[Height and build difference (191/181), strength difference; younger puppy-like wolf who can switch between sweet and fierce x older, gentle, teasing type; 1v1, each other's first love]

Top-tier star Yuan Yi comes from a wealthy family. He's handsome and cool, tall with long legs, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and has an eight-pack...

By every measure, he's the perfect boyfriend.

Yet his lover, Shen Shuyu, who is five years older, dumped him without warning. Shen wouldn't even let him see the dog they'd raised together.

His friends guessed, "Do you think there's someone else?"

Yuan Yi confidently denied it. "Impossible. No one is better than me!"

As luck would have it, Yuan Yi and Shen Shuyu were cast in a new show together. According to the plot, they would play a couple who were physically drawn to each other and lived in a state of blissful romance every day. But their relationship was built on lies, so one ran, the other chased, and the one being chased couldn't escape...

The plot was cliché, with especially many scenes of kissing, cuddling, and being swept off one's feet.

Given Shen Shuyu's dedication to his work, this show was practically a reward for Yuan Yi!

So what if they'd broken up? If he kissed his wife every day, wouldn't he win him back?

Yuan Yi made up his mind to stick to Shen Shuyu every day and be the most obedient puppy in the world for his wife.

At his wit's end, Shen Shuyu repeated for the hundredth time, "We've already broken up!"

Yuan Yi clutched his hem pitifully. "Yes, yes, I know. But I got together with you when I was twenty-three..."

*

On the 101st day of rejecting Yuan Yi's attempts to get back together, Shen Shuyu opened his eyes in the morning and saw a familiar person lying beside him.

Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, an eight-pack, and gray-brown puppy eyes gazing brightly at him.

Shen Shuyu rubbed his temples in distress. "Last night... let's just pretend nothing happened..."

The puppy yelped, "That was three times! You still don't want to take responsibility? I got together with you when I was twenty-three..."

Coming soon: "Reforming My Boss Is a Work in Progress"

Sensitive, introverted office worker who cries easily x cold, strict, fatherly elite boss / older man / height and build difference

1.

Wen Xu is a typical office drone: gentle and easygoing, not very quick-witted, and always putting his head down and working.

To put it kindly, he's honest. To put it bluntly, he's a bit of a pushover. His colleagues take advantage of him, and his boss doesn't like him either.

Especially that demon of a boss, who's cold-hearted and never has a kind word for him.

One day, when Wen Xu was once again being tormented by his boss until he felt like crying, he discovered that an app called "Boss Makeover" had suddenly appeared on his phone. It was a dress-up game.

Without thinking, Wen Xu named the pixel character "Ji Mingfei."

Ji Mingfei was his demonic boss.

The game required Wen Xu to complete missions to earn points and exchange them for items, and he could unlock more features as well.

Wen Xu casually put a pair of free German shepherd ears on the pixel character Ji Mingfei.

But the very next second, when Wen Xu entered the office, he saw the demon boss Ji Mingfei in a crisp suit, a cold expression on his face, and a pair of fluffy German shepherd ears on his head.

Wen Xu soon became hopelessly addicted to the game and started frantically completing missions.

Smile at the boss three times: 10 points. Make a heart gesture at the boss: 20 points. Get the boss to praise you: 50 points...

Once he had enough points, he could get whatever he wanted: tight leather outfits, sheer mesh clothes, a frog costume, a snow leopard tail...

Wen Xu's mood at work kept improving, and his job went more smoothly, too.

Every day when he saw Ji Mingfei, he no longer cowered with his head down. Instead, he came up with all sorts of ways to sneak glances at him, like he was looking at his own little one.

2.

Ji Mingfei was Wen Xu's boss.

He had every quality office workers hated in a manager: domineering, inflexible, and extremely demanding about work.

A softie like Wen Xu, a quiet pushover who burst into tears at the drop of a hat, really didn't meet his standards.

But one day, Ji Mingfei casually played a dress-up game. The next moment, he saw Wen Xu with red-rimmed eyes and two fluffy rabbit ears growing from his head.

3.

Wen Xu noticed that Ji Mingfei had changed.

When Wen Xu was working late again, Ji Mingfei would sit beside him and guide him through the work, hand over hand, while the snow leopard tail behind him curled unconsciously around Wen Xu's waist.

When Wen Xu was overwhelmed and hiding in the emergency stairwell to cry, Ji Mingfei appeared in a white shirt and black trousers, wearing a waist cincher and leather gloves, and offered him a tissue.

When someone deliberately gave Wen Xu a hard time at a business dinner, Ji Mingfei stepped in front of him and unfurled six enormous demonic wings.

Ji Mingfei's gaze grew gentler and gentler. Gradually, Wen Xu no longer dared to meet his eyes or open the game app.

Then one day, a notification popped up in the game: his little character had been neglected for too long and was about to be deleted.

Wen Xu hurriedly logged in. The pixel character Ji Mingfei sent him a screen full of red roses.
