Synopsis

(This story includes traditional mythology, mainly to set things up for the male and female leads. Let me say it again: the protagonist does not cultivate immortality! The protagonist does not cultivate immortality!

The mythology doesn’t take up much of the story. For reference, see Fox Spirit Matchmaker. If you don’t like it, please don’t read.)

As for why it’s listed under urban slice-of-life, the System assigned the category automatically.)

[Regret + No Forgiveness + Angst]

In the face of cold darkness, we are all fearless children.

But beneath warm light, we become the ones who cry.

Jiang Qingci was born into a broken family. His biological parents neglected him, while his adoptive parents treated him with cold indifference, leaving him no choice but to be a well-behaved, obedient child.

Then Jiang Qingci was diagnosed with a terminal illness and given only four months to live. At last, he saw them for who they really were.

When his parents came to apologize, Jiang Qingci looked at them as they shed their hypocritical tears in front of him.

He said coldly:

“What I never had before, I don’t want now.”

But just when Jiang Qingci thought he was cold enough, he met the silly girl Xu Youke.

The girl was like a ray of light, shining into his eighteen years of icy life and bringing him the warmth of that light.

From then on, she made a home in his heart and became the one person he could never let go of.

For Jiang Qingci,

the only pain in the world was knowing he couldn’t stay by Xu Youke’s side for long, yet being unable to stop himself from falling for her.

Please Recommend Engrossing Tomato Novels Without Stupid Plotting

Villain, urban, or fantasy novels are all fine 😊 I'm a seasoned reader of ten years, so please don't recommend beginner-level novels; I can't get into them. I'm older now and hope to read something with a well-reasoned, tightly plotted story. I don't mind power fantasies, but I don't want everyone else to act stupid just to make the protagonist look smart.

I watched a bit, and it's not bad; it matches one of my fantasies, but I hope the main character is really dead. Otherwise, it would be very strange.

So far, it's well-written, but I hope you can stick to the urban style and not mix in anything like cultivation or magic.

It's so sweet! Unlike some novels that force in sweetness, this author has a perfect balance of sweetness. The beginning is a bit angsty and not particularly sweet, and the introduction of the Nan Ke Yao character might make it a little hard to keep up, but if you get through that part, you'll find that the rest is incredibly sweet.

This book is great! It's true that female authors are best at writing about relationships. Keep it up!

The plot is well done. Although it's painful to watch, the storyline with Xiaoyouzi is still very good. Also, the fact that the biological father doesn't know about this makes me want to see the author's reaction when the biological father finds out the protagonist doesn't have long to live.

Seriously, this book is definitely worth reading. I stayed up all night to finish it. The author's writing is superb, and the characters are incredibly well-developed. It's a godsend for those who enjoy angst; once you get into it, you can truly feel the pain (those who dislike angst should proceed with caution). So far, there aren't any major problems.

Honestly, this book is absolutely fantastic. Normally, a bit of fantasy wouldn't be very good, but the male and female leads, having lost their memories, meet again. Even though they don't remember each other, their physical sensations remain. It's incredibly good (it's just that the author made it too short).
