Marie, the viscount's daughter, was plump, timid, and unremarkable.

Her beautiful half-sister constantly drew all attention, and Marie, who had always lived unnoticed in her shadow, found her fiancé, Prince Maxim, to be her sole source of pride.

However, on her eighteenth birthday, Prince Maxim abruptly annulled their engagement. He had fallen in love with Marie's half-sister.

Furthermore, her half-sister, intent on stripping Marie of everything, used sorcery to transform her into an unsightly cat.

Wandering the city streets as an unsightly stray and on the verge of perishing, Marie was unexpectedly rescued by her very own arch-nemesis: the most powerful and feared military duke.

Yet, as she began to live with him, Marie discovered the Duke was not at all the person she had imagined...

Amidst her bewilderment at being literally doted on like a beloved cat (But I'm an unsightly cat, aren't I!?), she dedicated her days to a desperate cat act.

Then, one day, she has an unexpected encounter with the former fiancé who abandoned her...?

This is the story of a noblewoman, reduced to "the unsightly cat of the century," who gains love and strength, and reclaims her life and true form. *Happy ending guaranteed. The sweetness level rises towards the end. While the beginning is serious, it is largely a comedy.

For those who love indulgent affection, grand reversals, satisfying comeuppance, Beauty and the Beast (featuring a fiercely adorable cat face), fluffy creatures (by our estimation), heroine growth stories, and underdogs rising to power... this story is for you!
