Heartbreakingly Angsty Stories That Make Your Heart Hurt
I've read quite a lot of angsty stories before, and I'm usually a bit sentimental. I love listening to sad songs and hearing sad stories, too.

This book is almost finished, just popping in to say hi. Don't be fooled by the small daily updates; the author worked incredibly hard, sob sob. Who understands the pressure of working while writing? I'm not doing this for money or asking for gifts, it's purely a personal hobby. My writing has never been great, so I'm truly grateful you all read it to the end. This is my second book.
This book really captures my favorite ideas. Even if a broken mirror is glued back together, it will never be the same mirror again; a broken mirror can never be made whole again. Ahh, this really made me cry! Chenchen got sick, but in order not to hurt the only person who loved him, he chose to bear everything alone.
This author has perfectly captured all my thoughts on the kind of story I want to read. I love stories about substitutes, but most of the ones I've come across are mindless angst. This one is so delicate; it made me cry my eyes out in the middle of the night. Author, please write more! I love it! 😘😘😘
No, no, how can such a good novel go unread?! Aaaaaaaahh ... Actually, I'd like to share a quote from Glick in the book with you: You deserve to be loved. You are not a substitute for anyone. You are you, unique and irreplaceable. And Mu Nian is such a good person, he really is... I'm crying so much 😢😢😢 Moreover, the author's writing is superb; I highly recommend it, five stars! 😢😢😢
Dear author, please wait for my follow-up review. I'm so sorry, this book is truly amazing! Every character is so vividly portrayed, and the plot is incredibly captivating! Most importantly, your writing is so superb, I can't even begin to imagine how well you use indirect description and metaphorical imagery to convey emotions!
I really love Chi Muze, I love this gentle type. And I absolutely adore Chenchen! The character portrayals are so delicate, and the writing is superb. Author, please keep writing! It's so hard not to love this!
I've read twenty or thirty novels about a man chasing his wife, and this one is my absolute favorite! The protagonist (the one who wins back his wife) didn't drag things out; he left immediately after realizing his mistake. And I absolutely loved the tragic ending with the scumbag protagonist (the other man)—it was so satisfying! This is the best novel about a man chasing his wife!
*Sobs* I watched this in the middle of the night and my eyes are swollen like buns this morning 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😫😫😫😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
My family members are absolutely gorgeous! Every story is so poignant, like a knife piercing my heart, impossible to pull out. If the book weren't already finished, I'd want the author to write more. While I don't feel completely heartbroken, it's still incredibly difficult to find peace within myself.
It's really good! I finished watching it in a fit of anger ٩(๑^o^๑)۶ I absolutely loved the way the author portrayed Xiaoyu. His feelings for his childhood sweetheart changed so much—from initial infatuation to a "wishful" marriage, and finally, a clearer understanding of his situation. His inherent stubbornness caused him to lose himself in the process, and he truly suffered so much.
