Before transmigrating into a book, Pei Yuan was a poor scholar who had spent ten years studying by the light of a cold window. He won third place in the imperial examinations, only to catch the sinister emperor's eye with a single glance.
From then on, every night, a small sedan chair would stop in the back courtyard of the Pei residence to take him to the emperor's chambers.
Rumors of the palace always carried the sound of the top scholar's muffled sobs.
Fortunately, those hard days were over. Pei Yuan opened his eyes to find himself the only son of the richest family in Jing City, doted on by everyone, a thousand years later.
What excited Pei Yuan even more was that the dog emperor had transmigrated into the son of a servant working for the wealthy family next door.
Although he'd only read the first half of the book, Pei Yuan knew that the dog emperor, Duan Tang, had a miserable fate. Even though he worked his way through school and got into an elite academy, he was still bullied relentlessly.
Pei Yuan rubbed his hands together in excitement. Was it finally his turn to force the dog emperor into submission?
Force: Pei Yuan forcibly dragged the dog emperor from next door to his side and looked down at him. "From today on, you're my lackey. Remember your place. Oh, go dye your hair blond first. It'll suit you better."
Take: Pei Yuan took away Duan Tang's long-held first-place ranking, stripping the dog emperor of the one advantage he could take pride in at the academy. He gloated, "Now you can see what it feels like to be the one underneath!"
Extort: Pei Yuan pulled out a box of cash and threw money around, ordering the dog emperor about with utter arrogance. "Go book me a private room full of male models! I'm ready to spend."
Seize: To stay in character, Pei Yuan snatched away the love letter the protagonist bottom had given the dog emperor and crowed, "I'll take that!"
Pei Yuan gradually realized that Duan Tang really was born to be an emperor. No matter how much Pei Yuan forced him into submission, the dog emperor not only didn't feel humiliated, he seemed to enjoy it.
So Pei Yuan went all out, determined to see Duan Tang finally lose his composure!

Once the first half of the novel, the only part Pei Yuan knew, ended and the second half began, a wealthy family discovered that the son they'd raised for eighteen years had been switched at birth.
Duan Tang was immediately taken back and became the real young master, adored by everyone.
So who was the poor, unlucky fake young master?
Pei Yuan: Me :)

At the banquet celebrating the real young master's return, Duan Tang arrived in formal attire. He walked over to Pei Yuan, who was huddled in a corner, hooked a finger around his trembling waist, and gently stroked his face. His words brimmed with meaning. "Top scholar, why have you stopped forcing me into submission?"
Pei Yuan dropped to his knees in an instant, trembling. "Your Majesty, I have learned my lesson. Please spare me."
Pei Yuan figured that now the dog emperor was the real young master, he, the fake one, had better run for it.
Duan Tang clutched Pei Yuan's suitcase, eyes red, and finally lost his composure. "You're trying to run away again?!"
