    Highly recommended for its angst! Heart-wrenching from beginning to end. The plot is intricate and the writing is exquisite. The early chapters are filled with ambiguous and sweet moments, subtly laced with hidden angst. Then, the real "second female lead" appears and the real angst kicks in, leaving you heartbroken and agonizing throughout. The choice between two love potions is brilliant, a truly heart-wrenching moment 😭 The biggest twist: the person you thought was your savior isn't him at all! For those who love historical romance and angst, head over to "The Book of Two Realms: The Emperor's Imprisoned Phoenix Finally Breaks Its Neck"!

    Every single one of these books made me cry buckets. I highly recommend "Broken Promise." They were clearly in love, but the female lead's low self-esteem prevented them from being together. In the end, the female lead passed away, and the male lead married someone else. Only the second male lead remained unmarried his entire life. The male lead's actions felt very realistic to me—no one will love you forever. But the second male lead's story was also very heartbreaking. They were about to be together; the female lead had even accepted his proposal, but then she passed away forever.
