"Hey, President Luo, have you arrived? I've been waiting for you forever."

"I'm here."

A cool voice sounded both from the phone and at the entrance of the bar. Bai Xingrui looked up and scanned the person from head to toe before clicking her tongue in disappointment.

"You're still wearing a black suit? Is that really necessary? You're only twenty-three," she said while stretching out her long legs clad in black stockings. Her red, form-fitting, low-cut dress accentuated her S-shaped curves.

Luo Ke didn’t spare her a glance. She walked to the bar, sat down, and raised her hand to order a drink.

"Did you call me out for something?"

"Can't I call you out for no reason?" Bai Xingrui pouted, resting her chin on her hand in a deliberately flirtatious manner while batting her big eyes at Luo Ke.

Receiving an icy stare in return, she cleared her throat awkwardly and sat up straight.

"Today is your birthday, so I specially prepared a gift for you."

Luo Ke took a sip of her drink and watched as Bai Xingrui pulled out a large box covered with fabric. Her brows furrowed. That big?

With excitement, Bai Xingrui pulled off the black cloth. "Ta-da!"

Luo Ke looked at the weak little kitten inside an iron cage. It lay there, barely breathing, unable to even meow.

She turned her head away, unimpressed. "This cat is about to die from your torment."

Bai Xingrui gasped in shock. She hurriedly lifted the cage, only to find that the kitten truly wasn’t moving, its eyes almost closed.

She reached in and poked the tiny creature before cursing under her breath. Shoving the cage aside, she pulled out her phone, ready to confront the cat seller.

Luo Ke glanced at the kitten’s seemingly lifeless body. Her gaze lingered on its closed eyes for a moment before she looked away.

"Meow—"

A weak, trembling sound broke the silence.

Luo Ke raised an eyebrow in slight surprise and turned back. The kitten opened its eyes at the same time, its amber pupils gleaming under the dim bar lights.

For a brief moment, both human and cat were stunned. Then, Luo Ke watched as the kitten—previously on the brink of death—suddenly bristled, letting out a shrill, panicked screech while arching its tiny back and retreating to the corner of the cage.

Bai Xingrui was still arguing on the phone, oblivious to the scene. Luo Ke nudged her leg with the tip of her shoe, prompting an immediate reaction.

Luo Ke pointed at the cage. "Take your cat away."

Bai Xingrui leaned in, saw that the kitten was alive, glanced at Luo Ke, then grabbed her bag and bolted. "I’ve delivered your birthday gift. It's paid for—bye~"

Luo Ke reached out but failed to catch her, sighing in resignation. She tilted her head back, downed her drink, and prepared to leave.

A man in a white shirt approached, offering her a drink. "Miss, may I buy you one?"

Luo Ke didn't even glance at him. Without a word, she picked up the cage, bumped into the man on her way out, and walked straight to the door.

She opened her car door and tossed the cage onto the passenger seat. Inside, the kitten had gone silent, curled up and trembling, its big eyes filled with fear as it stared at her.

"Troublesome." Luo Ke muttered the word before starting the engine.

·

Crouched in the cage, Lin Sifei was still in shock. She stared down at her paws in disbelief—actual cat paws.

She—triple-award-winning actress, owner of millions of fans, worth billions—was now... a tiny kitten.

Lin Sifei lay in the cage, her head throbbing painfully.

Back in the bar, the sight of towering giants had nearly scared her to death. Even now, she couldn’t stop trembling.

She forced herself to calm down, trying to process what had happened.

Just moments ago, she had been given away as a birthday present…

She had been given to the woman in front of her.

Moreover, she didn’t have the hunting instincts of a stray cat—being a house cat was the best option.

Glancing at the woman driving beside her, Lin Sifei took in her cold, elegant brows, tightly pressed lips, and sharp features. She looked like someone difficult to get along with. And from what happened at the bar earlier, it seemed like she wasn’t particularly keen on keeping a cat.

A wave of pain struck her head again. She curled up, trying to ease the discomfort.

Luo Ke, Luo Ke—

Lin Sifei rolled the name around in her mind, her brows furrowing. It sounded familiar. And earlier, when she was dazed, she had vaguely heard the other woman in the red dress being called... Bai Xingrui.

