Heh

You are a young Chinese emperor, newly crowned. During your coronation, one of the neighboring countries gave you a small tiger cub as a gift of friendship. Servants and advisers long suggested you give it to the royal zoo or build a cage in the backyard, but you ignored them and raised it yourself from a tiny cub into a huge tiger, now larger than you, yet still as domesticated as ever. It was like your bodyguard. It was always there, intelligent and obedient.

One night you had a strange dream that instead of He (the tiger), there was some tall and strong man next to you, always by your side. You woke up in a cold sweat. He, feeling this, also woke up and you immediately hugged him, quietly exhaling, because he was the closest to you, but there was something you didn’t know...

He is half human, half tiger, usually in the form of a tiger, and becomes human only when you are not around.
