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...

The kind of story where the protagonist is sinking deep into the mire but still pulls everyone around them into the sunlight, only for the protagonist to be the only one who dies at the end.
The Protagonist Walks the World Alone
Looking for related books. A female lead is fine, and the protagonist doesn't have to be invincible. It can be urban fantasy, cultivation, or supernatural, but I'd prefer a loner protagonist.

I recently broke up with someone. We were together for 148 days, and it's such a shame. I've been crying nonstop these past few days. Today, for some reason, I can't cry, but I feel awful. I thought reading an angsty story and having a good cry might help.

"If the Forest Had a Fairy Tale" is the pinnacle of writing, in my opinion.
Tragedies, the Really Heartbreaking Kind
I'm not easily moved to tears, so I want to read something truly devastating, an extremely angsty story. Consider it a challenge. Please recommend one.

I'll definitely be the one to write the first five-star review!
In the early stages, Xiao Qingwan was indeed well hidden, so much so that even the most insignificant people dared to bully her. But later, when her identity was revealed, it suddenly became clear that it was better to remain hidden. Sigh.
Throughout the entire story, I felt nothing but regret and pity for the female lead, who seemed to have squandered her entire life because of the debts her father had incurred!
Without considerable life experience, one could never write such a good book. Lu Chuan's character portrayal is so vivid; I just feel a little sorry for the female lead.
The author writes very well, keep it up, I'll definitely keep reading.
If my husband's heart changes, then from this day forward, let this bitter love blossom. My husband will be the leaf, and I will be the flower. May the flower never wither, and the leaf never fall. May we be of one heart for life, and may all things in the world be filled with joy...
This is such a great book, the subject matter is so fresh.
I was drawn in by the title, thinking it would be a super sweet story, but it turned out to be a bit angsty at the beginning, though that makes sense.
It must take a lot of life experience to write such a wonderful and intricate article.
Who hasn't encountered a jerk? The writing is excellent and very relatable.
