The Puppy Girl Is Still Looking for Her Master Today

[Main Story Complete]

The chaotic everyday life of a big-hearted, quirky puppy girl and a stuffy official who's actually a tsundere~

*

Xie Songyun has been saddled with a dog.

More precisely, a little dog who turned into a person.

And the sort who loves wrecking the house.

Using Xie Songyun's name, she enthusiastically helps a widow look for her shoes.

Before Xie Songyun can get angry, she twists her fingers together. "I only wanted to help you win the people's hearts, sir."

He holds back.

While investigating a case, they're stranded in the wilderness. She eagerly starts babbling at a hungry wolf.

Xie Songyun hauls her back. She looks aggrieved. "I only wanted to use my keen sense of smell and hearing to help you solve the case, sir."

He holds back again.

At night, she slips out from under his brocade quilt and smiles sweetly.

Xie Songyun presses a hand to his forehead. "What trouble have you gotten into this time?"

Her little face turns pink. "I was just worried you'd be lonely in bed, sir."

He can't hold back anymore.

Rescue a stray dog, act fast before someone else does.

Until one day, she rushes into the study with a letter, her voice full of joy as she speaks to him with a familiarity she's never shown before. "Sir, there's news about my master. I'm going to find him!"

Only then does Xie Songyun realize that everything she'd done had been to get the help of his official authority to find her master.

The usually lenient prefect's face turns as cold as ice.

"You are my subordinate. You may not leave me without my permission."

After leaving Yongzhou, Qing Que has just let out a sigh of relief

when the urgent sound of hoofbeats comes from behind.

She spots the familiar figure in the distance, and her knees begin to tremble.

"I have come to invite you to seek justice at the authorities."

"Since you claim that you once belonged to another, I will rule that the thief's heart be shackled to you for life."

Qing Que has a palm-sized wooden tag that she treasures and won't let anyone touch.

When the other constables gather around her and question her about it, Xie Songyun passes by without a glance, as if he has no interest.

One night, he finally turns thief himself.

His expression is complicated, and his voice trembles. "Where did you get this?"

"Give it back!" Qing Que snatches it back. "It's a dog tag my master gave me. He said that if I ever saw this tag again, he'd definitely recognize me."

Xie Songyun sucks in a sharp breath.

[Bonus Scene]

Xie Songyun: Don't wag your tail while investigating a case.

Qing Que: Sir, I'm not a dog anymore. I don't have a tail!

Xie Songyun: When you smile, it's like you're wagging your tail.

Qing Que: Oh...

Xie Songyun: Except with me.

TIPS:

1. The "master" is a misunderstanding. Both leads are each other's first love, and their feelings for each other are very strong.

2. The female lead retains some doglike traits, such as keen senses of smell and hearing, a knack for running, and the ability to understand dog language.

3. Everything serves the romance between the leads (and their harmonious life together). Anything unrealistic is a liberty taken by the author.

4. The female lead disguises herself as a man early on. The story has complete case arcs, then switches to everyday life after her identity is revealed.
