    This book is incredibly angsty. The female lead is framed by a man and suffers a miscarriage. Furthermore, the male lead kills her mother and disposes of her ashes. Her child is also prematurely delivered. She finds redemption in the second male lead, but he too is killed by the male lead. Ultimately, she becomes corrupted and turns to the dark side.

    The story is a brutal one. Ugly and poor, she harbored a secret crush on the aloof school heartthrob during her innocent and bittersweet youth. She finally mustered the courage to confess, only to have her pride trampled upon countless times. She swallowed her bitter tears, enduring his cold mockery and the insults of everyone else, who declared her unworthy. He even played basketball while comfortably drinking the Americanos she always brought him, and she had to watch as if nothing had happened, jealous of his seemingly perfect relationship with her online lover. When her online lover sought help to defile her, he responded with cold indifference. He began passionately yet restrainedly, protecting her after she publicly framed him, but it was too late; all love had shattered into hatred, yet it wasn't complete. Even after amnesia, she repeatedly fell in love with the person she liked at first sight, marrying him after becoming pregnant. After regaining her memory, she lost all hope in him and considered divorce and escaping him. After many years apart, why did their broken relationship reunite? What turning point led her to need his help?

    The Queen of Tragic Novels' most celebrated masterpieces!! Each one is top-tier! Exceptionally good, intelligent and logical, so heart-wrenching you won't forget them for a long time! The female leads are charming, clear-headed, and rational, ultimately achieving both fame and fortune, possessing immense power, but they are still quite heart-wrenching to read 😭 1: Domestic Strife + Palace Intrigue 🩷 A bit tear-jerking, similar to the melancholy of an unfulfilled love 😭 My white moonlight female supporting character, she did nothing wrong, yet I feel so sorry for her 😭 The daughter of a jade merchant meets a fallen prince who has been living among the common people, but there is no spark of romance until they fight assassins in a dilapidated temple, and she falls in love with him. However, he falls in love with another extremely delicate woman, and by chance, he is helped to ascend the throne by a powerful minister. 👑🍅 He doesn't love her, but respects her and needs her wisdom to help him navigate between the powerful minister and the imperial power. She also lives peacefully with his lover. She loved him, so she loved him in a way that the male lead liked. 😍🍅 In the end, it was that seemingly weak woman who protected the female lead with her own life until the very end. 😊 After reading it, one feels a sense of loss. It's a rare story where the male and female leads don't fall in love, but rather need to use each other. There's no competition between them, and the story has a strong aftertaste. 2: Palace Intrigue and Power ❤️ The seemingly ruthless female lead was born a slave, but she had the appearance of a phoenix. The head mistress not only didn't kill her, but also spent a lot of money to cultivate her and build her up, successfully sending her into the palace. The young emperor, the male lead, truly fell in love with her at first sight 💘 and immediately made her empress 👑 To protect the secret of her background and her power, she was constantly plotting to use external forces to overthrow her enemies. She almost wiped out the harem, but the emperor, who loved her to the bone, couldn't bring himself to punish her, and couldn't even ignore her. 😍 The most divine part is the final deathbed confession. The emperor already knew the female lead was originally a slave, and he also knew she was ruthless and a mass murderer. But he was only grateful that he was the emperor and could help her. However, he also longed to be protected by her without hesitation just once. 😭 Super tear-jerking. 3: A divine work with profound thoughts and a strong sense of national sentiment. It has great depth, very positive values, and is also a high-level female-oriented story. It really amazed me! ️ Two strong intellectual lovers. I couldn't forget it for a long time after finishing it. ✌️🏆 The male lead is a spirited young general. However, in the chaotic world, he had to hide his identity, but his passion remained unchanged. ❤️ In the end, the male lead regained his identity as a young marshal and rushed to the battlefield, but he never returned. The female lead's mother was a wealthy socialite, and she was the most rebellious heiress, always ready to fight anyone she saw. However, her mother was assassinated while protecting cultural relics and supplying the front lines. This experience shattered her worldview, causing her to mature overnight. While studying abroad, she investigated the truth behind her mother's death and met the patriotic young man who had been supported by her mother. Their meeting seemed destined, as if by blood, leading them to embark on a path of protecting their country. The romance is incredibly sweet!

    This is a story about a twisted love affair. I started reading it with a casual, gossipy attitude, but I ended up crying for the female lead in the later chapters. The despicable villain even disguised himself as the male lead and wanted to chop him up and throw him into the Atlantic Ocean to feed the fish.
