She Said She Loved the Sea

"A caged bird longs for its old forest, a fish in a pond yearns for its familiar pool"—I will always praise this as the sincere and ardent love of a young boy. I also wish the little fish peace, joy, and all the best in his next life, with someone he loves and someone who loves him in return.

A caged bird longs for its old forest, a fish in a pond yearns for its familiar pool. My name is Lin Chiyu. Little Fish suffered so much. Her life was so bitter. She endured verbal bullying, school bullying, parental favoritism, and the torment of illness. She was truly suffering and exhausted. She wanted to go out and see the world, but she was forever frozen on her birthday.

Personally, I thought it was pretty good. There was a period when I considered giving up, but I finished it anyway. How to put it? At first, I was simply envious of Xiaoyuer and Mianmian's friendship. Later, when I saw Xiaoyuer's illness, I just felt sorry for her. But when Xiaoyuer's mother passed away and then Xiaoyuer herself committed suicide, I almost cried.

It's truly heartbreaking. The female lead's mother is extremely sexist, giving all her love to her younger brother. Even when the female lead is bullied at school, her mother sees it but says nothing, creating a rift between them. Later, the female lead is diagnosed with depression and brain cancer. She survives the brain cancer surgery, but the depression ultimately breaks her. The male lead's appearance is like a ray of light. Anyway, if you like angst, you definitely have to read this!

Overall, this book is alright. However, it's also strange. For example, when Yu Hanbao was about to bully Xiaoyuer again on the rooftop, Xiaoyuer's friends all stood up for him, even Cheng Yiyi. But Qi Mu's reaction was weak, almost nonexistent. He was completely unmoved by the fact that the person he liked had been bullied so badly before and was being bullied again.

Little Fish, your life has been tough, but you've met the person you love. In your next life, try your best to persevere, okay? For Qi Mu, for... Please hang in there for your friends, okay?

This is another tragic ending story that kept me up until 3 AM. Xiaoyuer is truly wonderful; she yearns for freedom, and in the end, witnessing her mother's death in a car accident is the final straw that breaks her. The male lead is incredibly devoted. You absolutely must read it chapter by chapter; every single one is beautifully written.

Sigh, to be honest, this is the first angst-filled novel on my bookshelf. I didn't expect it to be so angsty when I started reading, but it's still very good. However, due to some reasons, I've delayed writing a review until now. I hope the author continues to work hard! ε٩(๑> ₃ <)۶з

Author, please, please don't make the ending too angsty, I'm going to cry so much 😢😢 I regret it. I hope it ends badly. Suddenly I feel the guy isn't good enough for the female lead. I hope she dumps him.

I'm so heartbroken. Xiaoyuer's life has been so hard. Her mother was just starting to love her, and then the car accident became the last straw that broke Xiaoyuer's back. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 She chose to return to the sea on her birthday 🥺, to find her beloved mother 🥺
