My Ex-Boyfriend Is My Dog Now

During her four years at university,

Li Fu thought she was living an idol-drama plot.

A small-town exam whiz with stunning beauty, she saw her secret crush come true and dated a top-tier rich second-generation heir. Everyone in the law school envied her, certain she would marry into wealth and rise to the top.

Only after graduation did she realize she was clearly living a story about reality. She was dumped as soon as she graduated. Class barriers were insurmountable, and once the male god had had his fun, he had to go home and marry a rich, beautiful woman in a dynastic alliance, like in Succession.

The day he dumped her,

Li Fu cried enough tears to last a lifetime, while Yan Xu stayed composed from beginning to end. He pulled up his pants and got out of bed, poured her water, handed her tissues, and gently wiped the smudged eyeliner from her face with the back of his hand. His voice was tender, yet cruel, as he advised her:

"Li Fu, we're from different worlds. It was very hard to decide to break up, but it's for your own good. Let's not see each other again. Seeing you cry makes me uncomfortable too."

To hell with his discomfort.

She thought she'd have to swallow this bitter humiliation for the rest of her life. She never imagined that one day, her ex-boyfriend would become her dog.

Spending a lifetime with someone you don't love isn't all that difficult.

That's what Yan Xu told himself on the day he got engaged to someone else.

Human genes crave sweets, and he really couldn't resist the distracting allure of Li Fu. But people don't need that many sweet things in their lives. He was hardhearted, and sooner or later he'd kick this unhealthy habit of hers.

Until one year, two years... four years after their breakup, he became Li Fu's dog.

How could a puppy resist loving its owner?

It was simply in his nature.

A frisbee sailed through the air, and his ex-girlfriend gazed at him expectantly.

Stay strong.

Don't go. Sit down.

Yan Xu, if you go, can you even call yourself a man anymore?!

Damn it.

Two or three seconds later, he had the frisbee in his mouth, wagging his tail and nudging her hand with all his might. Whatever. Being a dog was humiliating, but at least he could make her happy.
