[Restrained, Self-Controlled, Scheming Snake-Like Emperor Gong VS Loyal Dog Bodyguard Wolfdog Shou]
Chu Yu had ruled the realm for many years. The people lived in peace and prosperity, and all under heaven was harmonious. There was only one person he had ever let down.
His bodyguard commander, Dingguang, had always kept his master in his heart. He fought his way out of the Purple Radiance Hall, covered in blood, and only then earned the right to stand by his side.
But his master did not love him. His master warned him to remember his place, so he obediently obeyed and dared not overstep. When his master was to marry, he endured the pain and watched his words and actions for fear that his master might see his foolish hope.
Years later, Chu Yu happened to find the lock of hair Dingguang had cut off for him, and regretted the chance they had lost...
Day after day, Dingguang stood guard over Chu Yu as he brought peace to the realm. Just as he always had, he kept watch at his emperor's door, silently gazing at him.
In a daze, it seemed he had just had a dream.
... ...
"Congratulations! Even after getting married, you two should still come out and have fun. Don't spend all day glued to Dingguang!"
Dingguang felt the world spin. His head was fuzzy, and a faint voice reached his ears.
Chu Yu sent the person away before waking Dingguang.
Married? To his master?
"Dingguang, wake up... ..."
"Master... ..."
As soon as Dingguang spoke, Chu Yu saw a fluffy tail swishing behind him.
"Uh... ... We don't know where we are, and this place seems strange... Let's wait and see for now..."
Chu Yu stared at the big tail, itching to touch it, and gritted his teeth to hold himself back.
"Master, your subordinate... ..."
"First, call me something else. Call me husband. We're married..."
What? Even in his fantasies, Dingguang would never dare to be so presumptuous.
He really had married his master!
On their wedding night, they did the most intimate things together.
The people here had fantastical magic. All kinds of beautiful and strange creatures took human form, like the demons in storybooks.
"Dingguang, are you a dog demon? Why do you have a tail?"
Dingguang thought his master seemed a little strange. How had his usually cool, rational master become so wickedly playful?
But Dingguang was obedient.
"Your subordinate doesn't know. I'll do whatever you say, Master."
"It looks like we won't find a way back anytime soon. We might as well... ... live well here... ..."
Chu Yu didn't want to leave.
In this strange, bizarre, dazzling world, they were the only two outsiders, and they had only each other.
The red ribbon Chu Yu had left behind in his memories was tied around Dingguang's hand once more.
... ...
"You are the emperor of all under heaven, and my master. Your subordinate would never dare to overstep."
Hearing Dingguang's confession, Chu Yu felt a wave of aching bitterness rise in his heart.
"Is it because I once let you down, and even if you had another life, you still wouldn't want to love me?"
"No. Your subordinate will always belong to you, and will always be loyal."
Right. Only loyalty... ...
Fine. Chu Yu clenched his teeth.
"Come here. Let me pet your tail."
Dingguang remembered his master's warning and didn't dare overstep. But his pheromones drove him on, and the more he tried to resist, the more he longed to draw near.
Chu Yu ruffled Dingguang's fur all over, making him purr.
What should he do? Why was this body so sensitive? The base of his tail felt so sore. Would his master be displeased if he made a sound?
His master was more than satisfied.
Dingguang's words only ever made his heart ache. It was better to make him purr with pleasure.
