As the perennial runner-up on the grade rankings, Yu Zhi spends every day thinking about how to knock her nemesis off the top spot.
Her nemesis, He Chen, is the undisputed number one.
To their classmates: He's handsome, has a lovely voice, and is a great guy. Anyone who doesn't love him must be blind.
To Yu Zhi: He Chen is a shameless, sharp-tongued jerk and a total dog. Other than his looks, he's got nothing going for him.
One day, Yu Zhi discovers a pet-raising app.
The chibi character on the app's homepage has upright dog ears and a fluffy tail, cute and well-behaved.
And it looks a lot like He Chen.
She downloads it without hesitation.
Order it around! Bully it! Tease it!
[Please set a nickname for your pet]
Yu Zhi: He the Second.
[Please set tasks for your pet to earn coins]
Yu Zhi: Reclaim wasteland √ Perform under a bridge √ Set up a stall to apply screen protectors √
[Task complete. Claim your coins to buy clothes for He the Second]
A row of Lolita dresses hangs in the virtual store.

He Chen has a secret.
When he's especially embarrassed, soft animal ears and a fluffy tail appear.
He's kept the secret hidden for years,
but lately, something's been off.
For the Nth time, he dreams he's become a paper doll. During the day, He Chen plows fields with an old ox, and at night he drives a rickety cart to the foot of a pedestrian bridge to apply screen protectors.
And he has to endure a player's endless teasing:
[Be a good girl and put on the skirt, or I'll pinch your tail.]
He Chen, enduring humiliation, helpless and weak, forced into women's clothes: "... What the hell."
What kind of lousy dream is this?

After half a month of misery,
one day He Chen spots the page for a pet game on Yu Zhi's phone.
It's exactly like his dream.
So after school, he corners Yu Zhi.
"Yu, my classmate."
He Chen leans against the wall and looks at her with a smile that doesn't reach his eyes. "I'm a perfectly respectable young man. You've been teasing me for no reason all this time. Don't you think you owe me some responsibility?"

Back in school, Chen Tingyan and Su Congyi belonged to two completely different circles.
The former was adored by everyone, a top student admired from afar, giving a speech on stage in a perfectly buttoned school uniform. The latter skipped class to date, a wild troublemaker who was punished by having to read her apology over the school's broadcast after writing a love letter.
The day Su Congyi finally won Chen Tingyan over, the whole No. 1 High School forum went wild.
Then, after the college entrance exams, she dumped him.
Years later, at a class reunion.
A young man in a shirt and suit trousers passes Su Congyi with a glass of wine in hand, his expression cool and indifferent, not even glancing her way.
Her friend sighs. "The aloof one came down from his pedestal for you, and you just threw him away after getting him? Is there really no chance?"
Su Congyi smiles carelessly. "I was young and didn't know better. We were just having fun."
Five minutes later.
Miss Su slips out of the private room, turns a corner, and whispers to her ex-boyfriend, "I told Jiajia that if I ever date again, I'm a dog. Remember to keep your distance later."
"You need to keep your distance from me?" Chen Tingyan leans lazily against the wall and looks down at her, one eyebrow raised.
"Weren't we already less than an inch apart last night, little dog Su?"
Su Congyi: ...
