Tyler Long. A white Southern Chinese tiger beastman. In his previous life his name was Liu Qingge. A peak lord and cultivator who died during a qi deviation.
His Chinese name is still "Qingge", but foreigners can't pronounce shit so Tyler will have to do.
He's the second son of Long Ying and Long Fang. A southern Chinese tiger couple. Their type of tiger is classified as "endangered."
Meaning there's not a lot of them left. For most of Qingge's life he's been told to try to keep the species alive, but as a white tiger they seem a little protective. White tigers are a sign of weakness.
They want his to mate to be a purebred tigeress. Doesn't matter what kind. In hopes his kids won't be white.
Qingge understood what his parents wanted. He strived to meet their expectations, like a good son would.
Until, he met HIM.
/
Junior year of high school. Qingge was hoping to meet with a Siberian tigeress girl to see if she would date him. Something caught his eye. Behind the school outside a least weasel being confronted by three ferrets.
He knew better than to be nosy, but something about this didn't seem right. They were all girls and the least weasel was male. He stayed and watched.
"You fucking slut! How dare you seduce my boyfriend!," the black-footed ferret snarled.
"What? What do you mean seduced?," the least weasel asked.
The American polecat (another name for black-footed ferret) huffed.
"Don't play dumb! I've seen the way he looks at you! Don't you know my species of ferret is an endangered one?! You are nothing, but a common least weasel compared to a couple with obvious pedigree!," she said.
The least weasel sighed. "I see. You're just angry because your soon- to-be-ex doesn't like you anymore and you think I'm responsible? It's called LIFE you dumbass! Didn't you think to talk to your boyfriend about this instead of bothering me?! I don't even have interest in that guy, even if he is BI!."
The polecat was shocked, but the weasel kept going. "How about you stop worrying about your species so much and find someone who'll look at you and only you! Have some self respect!"
SMACK.
All it took was one slap and all hell broke loose.
It was true. Members of the weasel family are inherently, feisty and fearless. Both of them reverted into their beastforms and went at it.
Fierce squeaks and growls filled the air. The least weasel was out matched in terms of strength, but his martial arts was amazing. Wait. Martial arts?!
Qingge watched as the weasel twisted around and pinned his enemy down.
"Stop! Stop! You're gonna break my arm!," the polecat shrieked.
"Do you give?," the least weasel asked.
The polecat screamed," yes! Yes!"
He let go of her arm and turned around. As he was walking away the polecat got up, ran, and jump up in the air to pounce. Qingge was faster though.
With one arm he grabbed the weasel, shielded him with his body, and pushed the polecat away with his other arm.
Her friends screamed.
The poor girl flew into the air, but fortunately was caught a bear beastman. Unfortunately, the bear beastman was also a teacher. Without any hesitation he ran. The least weasel still in his arms.

"You used qi on her," the least weasel said.
Qingge widened his eyes. "You cultivate too?"
The least weasel nodded. "I'm Yao Kekoa. May I know the name of my savior?"
"I'm Qingge Long, but my English name is Tyler."
"I see. I have to go now," Yao said. "Thank you for helping me and be more careful."
Qingge felt heat rush to his face. "Any time."

Yao is cute. Fuck cute. He's adorable. The man's jet black eyes are unforgettable. They've been dating since college and now have suitable jobs. Qingge works as a detective while Yao works in a tech company.
"So Su She is engaged to a female hyena beastman?," Qingge asked.
They were eating dinner together at there home.
"Yup," Yao said.
"He does realize both genders of hyena have-"
"He doesn't care," Yao chuckled. "Claims that the sex is amazing. He's got a thing for chocolate."
Qingge smiled. He's knows about Yao past life thanks to some....people. There's no need to treat Yao Kekoa like he's Jin Guangyao. He, himself not Liu Qingge even if the tiger remembers his past life.
A person becomes who they are through life experiences.
"I've got a question," Qingge suddenly said.
Yao looked at him in confusion. "If you have a question then, ask it."
Qingge got one knee and whipped out a diamond ring. "Yao Keakoa, will you marry me?"
The weasel looked at him in shock. Tears shined in his eyes.
"Yes. Yes! I will marry you!"
He jumped into Qingge's arms kissing his faced.
The two had sex afterwards.
