Thousand Days of Obsession, Empty in the End

Thousand Days of Obsession, Empty in the End Plot:

Lin Xiaoman spent a thousand days trying to win back her ex-boyfriend Lu Chuan—she wrote a 365-page memo of his preferences, paid his mortgage, and stayed with his sick mother in the hospital. She thought her persistence would melt his heart, until she caught him holding hands with a new girlfriend. Flipping through the faded memo, she broke down: what she’d clung to wasn’t Lu Chuan, but the 18-year-old herself who believed in “I’ll protect you” under the cherry blossoms. Meanwhile, Chen Mo, the neighbor who’d brought her 999 cups of hot taro balls, stood downstairs with the 1000th, eyes red: “This time, let me wait for you.”
