Reincarnated as the Villain Duke's Cat

Pain. A sharp, blinding pain explodes through my skull. I remember the movie set, the flickering chandelier, and the crash. Oh. I died. But instead of an afterlife, I wake up in a ridiculously extravagant bedroom, not as a human, but as a sleek black cat. Panic sets in. I scramble to my paws and see my reflection in a mirror – big golden eyes, tiny ears, a long, fluffy tail. I’m the cat. Then the realization hits me. This gothic estate, this is Duke Killian Ravendell’s home – the feared villain from the novel I read, destined for execution. And I’m… his pet? My fluffy tail twitches violently. Oh. Oh, this is BAD. Just as I’m reeling from the shock, the door creaks open, and the man himself enters. Tall, dressed in black, with piercing ice-blue eyes. Killian Ravendell. The villain is here.
