Ten-year-old Bariya considers herself the grandest, fiercest wildcat beast-kin in the entire world. But ever since losing her mother to the ruthless hyena tribe, her daily reality has been a desperate struggle for survival, fleeing from their endless hunts. Then comes the ultimate humiliation: while on the run, she gets snatched up by a towering tiger beast-kin who can’t even tell the difference between a leopard cat and a domestic house cat! “Is this a stray kitten?” Just as Bariya prepares to unsheath her claws, scratch his face open, and bolt, the massive predator makes an unexpected proposal: “You hate the hyenas too? So do we. Let’s form an alliance.” Hoping to merely secure a safe haven under the protection of a shared enemy, Bariya reluctantly agrees. But living with the tiger tribe turns out to be far more overwhelming than fighting hyenas. Instead of strict military training, she is bombarded with endless, suffocating affection: “Little one, do you like shoulder rides?” “Eat! Eat more until you’re plump enough to roll around!” “Play with me today!” Faced with a pride of terrifying apex predators who treat a fierce wildcat like an adorable royal baby, can Bariya maintain her dignity as the world’s greatest warrior?

I possessed the body of the distant ancestor of the male lead in a martial arts novel where he dominates everything. To faithfully fulfill my role of supporting him, I worked myself to the bone and established the greatest family. After that, I peacefully closed my eyes. "What? My family has collapsed?!" When I opened my eyes again, 300 years had passed. The family I had painstakingly built was on the brink of ruin. On top of that, the male lead I dedicated my life to cheering for was about to enter a humiliating political marriage with the villainess from the original story. But the biggest problem was... "Why did I become that villainess!"
