About This Novel

In 2026, when the pet keeping rate is as high as 38.5%, Young product manager Lin Jianshen is the builder of the "Pet Companion" APP and a typical urbanite who regards the corgi Fubao as "family". When his father was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, he was forced to face two bills: his father's life-saving medical treatment and the high cost of pets; and two responsibilities: blood ties and the commitment of raising pets. With the promulgation of the Urban Pet Breeding and Management Law, society began to use taxes to quantify the cost of love. This novel sharply analyzes the emotional escape and ethical imbalance behind the phenomenon of "pet anthropomorphism" through a family's struggle with disease, economy, and intergenerational conflict. It asks how contemporary people can reorder between the simple love of pets and the complex love of parents, and learn to bear those truly heavy but unshirkable responsibilities.
