The Husky Is Not Happy About Working for You

Jiang Lin is the child other people’s parents talk about: cold and handsome, academically outstanding, so perfect he seems almost inhuman. But what people don’t know is that Jiang Lin is a shapeshifter who turns into a husky. Before his mother died, she repeatedly warned him: Don’t let anyone find out you’re a dog. Don’t let anyone know you’re stupid. So Jiang Lin spends six years anxiously keeping up appearances in the Jiang family. Everyone thinks the illegitimate son the Jiangs took back is brooding and hard to get along with. The disabled old man of the Bai family wants an arranged marriage and chooses Jiang Lin. “Do a good job for the Bai family,” the Jiang family patriarch says pointedly, expecting his clever son to understand the hint: they’ll work together from the inside to strip the Bai family of everything. Unfortunately, beneath Jiang Lin’s handsome, raised brows, his brain only manages to remember the “main point”: Do a good job for the Bai family. Strip the family bare (X) Become a corporate drone (√) On his first day at the Bai family, Jiang Lin receives his father’s instructions: “Find out everything you can about the Bai family and locate the weak spots.” We dogs are the best at finding things! Jiang Lin makes sure to remember. A month later, Jiang’s father finally gets an update. Jiang Lin: “I found seventeen. Three in finance, five in the supply chain, and nine in overseas operations.” Jiang’s father perks up. “Send them to me!” Jiang Lin: “I’ve already fixed them.” Jiang’s father: “…” What the hell, who told you to fix them?! Jiang’s father is so furious he has to press his philtrum, but then it dawns on him. His son must be pretending to switch sides to lull Bai Yueqing into a false sense of security. As expected of my son. So devious, so cunning. He gives another order: Keep a close eye on Bai Yueqing. Don’t miss a thing he does. Jiang Lin remembers that too. * Bai Yueqing is a poisonous snake who’s not to be trifled with, an irredeemable lunatic. He hates his fiancé. This elite man is a hypocrite, putting on airs and behaving like a robot. Every day, Jiang Lin gets up at six on the dot. Bai Yueqing assumes he’s handling confidential files sent over by the Jiang family. He checks the security camera. Jiang Lin is memorizing One Hundred Ways to Talk Like a Smart Person. Bai Yueqing: “…” Something’s off about this guy. The longer he watches, the more obvious it becomes: Jiang Lin isn’t human at all. Have you ever seen the sun at four in the morning? Bai Yueqing has. Because a sneaky little puppy sat on his balcony all night, staring at him with wise, white eyes. * After his true identity is exposed, Jiang Lin stops pretending altogether. Every morning at six, the husky jumps onto the bed and smacks Bai Yueqing awake with a paw. At seven, he brings over Bai Yueqing’s tie in his mouth. At eight, he pushes his wheelchair to take him to work. In the evening, he sits on the desk to supervise him working overtime. Bai Yueqing is forced into a life more regimented than a dog’s. Finally, one day, his mental illness erupts. The madness he has suppressed for years surges up. Everything irritates him, and he suddenly thinks it might be nice if the world were destroyed. Then a little dog hops onto the bed, curls up against his chest, and hums him a puppy song: “A puppy’s body has dog hair, a puppy walks on dog paws…” Bai Yueqing closes his eyes. Fine. One more day.
