A Dandy, but Everyone's Favorite

(Updated every other day, still at 11 p.m.)

[Cheerful and lively, never overthinks, but quick to bristle and hold a grudge]

[Beautiful and ruthless, fiercely protective and shamelessly biased, but has a long road ahead to win his beloved back]

Meng Yi'an transmigrates into the son of the prime minister of the Great Zhao dynasty.

His powerful prime minister father may be a scumbag who plays with people's feelings and is attracted to both men and women, but he spoils Meng Yi'an rotten.

With a scumbag dad to take advantage of, Meng Yi'an causes a ruckus and runs wild at the Imperial College, happily becoming a textbook playboy.

Who could have guessed that trouble would come out of nowhere while he sat at home? Overnight, everyone around him seemed to change.

His proud, flirtatious, and fickle friend, the heir to a noble house, grows increasingly unruly. He looks at Meng Yi'an like a big cat guarding its food, unwilling to let anyone else covet him.

His brilliant academic rival appears as pure and noble as moonlight, but is actually patient and scheming. He uses Meng Yi'an's father to advance his plans, one step at a time, deploying all 108 of his schemes in turn.

The foreign prince who comes to study looks honest and straightforward, but his intentions are impure. He not only keeps pestering Meng Yi'an, but insists on taking him home to help build up the grasslands.

Worst of all is the current emperor's younger brother, the renowned General of the Western Campaigns, His Highness Prince Yu, handsome, vicious, and even more ruthless at heart. He seems to enjoy setting Meng Yi'an up, and actually wants to abduct him back to his manor.

???

Is this right?

Meng Yi'an realizes he's become a hot commodity, and everyone wants a bite of him.

I treat you all like brothers, but you treat me like a wife?!

The sunny, cheerful, straight-as-an-arrow Meng Yi'an panics, hurries to graduate from the Imperial College, and decides to turn over a new leaf and firmly leave his playboy days behind.

I don't have time to fool around with you anymore. My goal is to place first in the imperial examinations.

The following is a preview of an upcoming novel. Please add it to your reading list!

My Brother the Regent's Shady Little Brother -> Click the bulletin board to go straight there

My brother is the regent, but I became a dog.

Ever since I was little, I've known my brother is the backbone of our family. Our parents always told me to listen to him. I understood why when I was three, because that's the year they squandered the entire estate of the marquis's family!

As it turned out, my brother lived up to everyone's expectations. He went from heir to a cash-strapped marquis's estate to regent, and successfully carried the whole family to success.

Meanwhile, I became the useless playboy I'd always dreamed of being.

But dreams are lovely, while reality is cruel.

After becoming the regent's younger brother, I discovered that my brother was a control freak.

As the regent's brother, I had more pocket money, but fewer chances to spend it. My status went up, but my opportunities to show off went down.

My brother wouldn't let me invite friends over. He wouldn't let me drink, gamble, visit brothels, or do anything else. He even tried to control how many bowls of rice I ate in a day!

Unbelievable!

Shen Yan dropped his chopsticks. "I'd rather be a dog than live like this!"

Then he really did become a dog.

Big round eyes, pointy ears, short legs, and fluffy fur all over: a little mongrel.

Looking at himself, not even good enough to be called a pedigree dog, Shen Yan burst into tears.

After countless hardships and all his skills at acting cute, rolling around, and pretending to be good, he finally went from being a filthy little mongrel to getting onto his germophobic brother's bed.

Then he discovered, to his delight, that as long as he snuggled up to his brother as a puppy, he could turn back into a person.

From then on, Shen Yan lived a sneaky little doggy life.

As a dog, he snuggled up to his brother of his own accord. As a human, he snuggled up to him against his will.

Until all that cuddling started to feel wrong.

"Brother, wake up! I'm your little brother!"

"Who says your little brother can't be your wife?"

"Shen Xu! Am I your dog or are you mine?!"
