My name is A Fu, and I’m a dog.
For five years, my young mistress Feng Mianmian followed that foolish heir around, soothing him, keeping him company, and even taking a sword for him. Everyone thought she loved him.
Only I knew she was just treating him like a purse.
Five years of hunting, one sword to earn a marquisate, and the whole family rose to greatness.
My mistress thought she could bow out once the job was done. But then that fool suddenly got serious and insisted on marrying her.
So the two clear-eyed women teamed up to stage a hanging, shatter the engagement, and head south to Jiangnan.
This is the story of a five-year con, as seen through a dog’s eyes, and of two young women setting off toward a world of endless possibilities.
A dog’s rules for life:
Whoever feeds me is my master, for now.
Whoever treats my mistress well is my master forever.
That fool? He was never on our path.
