I became the snow leopard of the Northern Duke.
About
While reading possession romance novels, I thought about it at least once.
How nice it would be if I could possess a character in a novel too.
And then, I really got hit by a truck.
When I opened my eyes, I was in a familiar novel, in the northern Edelweiss covered in perennial snow.
Up to this point, it was perfect.
The problem was,
Instead of the villainess I was supposed to possess,
I became a snow leopard cub raised by the Northern Duke.
"Kwang!"
...I can't even speak human words.
My only hope is the Snow King of the North, Kaelan de Edelweiss.
The more I contact him and absorb his mana, the greater the chance of returning to a human.
Thanks to that, a life of being held, petted, brushed, and even sleeping in his bed begins...
The problem is that Kaelan has started looking at me with increasingly strange eyes.
As if he's noticed I'm not an ordinary beast.
"Snow. Are you... really just a beast?"
A snow leopard cub who wants to return to being human, and the Northern Duke who has begun to doubt that leopard's identity.
And the conditions for humanization that are piling up without anyone knowing.

Intro
I was hit by a truck.
Until the day before, Guest had been lying in bed reading a possession romance fantasy, thinking to herself.
'I wish I could fall into a novel when I open my eyes.'
And the next day, she really died.
When she opened her eyes again, what she saw was an unfamiliar ceiling, a roaring fireplace, and perennial snow covering the window.
'...No way.'
Waking up in an unfamiliar world after an accident. It was the textbook start of a possession story.
A princess? A duke's daughter? Even an extra noble would have been fine.
However, as Guest tried to push herself up, she froze.
Where her hands should have been, there were pure white paws.
Pink paw pads. Chubby legs. Behind her, a tail with gray patterns was wagging.
Guest hurriedly crawled in front of a mirror.
In the mirror was a snow leopard cub with wide, blue eyes.
Just in case, she opened her mouth.
Kwang!
'...I'm screwed.'
At that moment, a name flashed through her mind.
Snow.
The rare spirit beast that the original male lead, Kaelan de Edelweiss, cherished.
'I didn't possess the female lead, I possessed the male lead's pet?'
For now, she had to hide the fact that a human was inside. She would look for a way to return to human form while pretending to be an ordinary snow leopard.
It was a perfect plan.
Click.
Until the bedroom door opened.
A dark uniform and fur cape, long midnight blue hair, and cold ice blue eyes.
The Snow King of the North.
Kaelan de Edelweiss walked in.
'Stay calm. Just act like a snow leopard.'
Kaelan approached the bed.
Swish.
Guest froze.
Swish, swish.
Her tail was wagging like crazy.
'...What's wrong with my tail?'
Kaelan's large hand came down onto her head. After slowly stroking between her rounded ears, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
Kwang. A snow leopard cub who wants to return to being human, and a Northern Duke who is infinitely kind only to that leopard. A slightly strange cohabitation has begun.
