    So heartbreaking. She'd suffered countless summers, her love for him bittersweet. She'd loved him since birth, her childhood sweetheart, but she'd never dared confess, afraid of losing a friend. To love someone and remain a friend meant staying close to them. She'd study tirelessly, even if it meant coming in last place, just to be near him and catch a glimpse of him. He mocked her for being last, but she wasn't angry; instead, she congratulated and envied his first-place finish. Then, her wealthy roommate, the school beauty, appeared—a rival. Her life became precarious; his side no longer belonged to her. The school beauty asked her to deliver a love letter, which he assumed was… She confessed her feelings, but the trampled love letter left her heartbroken and devastated. She feigned amnesia, wanting to be brave once more, and found unprecedented happiness. His love was real until he discovered she had lied to him about her amnesia. She was abandoned, and she didn't want to talk to him anymore. After going on a trip, he promised to marry her the following year, but on this day next year, she received his engagement invitation. Her heart was in turmoil, and she stubbornly refused to go. Suddenly, she felt a deep bitterness, yet she still went out of jealousy. Then, even more desperate, she attended his wedding with the school beauty. She was supposed to be the one wearing the wedding dress, but why, while she was in agony, did he propose to her at the wedding with the school beauty's ring?

    The story begins with revenge, a bloody coronation ceremony. The female protagonist demands her enemies pay with their lives, but the evil spirit within her wants the entire world to perish. The first life ends in tragedy for everyone; the second life is planned to be a story of redemption. This is a self-recommendation of an ancient Chinese fantasy novel I'm currently writing; comments from all authors are welcome.

    Reader note

    Highly recommend "A Loquat Tree, Remembering You for the Rest of My Life"! The entire story is intensely angsty; everyone seems to have a happy ending, but it's actually a tragic one. The female lead is constantly aggrieved in the early stages, hating her boss's coldness and pickiness. The moment the truth is revealed, she breaks down completely. He uses harshness to toughen her up, giving her a new life with his life. She lives out the rest of her life carrying his heart, until her death in old age, with loquat trees bearing fruit at her grave every year. Unable to be together in life, they are buried together in death, their heartbeats continuing forever. A restrained and poignant love story of life and death; it will leave you feeling choked up. A must-read for those who appreciate tragic endings!
