the cat in emperor's arms

The sickly and delicate little cat × the cold and doting king

Ming Luomeng, the delicate and beautiful daughter of a Yangzhou magistrate, wakes up from a three-year slumber in Yunlu Temple, with fragmented memories. Seeking a cure, she ventures to the capital, only to be coaxed by the cold and aloof Emperor Pei Shenyu into becoming his consort. Despite his indifference towards others, he showers her with unparalleled affection.

Pei Shenyu, known for his icy demeanor, softens only for her, often teasing her affectionately. But Ming Luomeng discovers a hidden portrait of a white cat and a mysterious girl in the Emperor's study, and overhears whispers about the Emperor's past attachment to a cat demon who once saved him.

At the Wanshou banquet, Ming Luomeng, slightly intoxicated, tearfully accuses the Emperor of loving the "cat beauty" more than her. The Emperor, amused, gently strokes her hair and reveals that she herself is the cat he once cherished.

In his youth, as Crown Prince, Pei Shenyu had cared for a jade-white cat, pampering it endlessly. The cat would occasionally transform into a beautiful girl, sweetly clinging to him and making playful requests. But the cat eventually died, leaving him heartbroken-until she reincarnated as his beloved consort.

...

"Little lazy cat? It's getting late. You should get up."

"Why is Meimei like a greedy cat?"

With tears in her eyes, she fell on the emperor's lap and accused him: "Wow...it turns out that your true love is not me, but that little kitten beauty..."

Pei Shenyu laughed, caressed her black hair lovingly, and said:

"Little fool."
