
Their refueling sessions are never gentle. You Han's kisses are almost bites, and his palms are like branding irons, pinning Lin Luocheng against mirrors or equipment as they "transfer energy" in a way that feels almost like a fight.
Lin Luocheng pants as he draws in energy, leaving scratches on You Han's shoulder. "...Are you a dog or something?"
"A wolf." You Han bites the tip of his ear. "And I only chew on tough bones like you."
They each get what they need, and neither owes the other anything.
Until an accident happens during a variety show...
During an aerial game, Lin Luocheng's safety wire malfunctions, sending him plunging down.
At the last second, You Han rushes over and breaks his fall with his own body.
The cameras capture this once-in-a-century reconciliation in a frenzy.
The people whose hearts are in turmoil are not just all their fans, but the two stars themselves...
At last, You Han kicks open the door to Lin Luocheng's dorm and pins him against it, fear and lingering violence churning in his eyes.
"Why, when you were falling..." He presses his nose to the side of Lin Luocheng's neck, his voice hoarse. "...did my bones break, and all I could think was, 'Shit, who's going to help you now?'"
