Summary
Synopsis:
Lin Xingmo never expected that one day he would turn into a cat—and upon opening his eyes, the first thing he saw was a miniature version of Xu Yi’s face.
At this time, Xu Yi was still a poor, pitiful little thing with a healthy body, not the gloomy, powerful tycoon in a wheelchair who would later dominate the business world. And certainly not the marriage partner who had sternly demanded a divorce from him.
While Lin Xingmo was dazed, little Xu Yi reached out and spoke in a low, soothing voice, seemingly wanting to pet him.
The cat, snow-white with blue eyes, looked like an elf of the frost—beautiful and adorable. Looking at the boy’s hand enlarging before his eyes, Lin Xingmo… took a step back in total disdain.
Lin Xingmo is someone who cannot feel emotions. Joy, anger, sorrow, or the complex feelings others possess—to him, there is only tranquility. To avoid trouble, he learned to disguise himself as a “normal” person at a very young age. Because his disguise was so successful, no one ever discovered his condition.
He was long used to acting according to his own logic, but recently, he encountered some baffling things. For instance, his marriage partner suddenly asked for a divorce. Or, for instance, waking up to find…
He had become the cat his partner raised as a child. Moreover, he began to travel back and forth between two timelines.
Lin Xingmo was the “beam of light” in Xu Yi’s heart. After reuniting years later, Xu Yi decided to keep that light bound to his side. Unfortunately, he ultimately overestimated himself; due to his physical disability and Lin Xingmo’s icy demeanor, the sensitive and self-deprecating Xu Yi eventually chose to let go.
However, on a snowy night after the divorce was proposed, Lin Xingmo braved the blizzard to return to the new home they had shared on their first wedding day—the one Xu Yi had moved out of.
Xu Yi never expected that Lin Xingmo would faint from a fever and, upon waking, say to him: “I don’t want to be alone.”
“You are my partner; you have to stay with me.”
