Zhou Mingzhen lived in a small town for sixteen years before being brought back to the Zhou family. She felt like a withered blade of grass, trampled by anyone and everyone.
At first, she pretended to be gentle and harmless, meekly getting by in this household. Later, she couldn't keep up the act anymore and went all in on throwing her weight around like a newly rich person playing the bully.
After all, every single one of them bullied her.
Her eldest brother, Zhou Boyan, was arrogant and cold. He treated her like a plant, pruning away whatever he didn't like.
Su Yunqi, the assistant her father had assigned to her, was mild-mannered and always smiling, yet strict and inflexible. He only obeyed her father, never her, and even reported on her.
Then there was Qi Yanhui at school, who snapped at her like a mad dog every day.
Zhou Mingzhen thought life was unbearably dull.
Until one day, she saw Pei Lin being trampled underfoot. His clothes were covered in dirt, but his refined features were full of defiance.
How interesting, she thought.
She slapped some money against his face. "You're mine now."
Pei Lin was Zhou Mingzhen's dog. He watched coldly as she hid herself away like a hedgehog, and mocked her for being too close to see the truth.
She thought Zhou Boyan was cold and harsh toward her, never realizing that his sharp gaze was like a lion's, watching everyone who dared covet her.
Su Yunqi seemed gentle and harmless, always restricting her freedom. But for her, he softened time and again, and had already become a devoted follower who did whatever she asked.
As for Qi Yanhui, ever since Pei Lin arrived, he had finally been willing to spare some of his attention from Zhou Mingzhen. He shot Pei Lin a blatant warning, but Pei Lin only smiled provocatively.
He was different from the others. He wouldn't compete with them for her.
After all, he was only Zhou Mingzhen's dog.
Whatever Zhou Mingzhen told him to do, he did. Whoever Zhou Mingzhen wanted to be with...
No. She could only be his master, and his alone.
