    This was a super popular rebirth-themed angst novel on Douyin a while ago, but I haven't seen it recommended much lately. It's very angst-filled, so be careful if you're reading it. The first few chapters made me cry buckets, or maybe I'm just easily moved to tears.

    The first extremely tragic novel on Douyin (TikTok) features a heroine who only realizes he doesn't love her. It's a classic kidnapping scenario where she has to choose between two equally adorable men. He chooses his "white moonlight" (his ideal woman), and the heroine drowns in the Minjiang River… This first book is extremely tragic; the heroine doesn't come back to life, she's truly dead. It made me so angry my lungs hurt. I only kept reading because I wanted to see the male lead get his comeuppance. The heroine is very obedient; because she's mute, she didn't even utter a cry for help. She died so damn quietly!
