Synopsis

Zhu Ming, a neuroscience genius whose career was derailed by an accident that left him unable to walk, had his dreams of scientific research shattered—and put his future marriage on the line.
Forced to go on a blind date, he comes face-to-face with the cold and handsome Xi Xianqing.
This proud and haughty jewellery designer has a spiritual form as a green peac*ck that cannot naturally spread its tail.
Xi Xianqing said coldly, “I’ll help you with your aunt, you’ll help me with my spiritual form. A marriage agreement benefits us both, and we can divorce after a year.”
Zhu Ming’s past profession made him drawn to challenging cases involving spiritual forms, and he saw Xi Xianqing as a compelling candidate for experimentation.
Zhu Ming smiled. “Let’s see how it goes.”
Later in their marriage, Zhu Ming developed a highly-effective medicine, which Xi Xianqing took for months, but the peac*ck showed no change.
Zhu Ming devised a new form of mental treatment. After several treatments, the peac*ck remained unable to shake even a single feather.
—Until a certain c*cktail party, the completely drunk Zhu Ming smiled as he hooked his arm around Xi Xianqing’s neck and, in front of the crowd, gave him a passionate kiss that echoed.
Once Zhu Ming sobered up, he was hit with a splitting headache. “…Sorry, I’m really bad at holding my liquor.”
Xi Xianqing remained silent for a while before saying, “Next time, please drink more responsibly,” and then walked away.
Zhu Ming was upset with himself for having crossed the line.
He sighed and looked down through the window, happening upon an expressionless Xi Xianqing in the garden.
—As well as the green peac*ck that was frantically spreading its tail behind him.

Editor's Note

⚠️ The Tsundere Peak. If you’re tired of the "Ice Block" male lead who never thaws, this is your remedy. The ML is arrogant and standoffish, but his spiritual form—a green peacock—is basically a walking spoiler for his actual feelings.

Subverting STEM Stereotypes. Honestly, I loved the role reversal here. Usually, the artist is the "free spirit" and the scientist is the "robot." Here, the jewelry designer ML is the emotionally stunted one, while our disabled neuroscience genius MC is the playful, witty one who keeps poking the peacock until the feathers fly.

Disability Representation. Not gonna lie, I was worried this would be handled poorly. While the healing process feels a bit rushed toward the end for the sake of the plot, the MC’s agency is never taken away. He’s sharp, independent, and his wheelchair doesn't stop him from being the dominant personality in the relationship.

The "His Dark Materials" Vibe. The spiritual manifestations (souls appearing as animals) add a layer of "show, don't tell" that makes the romance feel unique. When a man is telling you to get lost while his peacock is frantically trying to impress you behind his back? That’s peak comedy.

67 chapters of "Contract Marriage" done right. It’s short, sweet, and mostly headache-free.

Experience Curve

Ch. 1–15 (The Business Proposal): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Setup. The fake marriage trope kicks off. The chemistry is immediate because they’re both "emotionally closed off" but in completely different ways.

Ch. 16–45 (Clinical Trials & Peacock Tail): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Hook. This is the meat of the story. The MC trying to "cure" the ML’s inability to spread his tail leads to some top-tier banter. The c*cktail party scene? Absolute gold.

Ch. 46–60 (The Sour Mid-Point): ⭐⭐⭐ – The Conflict. There’s a bit of angst here involving family drama and some miscommunication. It gets a little "bitter," but it stays within the realm of healthy realism.

Ch. 61–67 + Extra (The Full Display): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Climax. A satisfying wrap-up. It doesn’t overstay its welcome. The extra chapter is mandatory reading if you want that final hit of fluff.

WebNovelDB Review

8 /10

If you want to read His Tail Feathers Case Report, expect a "Pride and Prejudice" dynamic but with more science and soul-animals. It’s a very easy, healing read that focuses more on the internal growth of two repressed people than on a sprawling world-ending plot.

Character Chemistry: 9/10. The bickering is the soul of this novel. The way Zhu Ming (MC) teases Xi Xianqing (ML) is genuinely entertaining.

World-Building: 6/10. The setting is a bit of a "fictional-interstellar-lite." It’s not super fleshed out, but the "Districts" provide a decent backdrop for the plot.

Romance Pacing: 8/10. It’s a slow-burn that actually pays off. They don't just fall in love because the plot says so; they actually learn to trust each other's vulnerabilities.

Translation Quality: 8/10. (Note: Stick to the human-translated versions for the best experience; the MTL versions floating around can be a bit of a headache.)

The Good: The MC has a backbone! He’s a "witty Elizabeth" type who handles his disability with grace and a sharp tongue. The ML’s "mensao" (internally passionate) nature is adorable once you realize how much he’s struggling to stay "cool."

The Bad: Some plot points—like the MC’s leg recovery and the antagonist’s sudden appearance—feel a bit "convenient" because the novel is so short. If you like 500-chapter epics, this might feel like a snack rather than a meal.

The Archetype: The "Guardian Researcher" and the "Frigid Artist." It’s a match made in a very specific, beautiful heaven.

The Final Verdict: This is a perfect "weekend read." It’s short enough to finish in a few sittings and leaves you with a warm feeling. For anyone looking for a His Tail Feathers Case Report review, the consensus is clear: it’s a sweet, low-stress BL that uses its unique premise to deliver a solid romance. Just don't expect a hard-sci-fi breakdown of the world—come for the peacock, stay for the kisses.
