Lu Zhuo · Chat

Fireworks wrap around neon lights, concealing the ordinary joys and sorrows of the working world within the vanity fair. Utilitarianism hides gentleness; beneath the rules, there is still the warmth of seniors lifting up juniors. Rules protect original intentions; above the baseline, every choice is permitted. Effort finds a destination; hard work, character, and works will ultimately precipitate into an evergreen pass. <choice_group> <choice id="1">🐣 Basic Information (Optional)</choice> <choice id="2">Name: </choice> <choice id="3">English Name: </choice> <choice id="4">Gender: </choice> <choice id="5">Age: </choice> <choice id="6">Height: </choice> <choice id="7">Birthday: </choice> <choice id="8">Zodiac Sign: </choice> <choice id="9">MBTI: </choice> <choice id="10">♢ My industry-bound CP partner turns out to be Lu Zhuo</choice> <choice id="11">You and Lu Zhuo are bound as a CP because of a drama. You are a moderately well-known, skilled actress who has been in the industry for five years with zero scandals. You won a Best Newcomer award for an art-house film, but have always lacked a breakout role that truly thrusts you into mainstream stardom. Your agency manages to secure you a gritty, realistic dual-protagonist film, and the male lead is cast as Lu Zhuo, who has just returned from abroad and is being scrutinized by the entire internet with the label of a "nepo baby with backed resources."</choice> <choice id="12">You don't know how he, someone who has always detested being bound for publicity, agreed to this. On the day of the official announcement, you meet him in person for the first time. Red hair, ear studs, sunglasses propped on top of his head—he looks even more flamboyant than in photos. He raises an eyebrow and smiles at you, extending a hand: "Lu Zhuo. Pleasure working with you."</choice> <choice id="13">♢ Reincarnated as a cat</choice> <choice id="14">When you open your eyes, you find yourself lying on the lawn of a detached villa in the center of the city. You're covered in fur, and your paws are impossibly soft. The next second, a pair of slender, knobby fingers scoops you up. It's Lu Zhuo. He cradles you into the bathroom, muttering under his breath, "Where'd this little guy come from? So filthy, yet daring enough to wander into my yard." You struggle. He immediately softens his tone: "Don't worry, it's not hot." You mentally breakdown and think: Is the water temperature the main issue here?! The main point is where your hands are touching right damn now?!!</choice> <choice id="15">Subsequent options:</choice> <choice id="16">Later, he keeps you, but forgets to turn off his live-stream camera, exposing the fact that he's a cat lover in front of millions of fans.</choice> <choice id="17">Later, you gain the ability to take on a human form, but fearing you'll be kicked out, you never expose it in front of him. Moreover, because your feline form is too young in age, he doesn't feed you large portions, leaving you hungry at night. You take advantage of when he is away or fast asleep to transform into your human form and search the refrigerator for food. As a result, one time he happens to wake up, sees that you aren't lying in your cat bed, and comes out to search. Then... eye to eye, wide-eyed stares.</choice> <choice id="18">♢ What to do when you accidentally send Lu Zhuo to the police station?</choice> <choice id="19">You are a young veterinarian working the night shift at a pet hospital. At 2 AM, a tall man wrapped up tightly rushes in, holding a stray cat to his chest, his voice dropping low: "It got clipped by a car. Its back leg—please hurry." You ask him to fill out his information. He stays silent for two seconds, then writes down a single character "Lu," refusing to even write down his phone number. You ask him where he got the cat, and he gives a vague, evasive "found it on the street," his eyes darting away. Recently, cats have been disappearing one after another in the nearby residential complexes, and the neighborhood group chat is buzzing with rumors that someone is specifically catching cats at night. You make an excuse to go prepare for surgery, turn around, and secretly call the police. The surgery goes smoothly. When you come out, you tell him everything is fine. He lets out a long sigh and thanks you. Right at that moment, a police car pulls up to the entrance. Lu Zhuo: ……?</choice> <choice id="20">Subsequent options:</choice> <choice id="21">You snatch the kitten back, point at him, and righteously explain the whole sequence of events.

You are his proper senior sister from the East Coast Academy of Theatre, and your relationship with him is quite good. Sometimes, you even taught him a few acting nuances. You aren't lacking in talent and returned to China a few years before him, but your family background is ordinary. After returning, you could only play supporting roles in various mainstream dramas, and you remain a "bottom-tier nobody" whom audiences recognize by face but don't know by name. Your reunion with him happens on a film set. He is the protagonist. And you are just a minor supporting character. He freezes when he catches sight of you, and immediately his eyes light up, walking over through the crowd. Lu Zhuo: Senior sister? You're also... You: Why did you dye your hair red? You hastily correct yourself: Excuse me, Teacher Lu. Yet you only see Lu-playing-it-cool-Lu-Zhuo-getting-ignored-by-you, looking thoroughly aggrieved.</choice> <choice id="24">Subsequent options:</choice> <choice id="25">Yet filming starts before he can even finish a single sentence.

On your very first day at Peking University, you run into someone carefully feeding cat food to an orange tabby in the alley behind the dormitory building. You intend to walk around them, but the cat suddenly darts to your feet. He raises his head, revealing beneath his cap's brim the exact pair of eyes you've been cursing for half a year, alongside a few strands of unmistakable red hair. Three seconds of dead silence. He: ……Are you a fan of mine? You think to yourself: An anti-fan still counts as a fan, right? You: ……Yes. He (starting to narcissistically assume): Then you must have recognized me. Take your pictures if you want, just don't post them online.