Lin Sifei’s eyes widened in shock. Wasn’t this the novel she had read before?

The film industry had entered a downturn. Despite being a triple-award-winning actress, her company still wanted her to take on TV dramas. While picking a script, she had been interested in one, but after reading the original novel, she found the adaptation had completely butchered the story—because the original was downright awful.

Then… on her way to the company, she got into a car accident and died.

Lying in the cage, her eyelids drooped.

Her lousy parents were about to inherit her massive fortune. So unfair.

She barely had time to wallow in misery for three minutes before the car stopped. Luo Ke grabbed the cage and stepped out.

Lin Sifei still wasn’t used to people being this big. Terrified, she shrank to the back of the cage.

Luo Ke wasn’t gentle at all when carrying the cage. Lin Sifei felt like she was on a pirate ship, getting tossed around so much that she became dizzy. She gave up and shut her eyes, playing dead.

Night had already fallen. Lin Sifei’s ears twitched. Now that she was a cat, her hearing had become much sharper—she could even hear mosquitoes buzzing in the grass. She curled up even tighter.

Luo Ke placed the cage in the living room, opened the door, then turned and went off to shower and sleep.

The moment she was gone, Lin Sifei darted out of the cage at lightning speed.

She explored the first floor, eventually finding a full-length mirror.

Pressing her two paws against the glass, she saw her reflection—a tiny kitten staring back at her.

Tilting her head from side to side, Lin Sifei had no choice but to accept reality.

After living as a human for so many years, she was now a cat.

She looked up at the second floor, where a light had turned on, and felt even more hopeless.

Worse still, she was the villain’s cat. Later in the story, when the villain went bankrupt, she would end up as a stray.

Now that she had calmed down, Lin Sifei began pacing around the living room.

No way—she absolutely could not become a stray cat.

If she remembered correctly, in the novel, the heroine and the villain became enemies because the heroine was constantly bullied in the villain’s company. Yet, she kept working with them over and over. Her overprotective brothers, furious and wanting to monopolize her attention, naturally destroyed the villain’s company in retaliation.

Lin Sifei sighed. What a disaster.

But if that was the case, then all she needed to do was ensure the heroine got fired the first time she joined the company.

With her stubborn personality, the heroine wouldn’t try to enter any other companies under Luo Ke’s group. That way, a small grudge would prevent a bigger revenge plot. And at the very end, if she acknowledged the heroine’s talent, that could even smooth over the minor conflict altogether.

Lin Sifei sat on the floor, narrowing her eyes in thought.

Then, suddenly, her stomach growled loudly.

She lifted a paw and pressed it against her belly.

The noise only got worse.

The villain hadn’t given her dinner.

She was going to starve to death.

Forcing herself to her feet, Lin Sifei trudged toward the kitchen.

There had to be food there.

But when she arrived, she found that Luo Ke’s kitchen was spotless.

The drawers and fridge were tightly shut—completely out of reach for a tiny kitten like her.

Lin Sifei collapsed on the floor of the kitchen in despair.

Lying on the kitchen floor, Lin Sifei felt utterly miserable, on the verge of tears.

“Pa—” “Pa—” “Pa—”

Her ears twitched, and she turned her head.

Luo Ke stood behind her, wrapped in a silk bathrobe with a towel around her head.

Seeing the tiny kitten sprawled at the fridge door, Luo Ke let out a helpless sigh. “You’re even looking for food in the wrong place.”

She stepped over the cat, crouched down, took out a bag of cat food from the cabinet, and poured some into a bowl. After soaking it in water to soften it, she placed it in front of Lin Sifei.

“Eat.”

Lin Sifei sniffed. The aroma was surprisingly good. She struggled to her feet and nudged closer to the bowl.

Her mouth began to water. The softened cat food touched her lips, and her throat moved slightly. But she hesitated—her pride just wouldn’t let her eat cat food.

In the end, she couldn't bring herself to take a bite. Instead, she looked up at Luo Ke and let out a pitiful “Meow.”

Luo Ke frowned. “Not eating?”

Taking a deep breath, she pulled out her phone and searched. “Goat milk?”

She opened the fridge, rummaged for a while, then pulled out a bottle and walked over to the stove to heat it.

