When Jiang Yan wakes up, she discovers she has turned into a ragdoll cat.
Even more absurdly, she has somehow ended up at her ex-girlfriend Su Wanqing's house.
The woman who had once said coldly, "There is no future for us," when they broke up is now crouching in front of her, gently coaxing her in a voice softer than ever before. "Little cutie, what's your name?"
Jiang Yan: "...Meow."
Fine. If she has to be a cat, she'll be a cat. At least she can freeload on food and shelter.
But she soon realizes things aren't that simple.
The ex-girlfriend who once broke her heart actually holds her and quietly cries in the middle of the night, confessing things like, "I miss her so much," "The breakup was my fault," and "I'm afraid I'm not good enough for her."
So the breakup wasn't because she didn't love her. She was just so in love that she was afraid.
So the woman who seemed so cold had been keeping her in her heart all along.
And things get even more intense when her rival, Lin Zhi, comes by every day to curry favor, saying right in front of her, "That poor painter Jiang Yan isn't good enough for Wanqing."
Jiang Yan is furious and wants to scratch her, but she's only a cat now, so all she can do is watch as someone sets their sights on her ex-girlfriend.
Just when she thinks she'll have to spend the rest of her life as a cat, a mysterious voice suddenly appears.
"You've completed half the task. As a reward, you may return to human form for one night."
Before dawn, Jiang Yan has to choose: return to her human identity and leave, or stay by her side as a cat?
She chooses a third option: win her back first, then figure out the rest.
