· A genuinely happy puppy of a protagonist: sincere, cheerful, and full of joy! After first turning human, he's a bit of a naive sweetheart and gets tricked and taken advantage of plenty, calling everyone "pretty big sister" or "handsome big brother."
· The protagonist has a bit of a universal-heartthrob vibe. After all, who doesn't love a cute puppy?! (I certainly do!)
· The love interest has split personalities. After the protagonist is reborn into the real world at the end, there's a scene where his mom gives his "son-in-law" a hard time. After all, what mother wouldn't be mad if some "blondie" suddenly showed up and whisked away her sweet, soft little darling?
Jiang Shanhui is a well-behaved golden retriever. After dying in a car accident while saving his gentle, beautiful owner, he is bound to a quick transmigration System called the "Tool Character Acting System." His task is to play either a devoted male supporting character or a cannon-fodder villain in the tumultuous love stories of each main couple, and bring their happiness rating up to the maximum. If he completes his missions and earns enough points, he'll get the chance to be reborn and return to his mom.
After the little white dumpling System patiently finishes explaining everything, it's just about to ask whether he accepts the mission when it sees its newly human Host gazing at it with clear, foolish puppy eyes. He sheepishly says, "Sorry, I didn't understand what you said. Could you tell me again?"
As he speaks, the System could swear it sees a tail swishing pitifully behind its little Host.
The System, which prides itself on having no feelings, instantly feels its heart get hit. It rubs its Host's head and, in a high-pitched voice, repeats the explanation twice, then three times... until its adorable little Host understands.
Determined to get back to his mom, the puppy readily accepts the mission and clenches his fist to cheer himself on. "You can do it, Jiang Shanhui!"
And so Jiang Shanhui begins his spectacular career as a quick transmigration worker.
It's just that, for some reason, whenever he works on a mission, the two main characters who are supposed to fall in love end up fighting over him...
First arc: A funny, meme-loving gaming streamer puppy x a stern, domineering CEO love interest.
Jiang Shanhui is transmigrated into the role of the sharp-tongued childhood friend who has a crush on the main love interest. To play his part, he spends every day browsing the internet and memorizing memes, then uses them all in his gaming streams.
One day, the CEO protagonist, whose eyes ache from staring at documents, accidentally clicks into a gaming livestream. There he sees a streamer with a sweet puppy face and a wickedly funny mouth, cracking jokes with every sentence.
When the game character encounters a bizarre blind date and tells the player, "You've had a tough time," the streamer sighs pitifully. "It's not tough. My life just sucks!"
The guy on the blind date continues, "I'll treat you well." The streamer curls his lip. "No empty promises. Send me two thousand and show me what you've got!"
His deadpan delivery makes it even funnier.
The CEO's usually lifeless face gradually breaks into a smile.
Suddenly, a little liveliness stirs in the barren sea of his life.
The aloof CEO, who hasn't laughed in ages, lets out a rare laugh in that livestream. From then on, he becomes Jiang Shanhui's number one supporter.
With his incredible ability to spend money, he gets Jiang Shanhui's contact information. He sends him good morning and good night messages every day, asks if he's eaten, checks his social media hundreds of times a day, and quietly memorizes all his likes and habits...
The CEO plans to learn a little more about his favorite streamer before making a move. Then one day, he sees a new employee at his company enter the stream and confess to Jiang Shanhui. He can't sit still any longer...
No more waiting. If he waits any longer, someone else will get his man...
Second arc: A pampered, spoiled villainous male insect puppy x a ruthless female insect general who's only sweet and obedient around the protagonist...
Jiang Shanhui, the male insect and former fiance of the main love interest, diligently plays his role. He lashes the main love interest and lifts his pointed chin as he scolds, "This is your punishment!"
In the original story, the main love interest was supposed to angrily beat him up and break off their engagement. Instead, he swallows and voluntarily places his face in Jiang Shanhui's hand, saying hoarsely, "Then please keep punishing me, Your Highness."
Jiang Shanhui is stunned and blushing. Where did this pervert come from?! This isn't how the book said things would go!
The System watches from the side, biting a handkerchief as it wails, "Don't reward him, baby!"
Third arc: A scheming, sweet-talking variety-show puppy x a gentle, award-winning actor...
Breaking news: The aloof star is going on a variety show for love! He's doting on and pursuing a B-list variety-show personality with everything he's got!
But after everyone sees the happy puppy on the show, constantly acting cute and calling everyone "pretty big sister" or "handsome big brother," greeting the camera with a heart gesture every morning...
Well, it seems they've all fallen for him too. What are they supposed to do now?!
Other arcs to be decided. Suggestions welcome.
