A Metaphysics Master’s Daily Dog-Beating Routine

After dying, Xu Qingyou, the National Preceptor of the Great Tang, wakes up in a book as a drama-queen supporting female character with the same name.

The supporting character has a loyal husband who loves her wholeheartedly. But once they make their fortune, she kicks him out with nothing, keeps all the money for herself, and chases after a flirtatious younger man.

The flirtatious younger man is a scheming, two-faced green tea. He neither rejects nor pursues the original Xu Qingyou, and takes no responsibility, all while keeping seven, eight, nine, ten... other backup lovers on the hook.

Her husband, Li Sizhe, is the male lead of the book, while Xu Yunran, her stepsister, is the female lead.

Xu Yunran is devoted to the male lead. When he falls on hard times, she comforts him, and the two of them join forces to deal with the supporting character.

In the end, the supporting character gets swindled out of all her money by her flirtatious lovers, is sent to prison by the leads working together, and dies of depression. What a miserable ending.

Xu Qingyou looks at the name the original woman saved her loyal husband's contact under on WeChat: "Li Scoundrel."

The original woman's contempt is written all over it.

Xu Qingyou's red lips curl into a smile. Why chase after a scumbag playboy when a loyal dog is so much better? She really has no taste.

The next day, the playboy invites Xu Qingyou to a haunted house.

To his surprise, the moment he sees a real ghost, he gets so scared he runs straight out the door, then shuts it behind him, leaving Xu Qingyou and the ghost staring wide-eyed at each other.

Xu Qingyou knocks on the door twice for show. When the playboy makes no move to open it, she gives a cold laugh and smashes the door to pieces with one slap. Then she grabs a stick and beats the playboy nearly senseless.

Even the ghost is left at a loss. QAQ

The playboy bursts into tears: Sis, sis, I was wrong, sob!

Xu Qingyou: Get lost! V-V

After beating the playboy, Xu Qingyou goes home, opens the door, and pouts at the man inside. "Honey, I'm back from fooling around! 0v0"

The man's hand pauses as he stirs the wok. "Wash your hands. Dinner will be ready soon."

Xu Qingyou looks at her loyal dog in the kitchen and likes him more with every passing second. Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, fit without his clothes and lean in them. He's honest and earnest, and his cooking is delicious. She's never met a man with so much going for him.

After spending more than twenty years single, Xu Qingyou decides to return to her old profession: catch ghosts, make money, and keep her loyal dog.

One night, the loyal dog in Xu Qingyou's eyes accidentally sees her phone. The contact names she has for men include: Little Puppy, Playboy Dog, Loyal Dog, Wolf Dog, Impotent Dog, Rich Second-Generation Dog, Poor Dog, Single Dog...

Loyal Dog: ...So all men are dogs in her eyes. QAQ

Wait, as the domineering CEO, does this mean I've been cheated on again? V_V
