I recommend the following three ancient novels where the male protagonist is a loyal dog guard. They all have certain abuse plots ~ 1. "The First Emperor, Ji Kuang Fei is Too Arrogant". The story was about Northern Marquis Nalan Mingyue and the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince was originally a loyal guard but later became the male lead. The abuse was obvious. 2. "Miaoyuan Like Zhao" was about the down-and-out princess Li Miaoyuan and her loyal dog guard. The male protagonist was a loyal dog guard, and there was a certain amount of fighting and abuse in the house. 3. "Jade Fragrance Ink Warmth" was a story about a princess falling in love with a guard. The male protagonist was a loyal dog guard, and the abuse plot was relatively gentle but still existed. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
