The Kind of Angst That Keeps You Up at Night! It Has to Make You Cry Your Eyes Out!

I don't know what's gotten into me lately, but I just love reading angsty stories. I used to be really into rebirth stories, but now I'm obsessed with angst!!! I'm completely addicted!!!!!!!!!

Sophisticated Angst with Smart Characters and a Logical Plot

Looking for books similar to Palace Wall Willow. It doesn’t have to be the kind where the male and female leads must fight to the death, with one of them inevitably dying. There can be national hatred and family feuds separating them, or a divide between righteousness and evil. The story should be logical and reflect the thinking of normal people.

Books Worth Staying Up All Night to Read

Looking for stories like *I Became the Queen of the Three Kingdoms*. Books worth staying up all night to read.

Looking for Tragedies, but Not the Idiotic Kind. Keep the Characters’ Values Straight

I don't want angst for the sake of angst. I like stories with sound values that are relatively realistic. Historical or modern settings are both fine, something like He Is in Yunnan and One and Only. My eyes are already swollen from crying...

High-Quality Stories With Exceptional Writing

Any gender is fine, as long as the writing is good.

Looking for High-Quality Stories with Great Writing and Maximum Emotional Push and Pull as the Leads Torment Each Other

I'm looking for books like The Eldest Princess Married a Treacherous Minister and Then Urged Him to Rebel.

Hey everyone, do you know any books where the female lead loves the male lead at first, then realizes he doesn't love her, and he ends up regretting it? Nothing too clichéd 🌚🌚

Looking for Angsty Stories, but No Heart-Ripping, Amputations, or Cancer from the Start

I want to read a different kind of angst, not the usual setup where the heroine gets some kind of cancer from the start, the domineering hero mindlessly torments her, she nearly dies from the abuse, and then he has to chase after her to win her back...
