Synopsis

!! WARNING: ANGST !!

Everyone gets a bad ending + devoted male lead + a heroine who cares for the world

Shen Hanlan: “I’ve let you down once again. It’s a pity there’s no next life, or I would surely marry you.”

Yu Jinchen: “Don’t jump, please?”

As soon as the words left his mouth, a figure in white drifted off the cliff, leaving behind a fading blue shadow.

“Without you, what do the people of this world mean to me?”

No one stepped forward to stop him. Yu Jinchen plunged into the depths with Shen Hanlan, becoming a spirit and fulfilling her destiny.

She didn’t love him, but he forced her to marry him. She resisted, and he regretted it too late.

He loved only her, but she ran away. He followed her, and they shared life and death.

A story with a sense of fate and a touch of fantasy.

The warmer the early chapters are, the more heartbreaking the later ones!!

I’m Hard to Make Cry, So Recommend Some Angsty Stories, Preferably Tragic Historical Romance, Any Length

I'm really hard to make cry. I read the one that everyone seems to recommend, something about a diseased tree, but it didn't make me sad at all.

Period Romance with Heartbreak

Looking for books like Xing Zhi Wan. A period romance full of angst, with a fresh premise. No rebirth or anything like that. The story is fairly understated, but the ending is anything but happy.

Why Do So Many Palace Intrigue Stories Have Emperors Who Look the Part but Think Like Modern Men?

I've read a lot of palace intrigue novels lately, and quite a few have left me feeling frustrated. Is it because of the authors' writing? Why don't the emperors think like emperors at all? It's as if modern romance plots have simply been dropped into an ancient setting.
