Confused about Harem Hierarchy in WHI? Check out this lovely post by Clam from Pavillion!
List of Characters and Place Names to refresh your memory! I try to keep the titles, names, and place names consistent with Clam’s translation 🙂

Description [Edited from NU]:
The “Dog Emperor” gets adopted by his fake “Favored Consort.” This story follows their journey as they experience all sorts of trials in the imperial harem and find true love.
The dog king will recover his human body.
This is not a legitimate harem drama novel – there will be love, there will be pampering.
Enormous silver platters, shocking melodramas – all part of the package.
Looking at his own concubines and imperial offspring from a doggy’s perspective:
- Those who used to be sweet, gentle and eloquent flowers turn out to be venus fly traps behind the scenes.
- Previously filial, courteous, intelligent and adorable imperial princes and princesses transform into demons in a flash!
The progression of the story overturns understandings and unmasks countless illusions.
But by the protection of the gods, the dog emperor met a healing owner. Although the path is rough, the end is pleasant.

Am I the only one who has a problem with the link to Pavillion for the first few chapters? I went back to novelupdates and the link from their works, I thought I had to MTL them >_<|||
Hey Kat, I just tried the link and it seems like Pavillion deleted her site D: You’re not the only one. I will try to contact Pavillion and speak with the TL team about re-translating chp 1-26.
I just heard back from Clam, the previous translator. She just changed the URL of her site which messed up the links. They should be working again now 🙂
Hi. Im trying to access the chapter but it keeps telling me that there is no connection. Can you help me?
