Blurb

The reason my mother suggested naming me Jinyue before she died was probably just that she hoped I could live a happy life.

So after my parents died, in order to live happily as they had wished, I took everything from the Shen family: their wealth, their status...

And shamelessly hooked the biggest catch of all, the Shen family's young master.

A magpie occupying a borrowed nest, an orphan with no parents, soon to become the all-powerful Mrs. Shen of the capital.

Power and money are the prerequisites for my happiness.

I thought I was about to enjoy a life free of worries about food and clothing, but on the eve of accepting Shen Chengshuo's confession...

I woke up in the same bed as Yan Beichuan, the screenwriter I'd had a crush on in college.

To make sure Yan Beichuan kept my secret, I used my old tricks: I led him on, ruined his career, and tried to make him obey my every word from then on.

But as things unfolded, they gradually slipped out of control...

He clung to me like a rabid dog, asking only for a place by my side.

On the video call, Shen Chengshuo murmured flirtatious sweet nothings, pleased to see me blush.

He didn't know that while he was talking, Yan Beichuan was kneeling before me, rubbing his cheek against my palm...

A warm current slowly coursed over my skin. I heard Yan Beichuan's low, displeased voice.

"President Shang, am I really not better at wagging my tail than he is...?"

Content warnings:

1. A tangled love story among three people. Both male leads are devoted to the female lead alone, pure in body and mind, and have never been unfaithful.

2. The female lead has a chaotic personality: willful, impulsive, and blunt. She means no harm, but does bad things. Think little demon unleashed, fearless, destructive, mischievous, and loud.

3. The female lead will not be redeemed. She'll face some consequences, but not many. Everyone is bad, not just her. Please don't apply your own moral standards to the story.

4. Yan only starts acting dark and obsessive later on. At first, he's a genuinely kind, nurturing guy.

[I thought the cover suited the female lead, so I used it. It doesn't really suit either male lead, though. I'll commission a new character illustration after the story is finished.]

[The cover's villainess x loyal dog pairing is because both Shen and Yan are loyal dogs, one dark and one sunny.]

[I'll do my best to tell their story. Please try not to hate the female lead. She's only made the mistake that every woman in the world would make.]

This is my first time writing this kind of story, so there may be shortcomings. Thank you for reading.
