[Independent, strong-willed cat uke x cold, cat-loving human seme]
In an era when animals can take human form, they are bound to catch the office grind too.
Take Chang Le, a cat who is forced to run a cat cafe full of ugly cats and is already saddled with debt at a young age.
To pay off his debts and support his family, Chang Le decides to take a second job.
When he is most short on cash, a human named Xue Yan offers him a lot of money to act.
If there's money to be made, Chang Le can handle any hardship, even sucking up to his new boss, who doesn't look easy to get along with.
As one of the leading young CEOs in City B, Xue Yan is about to lose his job after his grandfather, the company's real decision-maker, starts making things difficult for him.
The condition for making peace with the old man is that Xue Yan must sort out his lifelong romantic prospects.
Xue Yan, a workaholic who is skeptical of intimate relationships, decides to make up a romance plot himself. Everything is ready except the actor.
An uneducated little cat is the best cat for the job.
He pays, the cat performs. A win-win.
After all, how could a human fall in love with a cat?
Chang Le thinks his boss is about to become a pauper.
The clothes his boss wears at home are getting thinner and thinner.
Whenever his boss stares at him, he looks like he wants to say something but can't.
His boss used to be so busy that he didn't get home until the middle of the night, but now he has nothing to do and comes home before dinner to cook Chang Le's favorite dishes.
The employee cat bed his boss bought for him has somehow been removed. In a large three-bedroom apartment, the only bed left is in the master bedroom, and his boss has even hinted that Chang Le should move in and sleep there too.
Looks like his boss can't afford to keep him but is too proud to admit it.
That's fine. A cat doesn't mind a poor home.
Chang Le secretly decides to find another job to support both himself and his boss.
Xue Yan has never tried to please anyone, let alone a cat.
His own attempts at flirting only leave the little cat looking troubled.
To avoid any chance of things turning flirtatious with Xue Yan, the little cat starts leaving early and coming home late, and occasionally doesn't come home at all.
His little cat seems to be planning to abandon him.
