The Puppy Submitted an Application for a Soul-Tying Duet

[Silk Thread]: Anomaly Item No. 03 of the Heaven Class.

Its property: forcibly creating a nonexistent causal connection. No one except the user can detect anything abnormal about this connection.

Xiao Wuming is an anomaly investigator and the custodian of [Silk Thread]. He loves using its properties to investigate anomalous phenomena.

For example, one day a strange phenomenon appeared. More than a dozen people vanished from a city, all of them newlywed brides.

Xiao Wuming waved his hand and activated Silk Thread, creating a causal connection for himself: he was a poor bride, ill-treated by the wrong man and abandoned after being used by a scumbag, with nowhere to go but to seek refuge with distant relatives in this city.

The causal connection was established. Since it fit the anomaly's requirements so well, the anomaly immediately turned its attention toward him.

Xiao Wuming smiled as he instructed the field agent beside him: Once the anomaly takes me away, we'll follow the trail. When you get my signal that I've found the missing brides, come in swinging.

The field agent shook his head, eyes glistening with tears. I want to go with you.

Xiao Wuming: ?

The field agent looked like a loyal little puppy. I was wrong to let you down back then. This time, I'll stay by your side and protect you.

Xiao Wuming: ??

He watched as the causal thread for "the scumbag who used and abandoned Xiao Wuming" in [Silk Thread] landed on the puppy.

The causal connection was established.

Xiao Wuming panicked. Why are you so eager to play the scumbag in the Silk Thread scenario?

The puppy looked obedient and a little flushed. I'm not a scumbag...

I'm your husband.

Xiao Wuming was once a genius investigator at the Management Bureau. In his youthful arrogance, he thought every anomaly could be contained by his own hand.

Then the anomalies went berserk and escaped en masse. He tried to stop them alone, only to have his foundation completely destroyed and his body left in ruins.

Xiao Wuming had planned to recapture all the escaped anomalies and then quietly pass away himself.

But a stubborn little puppy held him tightly in his arms, fed him delicious little treats, and said in a low voice, But I won't let you.

Xiao Wuming chewed with his cheeks puffed out and blinked. Maybe... staying alive isn't so bad?

Reader's guide:

1. A post-apocalyptic world with anomalous creatures and phenomena. The Anomaly Management Bureau is responsible for containing and managing them. The seme is a field agent, and the uke is an investigator.

2. A seme who goes from obedient puppy to dominant wolf king x a brilliant, flirtatious uke. One fights, the other thinks: a match made in heaven.

3. At its heart, this is a story about the leads falling in love while taking on all kinds of causal identities in front of anomalies. Sweet, satisfying, and indulgent.
