The Years They Loved Each Other

Angst Stories. Requirements: Torture the Male Lead! Torture the Male Lead! Torture the Male Lead!

Any tragic romance is fine, but preferably one where the male lead suffers. I'll say it three times because it's important!

I Don't Know What Came Over Me, but Now I Suddenly Want to Read Angst. BL

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.

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

I've read a few books, but the kind of sobbing they talk about never happens to me. Books like You Broke Your Promise and The Late Sound of Rain made me cry, but I recovered in less than half an hour. So I'm looking for something much more heartbreaking.

Make the Hero Suffer! Make the Hero Suffer! Make the Hero Suffer! Make the Hero Suffer! Make the Hero Suffer!!!!

It's best to read fast travel, ancient romance, or campus novels✺(^▽^✺)✺(^O^)✺(✺^▽^)✺Please pleaseヾ§￣▽)ゞ

The Kind Where the Male Lead Gets Tortured, and If He Doesn't Die, Torture Him Until He Does

No tormenting the female lead!!! Tormenting the male lead or a body-double romance is fine. If there's a body double, the male lead should be the double, preferably the only one!

The Male Lead Treats the Female Lead Like a Plaything in Public but Loves Her to the Bone

Any short HE stories where the male lead acts like the heroine is just a plaything, but is actually deeply in love with her and gets jealous on the sly?
