The Brooding Villain Begs to Be My Dog

Coming soon: After-School Hours with My Celestial Dragon Fiancé. Please add it to your favorites. Blurb at the bottom.

■ Gentle, cunning beauty with overwhelming strength x gloomy, unhinged young villain who cheers him on | Skin hunger and severe separation anxiety

Nangong Zhengren transmigrates into a cultivation novel about a domineering hero and becomes the male lead's brother-in-law.

He's bound to a villain System, the kind that wants him to kill off every protagonist.

He soon discovers that the story's worldline doesn't quite match the original novel.

The most obvious difference is that the male lead's aunt, who was supposed to die in the opening by sacrificing herself to take a demon down with her, is alive and well.

System: Your ultimate mission is to kill her.

Nangong Zhengren: But this gorgeous big sister is so thoughtful and gentle, and she even calls me a good boy...

System: There's no saving him. He ran into a top-tier seductress the second he left the newbie village.

By the time he comes to his senses, he's already fallen for her.

But under the System's threat, their love is one he can never confess.

Until years later, when he suffers a crushing defeat and becomes his beloved's prisoner.

In the dungeon, their fingers intertwined, he pants heavily.

It turns out his beloved was never some aloof, otherworldly immortal untouched by the ways of the world.

She's a female ghost even more twisted than he is.

A real ghost, the kind who turns her magic into tentacles, wraps them around his neck, and makes him choke.

Nangong Zhengren: What do I do? I love her even more now.

I really want to be her dog.

That night, she bends down, takes his face in her hands, and asks in a bewitching voice, looking down at him, “A-Zheng, why won't you behave?”

If he could start over, Nangong Zhengren thinks hazily, maybe he'd be a good boy.

Maybe, even if the System might erase him for it, he wouldn't do anything bad ever again.

He doesn't want to disappoint her again.

When he opens his eyes again, Nangong Zhengren has returned to the year he first transmigrated.

Transmigrating to another world is rare, and getting a second chance after a bad ending is even rarer. He has to make the most of it.

So one day, when his big sister absentmindedly strokes his face as if he were a dog, he desperately suppresses the grin threatening to spread across his face. Carefully, he lays his fingers over her hand, then slowly clasps it.

“Big Sister, marry me.”

He kneels on the ground, wraps his arms around her waist, and loudly declares in front of everyone, “I'll be a good dog!”

Then the domineering male lead beats him to a pulp.

★Noble academy | Gentle, manipulative commoner with big ambitions x gloomy, delicate Celestial Dragon

At a party, Shen Jiwei is asked what her fiancé is like.

Speaking as a teacher, Lu Zongheng is the kind of student every teacher would like. He's so normal that he seems out of place in the capital's military university, where the sons and daughters of powerful families gather and melodrama is everywhere.

His sunny, comforting warmth isn't an act.

It's the kind of quality only a child raised under the protection of impenetrable dark wings, in a rare pocket of warmth within a cold-blooded family, could possess.

From birth, he's never had to know the feeling of worrying so much about his future that he wants to die.

After all, while she was losing sleep every night over her associate professor review, he was already being courted by the dean and professors at parties.

“He's exactly the kind of delicate white lotus I hate most,” Shen Jiwei says.

Teacher Shen is my fiancée. That's a secret between the two of us.

She's gentle and elegant, and she's also an outstanding teacher. Her classes always have the highest attendance. She's beautiful, and her teaching ability matches her impressive credentials.

Everyone loves her, but some people take advantage of her kindness and push their luck.

The disgust on her face when a message pops up on her brain-computer in the middle of class, the helpless way she heads to the underground garage as soon as class ends, the broken pen in the office trash can: they all tell me one thing.

Maybe my fiancée needs some after-school time to unwind.

I send her an invitation on her brain-computer, asking her to go shopping with me that afternoon. As always, even though she's busy, she doesn't turn me down.

“So, don't bother Teacher anymore.” I wipe the blood splattered across my face and do my best to sound pleasant, but the man at my feet seems unable to hear me.

But it doesn't matter. The obstacle that might have kept her from enjoying her after-school hours has been removed. Now we're in for a relaxing, pleasant afternoon.

*

The main text is in third person from the female lead's perspective. The story opens with her at 28 and him at 18.

Romance-focused, everyday life, with a touch of dark obsession.

Charming Mary Sue female lead, experienced woman and virginal men, with a rivalry-filled harem and mad dogs tearing at each other's hair. There are lots and lots of male love interests, all intensely devoted to her, though she won't necessarily return every one of their feelings. The male lead is the one who ends up with her.

The female lead is very capable, but this isn't a power fantasy.

No romance while the teacher-student relationship is ongoing.

Theme: A healthy, happy, beautiful life
