I really got a Samoyed. I'm not kidding.

Cool beauty boss x pure-hearted Samoyed

“Legend has it that humans and puppies once made a pact. Humans would spare puppies a lifetime of hunger and cold, and puppies would guard the human heart, keeping loneliness and despair at bay.”

After being driven to the verge of tears by her boss for the umpteenth time, Jian Ge decided to quit and start her own business.

Well, she did become a boss, but her main business turned out to be... spicy hot pot skewers.

She used to barely say a word during a day at work. Now...

“Hey, miss, careful, the tofu puffs are hot!” (smiling)

“Auntie, you'd like me to cut up the pig intestines, right?” (nodding and bowing)

“Big brother, I've got duck skin skewers ready in the pot. I'll pack some for you!” (sincere)

“Oh, no scallions or cilantro, got it! Coming right up!” ... (packing briskly)

She's busy every day ordering supplies, threading skewers, cooking them, counting the money, and cleaning up, and she's actually pretty happy.

She also has one special regular: a Samoyed. The Samoyed doesn't want anything but corn sausages.

With its snow-white, fluffy coat, chubby little paws, and naturally upturned mouth, it is absolutely adorable to Jian Ge. Every time it eats a corn sausage, she takes the chance to bury her face in its fur. And wouldn't you know it, the dog is named Yumi.

Later, Little Yumi stopped showing up for some reason. But the owner of the cat cafe next door brought over a young man named Yu Mi to apply for a job. He didn't want a salary, just room and board.

Jian Ge looked at the young man in front of her. His smile and peach-blossom eyes seemed more and more familiar the longer she stared.

And she'd also noticed... Why were the corn sausages in the shop disappearing so quickly?

Then one day... she caught Yu Mi sneaking into the restroom, hunched over. She opened the door, and...!?

Who can tell her where that white tail came from?

“Yu Mi, be honest with me. Are you a fox spirit?”

The story of how the adorable, handsome dog boy I kindly took in turned out to actually be a dog.

Reading guide:

1. A happy shopkeeping diary about one person and one dog! The most tragic part of the whole story might be the malicious competitor who's cursed never to make ten thousand yuan.

2. One true pairing + six-year age gap, older woman and younger man romance + a genuinely younger puppy-like boyfriend

3. The male lead is a silly dog who only knows how to treat the female lead well.
