    "The person I like has a light within them, a light that shines without being dazzling, a light that blends into the dust." Actually, compared to novels with happy endings, I prefer novels with tragic endings. In this world, separations and reunions, and unrequited love are the norm. These novels are truly highly recommended! 1. The first book tells the story of two couples. "I thought you were my salvation, but I found you were just another abyss." My friends, it was truly heartbreaking from beginning to end. It's not that I didn't love you, it's just that I realized it too late. [Almost crying] 2. The second book is one I recently finished reading. To be honest, I've always considered myself a seasoned reader of angst, so I approached this book with a very calm mindset. Everything was fine at first, but slowly I got hooked, folks, it's got a strong aftertaste! 3. "Jiang Sui, the end of the road is light" - the third book is also very heart-wrenching. I've read this one three times already. After each reading, I write a page of reflections, and now I've written three pages. Looking back at these reflections now, each time is different, and they're all very poignant. Seriously, I recommend everyone give it a try [crying] (Han Di & Sui Sui)

    Reader note

    All these are angst-filled novels! How could this one be missing?! This one is incredibly cruel to the female lead in the beginning. She loves the male lead deeply, but he looks down on her and casually gives her away. After she becomes a slave, he personally brands her with his slave mark. Although he "doesn't slap women," he still chokes her, forces her to kowtow, and rapes her. The female lead loses her child, and he's an accomplice, albeit unintentionally. However, the later part of the story is extremely cruel to the male lead. There's no story of the male lead regretting his life after the female lead dies, nor is there any plot where the male lead suffers the pain of the female lead's injury. The female lead is put to the brink of death and then reborn. Even their reunion is part of a plan. Later, he even uses poison to kill her heart and creates a complete death trap. Watching the male lead vomit blood while humbly begging for love is incredibly satisfying, especially since the female lead initially acts to make him believe they can make amends for each other for a lifetime. Little did he know that she was scheming all along, worrying about him until he was deeply entangled before pushing him into hell. Overall, it's all angst, both heart-wrenching and exhilarating, very exciting. It's almost the end, and the epilogue even includes some heart-wrenching moments with the secondary couple.
