[Sickly beauty mastermind × tough-on-the-outside stray dog × respectable childhood-friend partner]
Jiang Niannian is diagnosed with leukemia and has only two years to live.
She tells no one, quietly arranging her affairs instead: find her father a companion, leave her grandparents something to remember her by, and find someone to look after the family in her place.
She sets her sights on the unwanted burden her stepmother brought with her.
Covered in wounds, swearing constantly, and refusing treatment even after being hit by a car. His eyes look like those of a stray dog abandoned by the whole world.
Her stepmother is a fraud who openly says, “Once that sickly girl dies, all the money will be mine.” Jiang Niannian doesn't expose her. She just hands the mad dog a Band-Aid. “Big brother, it hurts!”
She spoils him rotten, telling him, “Everything I have will be yours one day.”
Because she needs a loyal dog: once a stray dog has been cared for, it becomes the most devoted to its owner.
But she doesn't know that this mad dog is hiding an even bigger secret. He has been treated as a “blood bank” since birth, and every kindness he's ever known has come from her.
There's someone else behind her, too: Lu Zhi'ang, the perfect childhood friend who has been by her side since they were little. To tame the mad dog, she and her childhood friend take turns playing good cop and bad cop.
Later, the stray dog corners her against a wall, his eyes red. “If you die, I don't want to live either.”
Behind her, the perfect childhood friend loses his composure for the first time. “Jiang Niannian, what have all these years meant to us?”
