The System Forces Me to Save the Tyrant, but the History Books Say I'm Doomed to Die

Looking for That Bittersweet, Satisfying Feeling, but Not a Truly Angsty Story

It can't be a truly tragic story! I want something where the hero misunderstands the heroine, she leaves, and he has to suffer while trying to win her back. Or where other people know the heroine is awful and unfaithful, but still fall in love with her despite their conflicted feelings. I love melodramatic misunderstandings that make your throat feel tight. They're so satisfying.

Tragic Romance, Extremely Angsty!!! Even More Heartbreaking Than A Life Slashed by the Sword. I’m Hard to Make Cry

Looking for the Most Gut-Wrenching Angst. Ordinary Tragic Stories Can't Make Me Sob Anymore
