Ye Qingyu had enough of her cutthroat job and quit decisively, planning to coast at a laid-back company for an easy life. That day, her gentle and stunning new boss personally interviewed her, asking just one question: "Do you like small animals?" "Mm-hmm, I love red pandas most..." With that one sentence, the boss's eyes crinkled in delight, hiring her on the spot. — After starting at the new company, Ye Qingyu gradually realized— Why were all her coworkers... animals?! The easygoing colleague to her left was a capybara who loved swimming in an oversized pool. The grumpy colleague across from her was a black panther who enjoyed working out and eating meat. The intern who joined with her was an energetic doggo who’d sprint across the office to fetch a thrown ball. ...... Thankfully, among all the fluffballs, her colleague to the right and the boss were still human. Until one day, when Ye Qingyu woke from a nap and looked right—only to see her colleague transform into a pelican, opening its beak wide as if to scoop her up! Terrified of birds, Ye Qingyu dashed to the boss’s office in tears— Only for the boss to suddenly turn into a red panda in her arms, flopping into a lazy, fluffy pancake! "Stop crying. You can pet me," the fluffy boss murmured contentedly. Ye Qingyu: …?! When she hesitated, the boss looked up with damp, vulnerable eyes: "Didn’t you say you loved red pandas most?" Gentle, scheming younger human (top) × tsundere, pure-hearted older red panda (bottom) 1. Main cast all female; lighthearted, cozy slice-of-life. 2. Mutual emotional/physical exclusivity; sweet HE. 3. The animals retain their instincts—thoughts/behavior aren’t fully human. Don’t hold them to human standards. 4. A purely silly, fluffy romp with many AU elements. Don’t overanalyze worldbuilding. 5. Key note: Red pandas ≠ giant pandas! Red pandas are fiery-red with snowy, bow-like ears and magnificent ringed tails—absolutely devastatingly cute!
