Looking for Short, Tearjerker Stories Like the Ones in TikTok Ads
In the ad, the heroine is diagnosed with terminal liver cancer, or the male lead asks her how much longer she's going to keep pretending. Anyway, in the end, he sees her body and panics. She doesn't necessarily have to die, though. A happy ending is fine too. I just want to see how this kind of story ends.
Looking for Short Stories

The female lead has very positive values, and the chieftain is also a good person; it's a pleasant read. "I cannot kill you to avenge Morton; it is my incompetence. But I can make you live in the shadows for all eternity." This sorrow has nothing to do with the wind or the moon; the greatest bitterness in my life is unrequited love.
This is fantastic! Unlike those novels that easily run to 1,000 or 2,000 chapters, this is so much more satisfying to read. Definitely a 5-star review! 😁😁
I like the line: "This sorrow has nothing to do with the wind and the moon; the greatest bitterness in my life is unrequited love." This poem perfectly matches the book title, and I also like the female lead; she has clear likes and dislikes. It's just a pity that little Wojo has lost both her father and mother.
The female lead is bold in love and hate, which is the kind of personality I like. The innocent little girl from back then is no longer the same. Although both the male and female leads died, they were happy.
I like that the female lead is decisive in her love and hate, and she can let go easily. That's the kind of personality I like. This sorrow has nothing to do with the wind or the moon; the greatest bitterness in my life is unrequited love.
It's incredibly good, so heart-wrenching! The female lead is so hurt and doesn't forgive. There are some dramas where the character is hurt but still forgives. I just don't understand why.
The female protagonist in this book is the most clear-cut in her likes and dislikes I've ever read. Unlike some female protagonists who drag things out and choose the male protagonist who hurt them even when there's a devoted second male lead, she's different.
I initially thought it would be like other typical stories where the female lead is a complete idiot, but I didn't expect her to be quite rational. The story is also quite good. The only downside is that the ending isn't perfect. It would have been better if the two could have stayed together for life, but this one is still pretty good!
It was touching. The story was very short, but it didn't suffer from the common pitfalls of many novels, where the male lead torments the female lead countless times, yet the female lead still treats the male lead like her first love. The female lead ends up with the second male lead, and they don't have feudalistic ideas. The second male lead is a king of the grasslands, with a free spirit, willing to accept the female lead's child, and has sound values.
This little story was pretty good. I didn't expect the second male lead to die, the female lead to commit suicide, and the male lead to die of grief in the end. It was very tragic, but I didn't cry while reading it. I'm usually very easily moved to tears, but this book didn't have any tear-jerking moments. The whole book was shrouded in sadness, but it didn't trigger any tears. It was like dark, heavy clouds gathering, gloomy and oppressive, yet no rain was falling. It was very depressing.
