After Daddy Takes the Beagle Puppy Home to the Rich Family

[A sugary, satisfying, rich-family pampered darling story with a universally adored protagonist. The doting and melodrama are turned up to the max, with plenty of snide aristocratic banter and jealous rivals clawing at each other for the male lead.]

Ling Lingyu grew up in an orphanage in a poor neighborhood. He was pretty, poor, and foolish, but he was the only son of a wealthy family who had been lost to them.

*

After coming of age, he moved out of the orphanage and took grueling jobs, like working as a bar server. He lived in a basement room that cost a few hundred yuan a month, ate instant noodles that cost a few dimes, and argued with customers every day, making the boss so angry his chest hurt, yet he was always grinning.

One day, he stood up for a customer and offended a powerful family.

As he waited at the police station, the person who came to pick him up with a lawyer wasn't the familiar teacher from the orphanage, but a handsome, reserved, coolly elegant stranger.

The stranger asked him,

"Have you heard of Su Mo?"

*

Ling Lingyu: 0 0

Ling Lingyu: Is that the envoy who spent more than ten years herding sheep beyond the frontier in ancient times?

Stranger: ...

Stranger: That's Su Wu.

The Su Mo the man mentioned was publicly known as a philanthropic entrepreneur. But many gossip outlets described him as a powerful figure who operated behind the scenes, someone who could easily determine the future of the entire city.

Looking at the dazed Ling Lingyu, the stranger sighed and said, "Su Mo is your biological father. I'm his younger brother, your uncle, Su Boyan. I've come to take you home."

The stray puppy from the orphanage in the poor neighborhood had become the most pampered and precious person in the city overnight.

*

The extravagant life of the elite didn't turn out to be as happy as Ling Lingyu had imagined.

He became friends with a dazzling star who shone onstage. But his father said the star was only humoring him and putting up with an annoying little fan.

He got a fiancé with a good family background and handsome looks. But his father said the man had come to take advantage of him because he was stupid and gullible.

He really liked the uncle who had brought him home, Su Boyan. But his father also said that Su Boyan truly hated everyone in the family.

At the orphanage, the teachers called him stupid, but then hugged Ling Lingyu with a smile and praised him for being a good boy. Now that he lived in a villa on the hill, everyone around him had ulterior motives and disliked him!

Confused and hurt, Ling Lingyu pressed his father for answers. His father gave him a faint, mysterious smile, propped his chin on his hand, and drawled, "Use that little head of yours and think carefully. You're Su Mo's child. Why do you think they're treating you this way?"

Ling Lingyu: ...

Ling Lingyu thought it over, then suddenly understood and said angrily, "I get it! They're treating me like this because you're so unlikeable, and you've dragged me into it!"

*

Ling Lingyu knew Su Mo was a rotten person. But he was Ling Lingyu's only blood relative, the only person in the world who was supposed to care about him from birth, so Ling Lingyu was willing to treat Su Mo as the most important family member in his life.

Until Ling Lingyu learned the truth about his origins from someone else.

He was a product, a discarded, failed custom-made product.

Ling Lingyu secretly cried all night. When he woke up the next morning, he decided to take revenge on his father in the harshest way possible.

He would find someone his father hated, looked down on, and could never accept, then, thirty years later, he and that person would sign his father's consent form to remove his life support!

Ling Lingyu began drafting his evil revenge plan in earnest, listing a string of potential candidates.

At the top of the list, he wrote Su Boyan's name.

1. A melodramatic rich-family pampered darling story about a universally adored protagonist. There is plenty of doting and drama, but no one will truly hate the little puppy!

2. The puppy's dad is a [Villain], firmly in the [Villain] role, and a deeply twisted East Asian patriarch.

3. The love interest is sexually inexperienced. Su Boyan and the puppy are not related by blood and aren't registered in the same household. One-on-one pairing and a happy ending, but there are plenty of secondary love interests.

4. Personal preference: the protagonist has some mental health and eating disorders. Please mind the content warnings.
