Original title: "Every Pitfall Is Different"

Wen Wei thought the worst thing that could happen this year was getting scapegoated and leaving her job, even though she managed to prove her innocence.

But life seemed to resent how smoothly things had been going for her, and hit her with another piece of bad news: her cat had FIP.

Fortunately, even at her lowest, she had never skimped on her precious kitty. Her little black cat was discharged safely, and the first thing it did after she brought it home was get into a fight with the little tabby from the same ward.

One little black paw, one little tabby paw, two tufts of fur, and three scratches on the nurse who tried to break them up. Together, they pushed her into a huge, bottomless pit.

She thought the matter was behind her after she repaid the favor she owed. But the bill came due sooner than expected. She hadn't even left the pet hospital when she got a task to pay it back: "Would you be interested in feeding a cat at home? A little orange cat, poor thing, with an injured hind leg. Very well-behaved."

Wen Wei: ...

Fine. It's not like I have anything else to do. I'll go feed it. Besides, the little orange cat really is so well-behaved, so cuddly, so pitiful, so... irresistible.

But the price of getting attached was that after staking out the building for three days, she finally caught the agile little stray. Before she could get it back on the straight and narrow, a man mistook her for a cat thief.

Xu Xiaochen had been having a thoroughly miserable time lately.

His company was beset by troubles inside and out, and he was physically and mentally exhausted. Then the little one at home had its leg hurt by an abuser. Just when he had finally found a cat sitter who seemed reliable, he went on a business trip and came back to find her caught red-handed downstairs, "stealing his cat."

That might have been forgivable, but then this "young lady" opened her mouth and called him an "animal-abusing psycho." How was that fair?

He decided to take a closer look at the brazen "thief." Well, well, wasn't this the unlucky woman his company had scapegoated and forced out a while ago?

Well, what a coincidence.

An even bigger "coincidence" was that this "cat thief" seemed to have stolen the heart of his ungrateful little cat, too.

Watching his cat bask in the sun every day in Wen Wei's arms, Xu Xiaochen fell into deep thought:

Would it be too late to give the cat away now?

Wen Wei: Sure, sure! Hurry up!

Reader advisory:

1. The events in the blurb may differ from the actual story. They won't match up one hundred percent, and some may be spread across different chapters. Think of it as a general outline of the plot.

2. The author's writing skills are limited. I'll do my best to keep the plot logical, so please bear with me.

3. There is a secondary couple, but their story won't be shown in detail.

4. If the romance between the leads feels strange, don't be surprised. The author is a little inexperienced at writing romance.

5. The author is working hard to balance the plot and romance, and to beat my chronic laziness. I'll do my best to update daily without missing a day!
