    Can I list the pinnacle of Republican-era tragic romance novels? "Sir, you've mistaken me for someone else. My name is Chiba Kaoruko, and I grew up in Japan." Turning the corner, she crouched down in a secluded spot, covering her mouth and weeping silently. "Don't touch me! If you dare touch me, I'll kill myself by banging my head against the wall!" *He silently slept on the floor for four months. Until she was slapped by her older brother—he rushed to protect her, his eyes red as he gently stroked her cheek: "Does it hurt?" * "When you come back…I have a surprise for you." It was the news of her pregnancy. He would never receive this gift again. "In my entire life, I've only ever hurt you; I've never touched her in the slightest." "If there's a next life, let's be an ordinary couple, okay?" She answered, "Yes. Okay." But her gaze was fixed on Jiangnan, on the man in the blue robe by the river that year. She loved him, but gave her life to another. She gave her life, but her heart could never be retrieved. This isn't a fast-paced, satisfying story; it's a slow, painful stab. "Butterfly Shadow Returns to Dust" | The Pinnacle of Republican-Era Torture Romance | A Must-Read for Those Who Love a Tragic Ending
