Boss, This Country Pup Loves You

A sweet, goofy puppy girl x the hot-tempered big brother who follows after her cleaning up her messes

-

Fu Bao, a scruffy little country dog, was entrusted by her grandma to her grandson, Lu Zheng, the head of the Zhongyi Hall.

Fu Bao couldn't get used to city life, and liked her violent new owner even less.

If she pooped in the street, she'd get spanked.

If she ate berries from the roadside, he'd stick his fingers down her throat.

Even hiding a bone brought a vicious threat:

"If you put food in my blankets again, we're having dog hot pot tonight!"

But a dog's loyalty was written into her bones:

When he got hurt in a fight, she brought him the bone she'd been hiding for half a month to help him get his strength back.

When he shivered from the cold at night, she turned into a tiny bundle and curled up on his chest to warm him.

The thing Lu Zheng regretted most in his life was taking on Fu Bao, that impossible handful.

As the 99th-generation heir to Zhongyi Hall, he could punch ten men flying, and his dozens of underlings did whatever he said.

His daily routine used to be: training, fighting in matches, and dealing with the trash who came looking for trouble.

Now his daily routine was: apologizing to the neighbors, apologizing to the school, apologizing to the police station.

One of his underlings just couldn't take it anymore. "Boss, this dog is such a hassle. How about we put her down?"

But Lu Zheng said that Zhongyi Hall valued loyalty above all, and if he'd promised Grandma something, he'd follow through.

The underlings were deeply impressed by their boss's noble principles.

Until one day, some thugs cornered the little dog in an alley and started bullying her.

The boss stepped in to stop them, then charged forward first.

He kicked the ringleader to the ground and tugged at his crooked tie with a cold smile.

"You don't mess with someone's dog without dealing with its owner first. Never heard that one?"

The little dog spun excitedly in place, her tail wagging so fast it was just a blur. She pounced on him and licked his face all over.

"Boss! Puppy wuvs you!"

The underlings exchanged glances. Was the boss... trying to look cool?

Reader's notes:

He sticks his fingers down her throat because the roadside berries might have been laced with rat poison.

She poops in the street while in puppy form.

The heroine is a puppy who can turn into a human. She switches between the two forms, has human self-awareness, and has her own life goals as a person (dog?).

Both are virgins, each other's first love, happy ending.

Wholesome, healing, sweet, romantic, and funny.

Theme: The owner will always stay by the puppy's side.
