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.

I want books like Know No Evils: The Poor Scholar Really Is Poor.

This is amazing! Everyone should read it, especially chapter 47! It's so sweet! The male lead slaps the female lead hard and then chokes her. Oh my, it's so good! This deserves five thumbs up! 🖐️ The female lead slaps, the male lead uses his Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!
It's so good! The female lead is so kind. Despite being abused by the male lead, she still can't bear to divorce him. Even when the mistress comes into her home, she's still willing to give her gifts. And when her best friend tries to persuade her to divorce, she still responds that she loves the male lead to death. With such a kind and beautiful female lead, why not click to watch it?
I read the whole thing and my review is quite comprehensive. I don't recommend it to the average person who's easily swayed. The male lead is both cunning and hypocritical, while the female lead is love-struck and a saint. The author, Nanbao Ma, treats the female lead like a Japanese person and tortures her relentlessly. There were so many times in the early episodes that it almost ended badly.
It's so good! The author wrote it so well. The heroine's love, the hero's love and hate, the hero's initial sadness at the heroine's love not being worth it, the anger at the hero's blinded heart, the heroine's suicide, the hero's regret, the heroine's resurrection, the hero's entanglement, the hero's fear that the heroine wouldn't forgive him so easily, but the heroine didn't hate him, the hero…
Yeah, I really enjoy watching it. It's super good, with rich content and well-defined characters. Waiting for each new episode is a bit of a pain 🥺 After the female lead jumps off the cliff, the characters' personalities change drastically, unlike the style of the earlier parts.
I thought the male lead would suffer terribly later on. The female lead shouldn't look back. The story is very good so far. I hope they change the male lead, or at least make him suffer terribly. The female lead is just too pitiful. I hope she doesn't turn back.
It would be a bit much if the ending wasn't a tragic one, right? Even the traditional story of children paying for their father's debts shouldn't be like this! It's heartbreaking and physically cruel; what did the female lead do wrong? Watching this late at night is so painful, ahhhhh, I want to cry so much (ಥ_ಥ)
The male lead initially tormented the female lead, but when she was completely disappointed in him, she felt sorry for him. The second male lead is also very good, and I hope he has a happy ending. It's so hard to choose between the male lead and the second male lead!
The book is good, but can I please torture the male lead? When will the author torture the male lead? 😢😢 I feel so sorry for the female lead.
In this book, every female character in each pairing gets hurt because of the male lead, so the competition between them is quite fierce 🤦
