    The author's writing is excellent. I just finished reading this author, who has already published 15 novels on Tomato, mostly youth and campus novels. Good articles will not be buried. This boy who accompanied me through my youth saw me gradually drift away from him and enter other people's worlds, and he found himself helpless (this is the second male lead in the novel). I grew my hair long and had bangs; I used my long hair and bangs to cover up my inferiority complex and protect my self-esteem (as described by the female protagonist in the novel). This novel is really good. It's quite long, so I can't type it out here. There are only a few chapters, about ten each, divided into five parts. It's quite heartbreaking.

    I highly recommend "If the Forest Had a Fairy Tale," "When Dawn Breaks, You'll Be Back," and "He's in the South of the Clouds"—they're so incredibly moving and heart-wrenching, you'll regret it if you don't watch them!
