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. I've already read "Bone-Deep Crisis", "He Said Our Love Came Too Late", and "May You Shine as Bright as the Stars"... I'd prefer something with lots of chapters, since I'm a night owl.

Tragic Stories and Bad Endings, The Kind That Make Your Heart Ache!!!
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.

Please, everyone, go read this! 😢😢 It's so good! 😢😢😢 I'm not someone who likes sad endings, but this book really made me want to keep reading. I hope the ending is sad; it's so tear-jerking! 😢😢 The author's writing is also excellent. How can the rating be so low? It shouldn't be like this! 😢😢
It's a really good book. This book captures the thrill of first meeting, the reluctance of parting, and the helplessness of loving each other. After reading it, I felt as if I had truly experienced the life of Nam Sun-yi and Joo Chau-wan's love.
This is amazing! I haven't read a book that excites me this much in ages! Author, please update soon!!! Please, author, please restore the double character count! Waaaaah, it's just not enough! 😢
This book is definitely let down by its title. It's a story that could easily get a 9.5 Rating, but it has an 8.0 Title. As a long-time bookworm, I haven't read such an empathetic story in a long time. I was in tears several times throughout. It vividly depicts the complexities of national and personal relationships, and the themes of righteousness and love.
The male and female protagonists met in Jinling. At that time, she didn't know he was the most esteemed emperor, nor did he know that they had such a deep connection. She simply had a soft heart and was willing to accompany him on this journey, to stay by his side. The female lead's maternal clan sacrificed so much to ensure the male lead ascended the throne.
Super good! I've read three of the author's books in a row. The writing is solid, delicate, and full of emotion, with a strong sense of national pride and patriotism. My only hope is that it has a happy ending! 🤔🤔🤔
This book is so sweet, so incredibly sweet. 😢😢😢 Damn it, you've given me too many dead ends, making me mistakenly believe we'd be heading towards the sunset. "Our Nan clan, apart from our founding ancestor who bears the surname Nan Rong, is the only one who is truly good."
Ahhhhh, no amount of "ahhh" can express my excitement! I haven't read such a good book in so long! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Shanyi, will you be able to return to your grandfather's side with your child in the future? Even if you can't have the one you love, at least you'll have a child by your side, so you won't be alone for the rest of your life.
So far, I think it's a great read, just my type. It has a slow and steady feel, unfolding gently and gradually, making it easy to read at a leisurely pace. I hope the author updates frequently! [Requesting lots of updates!]
This novel made me cry uncontrollably. The female lead suffered so much, watching her beloved family members leave, and she and the male lead carrying too much on their shoulders. Love is hard to find, staying together is hard to find, and the bonds of family and country are hard to fulfill. Perhaps tragedy is the best ending for them.
