Cen Weiyue has social anxiety. She doesn't like going out or interacting with people.
She has been single for over twenty years, and the one time she confessed her feelings to someone, she was rejected.
Her friend couldn't stand to see her like this and recommended a full-dive dating game, supposedly to help her practice interacting with people and enjoy the feeling of being in love.
The game is an open world with a high degree of freedom. You can pursue different game characters, grow vegetables, decorate your home, and raise pets. There's plenty to do.
After entering the game, Cen Weiyue isn't interested in much besides raising dogs.

After waking up, Pei Zichuan discovers that he's become a dog, Cen Weiyue's dog, and a dog in the game, no less.
His former classmate, once shy and introverted, kisses and strokes him like crazy in the game. She calls him her darling every day and deliberately puts on a baby voice:
“Who's this adorable little puppy? It's our darling!”
“Come here, darling, and let big sis give you a kiss!”
The worst part is that Cen Weiyue pets and cuddles him every day, which would be bad enough, but she even brings different men home!
Later, one day, the person Cen Weiyue once confessed to, a former classmate she hadn't seen in years, suddenly shows up at her home.
But the stray puppy Cen Weiyue recently adopted is extremely protective of her and barks furiously at Pei Zichuan.
The noise gives Cen Weiyue a headache, and she soothes him. “Darling, stop barking.”
Pei Zichuan answers without thinking, “I wasn't barking.”
Cen Weiyue gives him a strange look: ?
Pei Zichuan comes to his senses: ...
1. One-on-one romance, happy ending.
2. Full-dive game, with some original worldbuilding.
3. The game's romanceable characters are artificial intelligences and will not develop self-awareness.
4. The male lead is depicted as a dog on the cover. Artist: Huahua Yangzhu.
Theme: Be kind to animals.
