Yinzhen, a dog lover, suddenly begins fainting at unpredictable times. When he wakes up, he's become a dog, though each possession lasts a different amount of time. After a while, Yinzhen realizes that whenever the dog's owner cries, he possesses the dog.
To stop possessing the dog, Yinzhen tries every trick he can think of to keep the girl from crying. But she's so delicate! Was she born to be a crybaby?
Yet as the girl gradually grows stronger, Yinzhen starts to feel uneasy.
When he can no longer possess the dog, he thinks he might as well make the girl his wife and protect her.
After Daiyu gets a dog, every night she dreams of spending time with a young man, watching him live a tumultuous life from illegitimate son to emperor. When her beloved dog dies, the dreams abruptly end.
Then she meets the Fourth Prince. Huh, why does he look so familiar?
Warnings: This differs from history! Lots of creative liberties!
Daiyu's dreams are actually memories of her past life after she transmigrated to the Qing dynasty after dying, existing as a ghost.
