I Was Supposed to Train the Dog, So How Did I End Up Giving Myself Away?

[Dual male leads / a guide to training your dog / the long road to winning your lover back / intense push and pull]

Cool, calculating green-tea top × naive, soft-hearted young master bottom

The top acts aloof and obedient while secretly flirting at first, then turns dark and takes what he wants by force.

Provoked by his nemesis’s taunt, “You can’t even handle a poor student,” Yun Zhao slammed his hand on the table and made a bold declaration: “Give me three months, and I’ll make him willingly become my dog!”

The only way he could think of was to throw money at him.

To his surprise, luck was on his side, and it worked for just five thousand yuan.

Yun Zhao congratulated himself, never realizing he was stepping right into Xie Yuheng’s trap.

Xie Yuheng, who was supposedly “from a poor family,” naturally moved into his dorm. Every day, he showed up with tired dark circles under his eyes, making Yun Zhao feel both tender and concerned for him.

Until one day, Yun Zhao gazed at his focused profile, his heart pounding and his face burning red.

...Oh no.

He seemed to have really fallen for him.

So, emboldened by alcohol, Yun Zhao pinned him against the piano and kissed him fiercely. As their lips and tongues tangled, he could clearly feel the other man’s heart pounding just as wildly as his own.

But things didn’t go as he’d hoped. Xie Yuheng calmly wiped the corner of his mouth and asked coolly:

“Cash or card this time?”

Fine. Just fine.

Yun Zhao ran, swift and decisive, without a backward glance.

He was gone for five whole years.

Xie Yuheng finally understood:

A stubborn person really can end up without a wife.

After they reunited, he realized the truth: the brave get to enjoy their wife first. He tried every tactic, from keeping him to locking him away and controlling him.

But his wife thought they were dating.

So what did all his years of scheming amount to?

Did it make him... hardworking?
