Female lead falls in love after marriage | Male lead's secret crush comes true
Ex vs. new love | Seventy percent sweetness
[Matchmaker at the Roujia Weize matchmaking agency for pets & a developer tycoon who's... pretty innocent, actually]
The day after her boyfriend broke up with her through the silent treatment, Xu Zhiyan accepted her parents' financial help and opened a "pet matchmaking agency" in a bustling part of the city. There was one condition: she had to marry Jin Shangzhou, the Jin family's heir, who had just returned from overseas.
Using her unstable business as an excuse, she kept putting off the wedding. Jin Shangzhou never complained. For a whole year, he played the role of her fiancé, treating her and her family well without ever crossing the line.
Her business was going nowhere, and Xu Zhiyan finally gave in to her fate.
Maybe having a gentle, refined husband wouldn't be so bad?
On the wedding day, the Alaskan Malamute she'd adopted with her ex-boyfriend refused to eat. She spent ages coaxing him. "Eat a little, Xiaozhuo. Your new dad will treat you well. These meat strips are imported and cost tens of thousands a bag. They're delicious."
Xiaozhuo was gloomy, but came alive at the wedding, racing all over the lawn with a diamond ring worth tens of millions on his back.
Especially when he saw Jin Shangzhou cup Xu Zhiyan's face, gaze at her with tender devotion, and lean close to her ear, all those memories came flooding back. He leaped up, knocked Jin Shangzhou to the ground, and barked at him. "Don't touch A Xu! I've hated you from the start, you shameless beast in human clothing!!!"
The dog spoke, leaving the guests dumbfounded.
Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Zhiyan reluctantly explained what had happened.
She and her ex-boyfriend had found Xiaozhuo together. A bad person had damaged his vocal cords, leaving him unable to speak, until her ex-boyfriend invented a device that gave Xiaozhuo the chance to talk.
But it used her ex-boyfriend's voiceprint.
"I'm sorry. If you think this is humiliating, we can cancel the wedding right now."
In the lounge, Jin Shangzhou pulled off his tie with one hand and wrapped it around his wrist, where three dog-claw marks were visible. He tugged open his shirt collar, revealing a collarbone covered in red marks, and closed in on her like a predator. "I'm allergic to dog hair. If Xiaozhuo is going to live with us, shouldn't you take responsibility for me all the way?"
Wait, what? Is that even legal?
After they got married, Xu Zhiyan spent the day busy with her business and the evenings busy taking responsibility for her husband. Life was so good she could hardly believe it.
Until one day, her ex-boyfriend showed up to fight her for Xiaozhuo.
"Where's that barking coming from?" Jin Shangzhou put an arm around Xu Zhiyan and leaned close to her cheek. To anyone watching, it looked like he was whispering in her ear. "Wifey, I'm allergic to dogs. Tell him to go away."
[Bonus Scene]
One day, hashtags like #Did Qiqi Pet Matchmaking Copy Others? #Fake Persona #Who Is the Top Matchmaker in the Pet World? began trending.
As a partner of the Qiqi Pet Matchmaking app, the Jin Group immediately held a press conference, and a secret love that had been buried for years finally became public knowledge.
On the screen, page after page of yellowed draft paper was covered in the initial ideas for a pet matchmaking agency. On the backs of the pages were countless repetitions of one line: "Xu Zhiyan, be my wife."
Reading Guide:
