Gender bender, female gong and male shou
Blurb
After successfully joining the Interstellar Alliance, Lou Xiao was appointed as the direct assistant to the headquarters' general.
As a spy sent by the enemy, she should have kept a low profile and tried to seem perfectly normal in front of her superior.
But an accident happened on her very first day.
During a routine one-on-one briefing, the general suddenly fell ill without warning.
In his dazed state, his mind automatically filled in the story. With humiliation written across his face, Luan Su lowered himself and slowly knelt.
He rasped, "...Master."
The Interstellar Alliance's general was said to be temperamental and ruthless, with a fearsome reputation that grew more notorious by the day.
Yet no one knew that his mental powers had been damaged in a war, leaving him with a rare post-traumatic disorder.
Specifically, he mistook Lou Xiao for an enemy who had infiltrated headquarters.
And not just any enemy: in his mind, she was a scumbag who would resort to underhanded methods and threaten her subordinate's life to force him to submit.
Lou Xiao: "..."
And so, the general became Lou Xiao's dog.

Luan Su often thought of himself as Lou Xiao's dog.
He believed he had plenty of dignity, but because of this identity, he couldn't resist any command from his master.
The whole Alliance would probably never guess that the general they revered spent his days confidently planning military strategies, then went home at night and knelt, calling someone "Master" over and over.
He endured the humiliation, doing his best to play the part of a well-behaved, loyal dog.
Gradually, it seemed even Luan Su himself accepted this humiliating identity, unable to resist becoming addicted to the occasional tenderness of his master.
He even thought that as long as he could keep their precarious relationship intact, this twisted identity didn't matter.
Until one day, the Interstellar Alliance headquarters suddenly came under attack.
Amid the chaos, he saw his master abandon him.
Without a trace of hesitation.
After that person threw away one end of his collar with their own hands, the rabid dog was no longer well-behaved. He charged straight into the enemy's lair.
At the end of the escape tunnel, he caught up with Lou Xiao, whom he hadn't seen in days.
Dangerous light flickered in Luan Su's eyes as he stared at the prey that had nearly escaped, closing in step by step.
"Will you abandon me a second time, Master?"
