The sorrows and joys of an era's passage.
Every story feels sad, but different. The first story feels helpless and uncomfortable after reading it, a tragic product in the background of the times. In the second story, both the heroine and the hero are miserable. It's a tragedy that the two fell in love but something went wrong. The third story is a tragedy as a whole. The heroine didn't know that the hero liked her until she died, but the hero didn't know that the heroine liked him until the heroine died. Oh my God, it's a complete tragedy.
