When a Beagle Becomes the Tyrant's Therapy Dog

The Turmoil is a classic progression fantasy about a male lead who overthrows a tyrant and becomes emperor in the final years of the Great Liang dynasty.

The tyrant in the original novel is cruel, sinister, and has countless deaths on his hands. He's completely insane.

By sheer coincidence, Le Qie transmigrates into the body of a beagle at the madman's side. In the original ending, the tyrant holds the dog as he burns himself to death.

Even worse, on the very day Le Qie arrives, a minister presents him to the tyrant as an auspicious sign.

The deranged tyrant strolls over with a smile, then swiftly brings down his blade and cuts off the minister's head.

The head rolls to Le Qie's feet, its eyes staring at him, wide open in death.

Le Qie: ...

Noticing his gaze, the tyrant tilts his head, steps over the corpse, and picks up the beagle by one paw.

The heavy stench of blood hits him.

This nutcase... isn't going to chop me up too, is he?!

Le Qie is so terrified that his instincts take over. Tail tucked between his legs, he can't stop himself from barking, "Wer! Wer!"

The tyrant reaches out and clamps a hand around the beagle's muzzle.

"Auspicious sign," he says, his smile fading as his eyes turn cold. "You're so noisy."

.

Le Qie discovers that the beagle's "wer wer" barking can bring the insane tyrant back to his senses.

To avoid being burned to death, he has no choice but to grit his teeth and become the tyrant's therapy dog.

The tyrant is about to execute a remonstrating minister. Le Qie desperately tugs at the blade, barking "wer wer" like he's about to kill someone. Sure enough, the tyrant drops the blade, scowls, and comes over to grab the dog's muzzle.

"So noisy."

The tyrant is about to put his own siblings under house arrest. Le Qie charges into the hall, tears up the imperial edict, knocks over the ink, then proudly barks "wer" as he steps on the tyrant's ink-stained robes. The tyrant stops speaking mid-sentence, narrows his eyes, and pats the dog's head.

"Stop barking."

A rebel general steals the dog, but a few days later, he surrenders of his own accord. Holding Le Qie, tail wagging, he weeps bitterly. "I really can't take it anymore! Your Majesty, please take the dog back... I'll surrender!"

The tyrant: ...

Thanks to Le Qie's diligent efforts to keep him in check, the tyrant has fewer and fewer episodes, and his empire grows ever more secure.

Then, one day, the mischievous Le Qie nearly gets lost. Furious and worried, the tyrant punishes the little beagle for the first time: no extra food tonight.

Le Qie: ? You audacious human! How dare you make a beagle go hungry?!

He leaps angrily into the tyrant's arms, plants all four paws on his thighs, and barks "wer wer" as if showing off his might.

A flash of white light, and the evil beagle transforms right before the tyrant's eyes into a handsome young man with ginger curls.

Le Qie has no idea what happened. Completely naked, he sits on the tyrant's face, puffing out his cheeks as he angrily grabs the man's hair and yells "woof woof" right next to his ear:

"Beagle's hungry! Go! Get the beagle two dishes!"

The tyrant's expression remains cool, but the hand gripping his waist slowly tightens, and his breathing grows heavier.

#Unhinged tyrant × cheeky, adorable beagle (the cheeky kind of cheeky, not the cute kind)

#A lighthearted, goofy, sweet romance at heart. You can set your brain aside for this one.

#Inspired by the Ming dynasty. History buffs, please don't look too closely.

#The original premise just wasn't clicking, and I didn't want to force it and ruin the idea, so I changed it. Sorry! (bows)
