Top 10 Tearjerkers!
Please tell me your number-one angsty novel, and the most heartbreaking stories you know. I’ve been feeling down lately and want to read something tragic!
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.
Extremely Angsty Novels!!! Make the Female Lead Suffer
Any really angsty novels? The more heartbreaking, the better. Ideally, the female lead suffers the most.

Angst.
Angst!! Maximum Angst!! Short Stories!! An Ending Where They Don't Get Back Together After Breaking Up!!
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.
No Angst-Ridden Novels on Tomato Reading Rated 9.5 or Higher
Tomato novels with absolutely no ultra-short angst stories, no heart-wrenchingly tragic stories, regardless of genre.
The Female Lead Doesn’t Love the Male Lead and Likes the Second Male Lead, but the Male Lead Forces Her to Marry Him
The female lead doesn't love the male lead and likes the second male lead, but the male lead forces her into marriage. The second male lead should stay true to character and be a genuinely good person.
Pure Angst, With the Male Lead Tormenting the Female Lead!!!!!!
I want angst from beginning to end, not the kind where the leads love each other but still can't be together in the end. I want the male lead to love someone else and the female lead to suffer through pure heartbreak.
Stories With a Female Lead Who's Humble to the Core
The male lead never hits or scolds the female lead. He just doesn’t like her, but she still likes him carefully and timidly.
Looking for Angst That Makes You Cry, but With a Happy Ending
An angst story with a happy ending.
Angst! But It’s Logically Consistent, and the More You Savor It, the More Painful It Gets
I'm begging you all. Whenever it's late and quiet and I want to have a little emo moment, I open a book that's supposedly super angsty, only to get so annoyed by the logic that I end up laughing. Then I'm forced to go to bed early. ヽ( ￣д￣;)ノ
They All Feel Like Day-to-Day Logs, and the Plots Are All the Same. Are There Any Good Books?
I want something like The Black Swan’s Rules of Capture. Help, I’m getting tired of everything I’ve been reading lately. Are there any new books? I’m looking for a story with two equally strong leads. Sweet or angsty is fine.

It is well written, and does not follow the same routine as other romance novels. After the heroine left the scumbag, she chose to be independent and self-reliant, and went to the frontier. Awesome. I hope she and the general can finally get married.
Although it is an old saying, the emotional line between the male lead and the female protagonist in the early stage reminded me of my first love, the feeling of being in love for a thousand years when I was young. I also felt the pain of breaking up later. The emotional line between the male lead and the male protagonist in the middle stage is sad and sweet, and it will also feel very sad in the later stage.
This is the first time the author has written an article, and some details are not well controlled. But the plot is novel. There are some points that just hit home for me. I have a heart-wrenching feeling, so I give it a five-star review for this reason.
Under the feudal system, most women were tragedies. The second female lead is actually quite miserable. She was originally a noble lady from the capital city. But he was tortured beyond recognition by love.
This book really gets more and more sad the more I read it. 🥺 It deserves 5 stars.
I read it in one sitting, it was so good. Worth five stars.
It's super sadistic, the writing is also very good, and the emotional descriptions are very delicate.
I finished reading it in one sitting. Especially the last one updated so far makes me cry. The ultimate pull between the male and female protagonists.
I think the author's description of the machinations is still a little jerky, but the emotional description is very delicate, and many of the sadistic points made me very worried. Overall it's still very good.
The plot can always develop in unexpected directions. I thought it was cruel enough in the early stage, but I didn't expect it would be even more cruel in the later stage.
