The stats were bad, so I threw together an ending and dropped the book.
[The male lead is a bad person, so the ending is a bad ending.]
[Reckless, decisive, womanizing big shot × resilient, tenacious female veterinarian]
One stormy night, Luo Bei is on the overnight shift at a pet hospital when Liu Xudong walks into the examination room, carrying an injured kitten wrapped in his shirt.
They fall in love at first sight and quickly begin a passionate romance. One night, six months later, Liu Xudong proposes with a ring and tells her he has to go on a mission. He’ll marry her when he gets back.
He leaves for three years, and after that, there’s no word from him at all.
One night, a man who looks exactly like him breaks into the hospital.
Hearing that familiar voice again, she trembles in the darkness and asks through her tears, “Is that you?”
The man doesn’t answer. He only presses a knife to her throat. “Don’t try anything.”
…
Jin Xiangnan loves her without restraint, and every time she pushes him away, her resolve gradually softens.
She says she wants to study abroad.
He says five years is too long.
How could she not know? Three years spent waiting for Liu Xudong have already taught her what it means to wait in vain.
At last, she decides to give up going abroad for the sake of a man.
Before she can even say anything, he tells her he’s decided to leave everything behind and go abroad with her.
Just as everything is ready and they’re preparing to hold their wedding overseas,
the police knock on the apartment door.
The resolute, righteous-looking police chief introduces himself.
“Hello. I’m Liu Xudong’s father.”
