After Seven Years of Widowhood, My Late Husband Turned into a Dog

Shen An is a national-level first-class Celestial Master and a special-grade officer in the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations.

Everyone says he's cold and heartless, with no affection for his sect or his brothers in arms, and that he gave his heart only once, to a man.

Sadly, that man died a year after they married.

Shen An mourned him for seven years.

On the seventh anniversary of his husband's death, just after visiting his grave, Shen An received a call and hurried off to protect the seal-breaking ritual for a thousand-year-old demon king.

The moment the demon king made his dazzling entrance, Shen An was stunned. Wasn't this the husband who had died seven years ago?

He rushed over, grabbed the man by the collar, and started cursing him. The other man only looked back at him with an innocent expression.

Amnesia wasn't the scary part. The scariest thing was that some unknown force might still have the demon's soul fragments from seven years ago.

Shen An didn't dare act rashly and was forced to accept that he couldn't acknowledge his former lover.

But why was the demon king looking at him more and more strangely?

Tang Shuoyun was once an ancient great demon who protected the territory of a demon clan for a thousand years.

He once had a teacher who guided him into the world and kept him safe, only to have his immortal bones ripped out and be thrown from the Immortal Sinners' Platform.

All he could do was guide his master's last wisp of soul into reincarnation to recuperate.

When he returned to the mortal world, the Great Dao was on the verge of collapse, and nameless evil spirits were appearing everywhere.

Tang Shuoyun swore to carry on his master's legacy, save all living beings, and protect his master's reincarnation, Shen An.

The bad news: Shen An didn't want him.

The good news: Shen An took in his true form, picking him up like a stray dog.

Tang Shuoyun settled into life in Shen An's home. The one thing he couldn't stand was the memorial tablet for Shen An's late husband.

Especially after he once witnessed Shen An crying in front of it late at night.

There were countless men in the world. Why should his master cry over a short-lived nobody?

Tang Shuoyun was furious. The next day, he ordered his subordinates to submit every profile they could find of promising young men.

Before any of the profiles reached his master, he reviewed them all and rejected every one.

His master might not insist on having the best man in the world, but surely he couldn't choose someone even worse than his last husband?!

Tang Shuoyun hated Shen An's ex-husband, hated the world's useless men, and eventually even hated the former master-disciple relationship he had once shared with Shen An.

Until one day, after a mission, Tang Shuoyun rushed home to be a dog.

Unfortunately, just as he finished transforming, he heard the voice of the person who shouldn't have been home yet behind him.

"Honey, is pretending to be a dog fun?"

Theme: The world may be falling apart, but we're still trying to put it back together.
