Only 37 chapters, pure heartbreak that made me cry. Seeing the female lead, her life hanging by a thread, desperately trying to save her child by climbing down the stairs to safety, I couldn't hold back my tears and almost wanted to kill the male lead. For over twenty years, Shen Siyin stubbornly loved Xiao Zonghan. Even after seven years of marriage, enduring his resentment, hatred, disgust, coldness, and mockery, even seeing him bring other women home, she never considered giving up on him. But when he pushed her away, abandoned the child she had risked her life to protect, call the child a bastard, and turned to send her seemingly pitiful "white moonlight" to the hospital, Shen Siyin felt a chilling hatred for Xiao Zonghan for the first time. Later, even at the end of her life, she refused to see him again, leaving quietly. The moment the truth came out was also the moment he lost her forever—a tragic ending, a lifelong regret.

The first book is widely recognized as one of the pinnacles of angst-filled fiction. The second book has already been adapted into a short drama. The third and fourth books are incredibly tear-jerking; you can basically cry from beginning to end. The most heart-wrenching parts are the later chapters. The last five books are about unrequited love in youth, and they are also very poignant.

Part One: This story tells of the tragedy of a man and woman deeply in love but unable to be together. The female lead dies young, and the male lead spends the rest of his life in longing. Reviewers consider this part the most heart-wrenching. The story unfolds through the female lead's calm, seemingly naive narration, only revealing at the end that she was merely pretending and silently enduring everything. The entire text is filled with sadness and heartache, with the epilogue delivering an even stronger emotional impact. All the main characters in the story experience tragic lives. Part Two: Although the male and female leads are in love, the female lead is consumed by hatred, and the story ends with the male lead's death. Part Three: The male lead is a victim of the power struggle within the imperial court; even after marrying the female lead, they ultimately cannot be together.

① Just finished reading it. It's only 20,000 words, and I finished it in just over ten minutes. I cried the whole time. The author is so good at writing. "In this vast world, there is no one who loves me." A final letter left for my lover. ② The male lead dies of cancer. The female lead learns the truth four years later and commits suicide for love. I really couldn't hold back my tears when I read the male lead's diary. I cried so hard. My head was buzzing after I finished crying. And it's super short, you can finish it in twenty minutes. ③ Little fish, little fish, swim quickly, free in all directions. Super heartbreaking ④ It's not that he didn't love her anymore, it's not that there was anyone else, it wasn't like this before, it's that... Wen Ci... Was the most unrestrained... But the little Ci who was so afraid of pain actually committed suicide in the end, and even lost the only tile that belonged to him. That proud genius violinist will never come back... Zhou Ying, if you can do it all over again, let Wen Ci go... ⑤ I cried all day, I kept crying. I don't think it's heartbreaking, it's super heartbreaking. My mouth was full of bitterness from crying. How can a person's life be so difficult... He lived with his life, and I watched with my life. ⑥ Dual male leads, bad ending, "Boss, please accept me earlier in your next life, okay?", Only 52 chapters, made me cry like a dog. ⑦ Unsatisfied, a book that was ruined by the title. There are only 5 chapters, which can be read in 10 minutes. I didn't cry while reading, but when I saw the extra chapters on the author's homepage, I couldn't help it. ⑧ Super heartbreaking! Especially the first world. I cried my eyes out while reading it in my dormitory at night, and I didn't dare to make a sound. Every dimension ends with the female lead's death! It's so incredibly moving!!
