A diary of an awkward, not-quite-official couple living together in a foreign land

Zhu Pingping thinks she and Lu Ze both got unlucky because their names weren't chosen well.

For instance, her credit card was stolen and charged as soon as she arrived in a foreign country, while Lu Ze's bad luck was meeting her.

"A tiger fallen into the plains..." Zhu Pingping lamented.

"...gets picked up by a dog." Lu Ze opened the door to his warm home without expression. "Welcome to my doghouse, Miss Tiger."

"You're too modest. I'm the dog. Woof, woof. Thanks for picking me up."

Lu Ze thinks that foreign countries just don't suit his vibe, but Zhu Pingping has a knack for improving the feng shui. As long as she's by his side, even a land full of dog poop can turn into a place filled with birdsong and flowers.

Zhu Pingping's eyes widened in shock. She finally knew what it meant for the oppressed to sing in triumph: "Then... bark three times?"

"Woof." Lu Ze paused, realizing Zhu Pingping was waiting for more. "Woof, woof."