“Bai Xingrui really thought ahead—cat food, goat milk… she came prepared.” Her tone was laced with sarcasm.

Lin Sifei shivered at her voice, but soon, the sweet scent of warm milk filled the air. She couldn't help but swallow.

By the time Luo Ke brought over the goat milk, Lin Sifei was already waiting impatiently beside the bowl.

Just as she was about to drink, she suddenly felt herself being lifted off the ground.

“Meow!” Startled, Lin Sifei clamped her tail between her legs and let out a panicked cry.

Luo Ke placed her on the stove counter, holding her in place.

Lin Sifei, stomach growling, took advantage of the fact that Luo Ke couldn’t understand her and meowed furiously in protest.

After a moment, Luo Ke brought the bowl to her. Lin Sifei cautiously stuck out her tongue—the temperature was just right.

Luo Ke poured herself a glass as well. “So you’re not dumb, huh? You actually know it’s hot.”

Lin Sifei buried her face in the bowl. So she was just making sure I wouldn’t burn myself? Maybe this woman wasn’t so cold-hearted after all.

With her tiny appetite, Lin Sifei was full after drinking half a bowl. She lifted her head, and droplets of milk splashed onto her face.

She instinctively shook her head, forgetting that cat muzzles were pointy.

Bonk!

Her nose hit the rim of the bowl.

Losing balance, she stepped into the cat bowl, tripped, and knocked the entire thing over, spilling milk all over herself and the floor.

Luo Ke immediately took a step back, but some splashed onto her robe. She pressed her fingers against her brow and sighed before untying the towel on her head.

Her long black hair cascaded down, messy and damp over her shoulders.

Lin Sifei lay on the counter, staring at her delicate, downturned eyes.

So beautiful.

Luo Ke grabbed the towel and draped it over her. Before Lin Sifei could react, she was wrapped up and lifted off the counter.

Her eyes widened in shock, and she let out a startled hiccup.

Luo Ke carried the bundled-up kitten straight to the sink, turned on the faucet, unwrapped the towel, and dropped her into the water.

“Meow! Meow! Meow!” Lin Sifei flailed, paws scrambling at Luo Ke’s hand in terror. But cats couldn’t grip things, so her claws came out by reflex.

“Hiss—” Luo Ke sucked in a breath as she felt the scratch. Still, she held Lin Sifei firmly with one hand and scooped water with the other.

Lin Sifei curled up, hugging the fingers that supported her belly. She felt a bit more at ease. Realizing she might have just scratched her, she quickly tried to make amends—meowing sweetly and rubbing her face against Luo Ke’s wrist.

Luo Ke’s eyebrow twitched, her frown deepening.

Lin Sifei sighed internally. Yeah… she really doesn’t like cats.

As the warm water washed over her, she started to relax. After all the stress of the day, soaking in a hot bath was incredibly soothing—especially with someone massaging her.

Just as she was enjoying it, something suddenly felt off.

Where is this woman touching?!

Lin Sifei yowled in protest, kicking her legs and snapping out of her blissful state.

Luo Ke frowned, pinching her tail and rubbing the base of it. “A female cat?”

Lin Sifei lay limply in her hands, utterly resigned to fate.

Luo Ke’s fingers traced up, brushing over her belly.

Lin Sifei shuddered and immediately dove underwater with a distressed yowl. Stop touching me!

She barely lasted a second before Luo Ke fished her out.

Almost instinctively, the moment she surfaced, she shook her head violently—spraying water all over Luo Ke.

Lin Sifei froze, her neck stiff.

Cautiously, she peeked at Luo Ke, only to see her face darken.

Just as she was considering whether to act cute and beg for forgiveness, Luo Ke had already wrapped her in a towel, rubbed her down, then looked around and unceremoniously plopped her into the laundry basket.

Lin Sifei, bewildered, wriggled out of the towel, shook off some water, and clung to the basket’s edge with her paws, letting out a meek “Meow.”

She watched as Luo Ke pulled open the glass door of the bathroom.

Then—her bathrobe slipped off onto the floor.

Lin Sifei’s eyes widened.

She clapped her paws over her nose, her face turning bright red.

Scooting backward, she quickly buried herself in the towel.
