Looking for Short, Tearjerker Stories Like the Ones in TikTok Ads
In the ad, the heroine is diagnosed with terminal liver cancer, or the male lead asks her how much longer she's going to keep pretending. Anyway, in the end, he sees her body and panics. She doesn't necessarily have to die, though. A happy ending is fine too. I just want to see how this kind of story ends.

The author said that Tomato doesn't like this kind of subject matter, but I really like it. I think this is a more realistic story plot. The idea of a lifelong, monogamous relationship might exist, but that's probably something some authors write to cater to popular tastes! As I get older, I still prefer more realistic themes. I hope the author continues to write more and better stories!
Finished watching on October 16, 2023, just wanted to commemorate it. The female lead falls in love with the male lead at first sight, while the male lead's initial attraction to her is based on her looks, but he eventually grows disgusted with her due to his scheming.
The plot is fast-paced, with no filler chapters or unnecessary angst. There should be more developments regarding the male lead later on. Keep up the good work, author! 🤤
The writing style is fresh and elegant. Some readers might abandon a book if it doesn't depict a monogamous relationship, but in that era, having wives and concubines was more realistic. The deep emotions are subtly conveyed. As a new author, this is truly remarkable. Thumbs up! I'll also follow the author's other works.
The plot is pretty good, not too illogical. The last chapter explains things very clearly. First, it's the female lead's father who arranged for Zhu Lou to marry Mu Yun, not the other way around. He also dealt with his sister, who was an obstacle on his path to promotion. The overall characters and plot are well-developed, and it's not a mindless story.
Five stars! The male lead is a jerk at first but becomes incredibly devoted later, while the female lead suffers in the beginning but eventually lives a happy and perfect life. Overall, it's good. The story isn't long, but it gives a satisfying conclusion to all the characters.
It's quite good. At first, I thought it would be similar to Qiong Yao's "Smoke Locks the Tower," but after finishing it, I felt a sense of melancholy, like "If only life were like our first meeting." A touch of melancholy; perhaps life is inherently imperfect. Having read so many stories of revenge and catharsis, seeing everyone seemingly effortlessly slap their faces always feels unreal.
It's very well written! Keep writing in your own style and don't let some readers influence you! I rarely comment unless it's really good or really bad (yours is good, of course), and I never give tips. You're only the second person I've seen tip you (it doesn't matter how much or how little, it's the thought that counts). Just tell me if your writing is good or not 😄.
I thought it was alright; I cried several times while watching it, and the ending was good too. Personally, I feel the rating I gave it was too low.
It was so good, I couldn't help but watch it all in one go! 🤦🤦🤦
