[School crush x city-life crush x love that grows over time x GB x tragic ending]
The whole novel is complete. Enjoy!
“Jiang Wan, you’ve saved me so many times. This time, let me save you, even if it costs me my life.”
She was the notorious queen of the school, smoking, fighting, speeding, and smashing things, yet she always went easy on the aloof academic star.
He was an honors student living behind the perfect facade: always impeccably dressed, always graceful at the piano. But where she couldn’t see, he used razor blades to carve scars into his arms.
“Shen Zhao, what the hell is wrong with you?”
“Yeah. I’m sick with you.”
From high school into adulthood, she thought she was protecting him, never knowing that behind every smile of his lay an abyss on the verge of swallowing him whole.
Until one day, he pleaded with her in the conference room:
“Marry me, or come collect my body.”
“Fine. I’ll choose a third option: I’ll live on for you.”
Those with fragile hearts should avoid this; it's incredibly heart-wrenching 😭😭😭 Watching his soul, riddled with wounds, desperately cling to the only piece of driftwood, 🥺 watching her raise her thorns to push away those who try to get close to her 😢 I finally saw the young couple reconcile and get married 💕, but then I saw the tag: angst, sad ending [shocked], and my world collapsed [petrified] O_o [petrified][petrified]
The book that left me with the most heartache... Sister Wan and Xiao Shen, I hope you find happiness after filming wraps up... This is incredibly angsty... I hate weak, submissive characters, and this is the only one I've ever been able to accept (actually, he's not weak at all).
I cried so much but it was really good.
So that's how it is (feeling conflicted)
Am I reading a redemption story?
