My Arranged Marriage Partner Is Barking Again [Book Transmigration]

Pei Xingzhou has a secret.

He transmigrated into a book, landing in a melodramatic romance where “he runs, he chases, and neither can escape.” He became the contract-marriage partner of the male lead, Guan Jin, a disposable character there to help the plot along.

As long as he keeps up the aloof persona Guan Jin hates most, helps the male lead and love interest get together when the love interest appears, and waits patiently for Guan Jin to divorce him, he can complete his mission, escape the story, and walk away with a huge divorce settlement to enjoy his freedom.

When Guan Jin is home, he acts cold and distant. Aside from “Mm,” “Oh,” and “All right,” he never says another word.

When Guan Jin goes out, he drops the act at once and returns to his true self, hugging the husky at home and smothering it with affection. “Here I come, adorable puppy!”

Then he realizes that the dog at home is getting smarter and smarter, and Guan Jin's gaze is growing more and more peculiar.

Guan Jin has a secret, too.

Every time he falls asleep, he transmigrates into his own dog's body.

His contract-marriage partner, who seems cool, distant, and taciturn, and is beautiful but boring, turns out to spend every moment he's away hugging the dog and rubbing all over it.

Trapped in the dog's body, Guan Jin gets thoroughly cuddled and rubbed by Pei Xingzhou until he's dizzy and disoriented. He can't reveal his secret, so he can only endure it in silence while searching for a way to escape this bizarre predicament.

After being cuddled so many times, Guan Jin gradually gets used to Pei Xingzhou's hugs and affectionate snuggling.

Until one day, he sees Pei Xingzhou hugging the Samoyed owned by the new neighbor next door, burying his face in its fluffy white fur and rubbing against it like crazy.

Guan Jin: “...!!!”

*

Pei Xingzhou comes home after cuddling the neighbor's Samoyed. He looks up and sees Guan Jin, who rarely comes home, sitting on the living room sofa.

He hasn't had time to wipe the radiant smile completely at odds with his aloof persona from his face when Guan Jin speaks in a cold voice, with a hint of hurt in it:

“How could you go pet someone else's dog?”

[Reading Guide]

1. A silly, unserious comedy. Best read without thinking too hard ( ).

2. The love interest is a fanfic reader. The male lead has no connection whatsoever with the love interest in the book.
