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.

Seeking High-Quality Historical Romance, No Transmigration, Rebirth, or System

I like food, palace intrigue, the imperial examinations, political schemes, and crime-solving. On Tomato, I’ve read The Strongest Female Grand Secretary Rises Against the Odds; for palace intrigue, Zhaohua Weiyang, Palace Willows, and Deep Palace Strategy: The Tale of Qingzhi; for food, Chang’an Snack Shop (I can’t remember if it was on Tomato).
