It was all very ordinary, yet an unnamed melancholy permeated the entire story. The flower language of the Chinese parasol tree (梧桐花) includes mission, elegance, messenger of love, and first love, but it also symbolizes parting, sadness, and desolation. It blooms later than other flowers, usually opening in the summer.
Luo Yutong, I wish you could say "I like you" sooner in your next life, and that you could hold tightly to the light that belongs only to you. I really feel sorry for you, but unfortunately I can't make up for your regrets. I hope that in the next life, An Zishu can not only personally overcome your darkness, but also heal the wounds in your heart.
Although there are only a few chapters so far, it's already very memorable, touching, and heartwarming. Luo Yutong doesn't explicitly say "I love Jiang Zishu," but every action and word speaks volumes. The author's writing is excellent, the plot is superb, the male lead has an illness—a real-life version of a tragic hero—and the female lead is like his light, pulling him out of the darkness.
I rarely read tragic love stories, but after reading so many happy endings, I suddenly realized that coming-of-age romance novels are quite good. They're more realistic, a very short story with only 18 chapters, but a love that transcends life and death deserves to be celebrated. Although he never explicitly said "I love you," his heart and eyes were filled with you.
From the moment An Zishu brought him home, he came to love her. If you never receive flowers from your beloved, don't be sad. The sycamore tree I planted with my own hands will bloom only for you. He died long ago, three years ago, in that summer without you. 😢😢😢
It was really heartbreaking to finish reading it. There were so many regrets. I only realized how much I loved the male lead after a while. He did everything for the female lead, but she only saw him as a brother. In the end, he fell ill and refused treatment for a long time so that she would be there when she needed him. It was so touching.
The first sad ending I ever read, and I cried so much in the second half 😢😢 "I used to think that the biggest regret was not being able to see the most important person one last time. But I later realized that love that comes late is more unforgettable. Luo Yutong, I miss you so much."
At first, I thought it was about redemption, but it ended with heartbreak and deep regret. Would the ending have been different if the male lead had confessed his unrequited love to the female lead before committing suicide? Fortunately, the female lead also committed suicide in the end, which is a decent ending for them. She didn't die; she just went to find her boy because she lost the boy who secretly loved her.
Luo Yutong, An Zishu May you be together in another world; it's beautiful there.
This book is so well-written! After finishing it, Luo Yutong is all I can think about. It's the best tragic romance novel I've ever read. I hope the author continues to write well. Every chapter is packed with content, surpassing most novels. The author's detailed descriptions in each chapter are excellent, making it impossible to put down.
