    These fit the bill perfectly. In the first book, alas, the heroine died in the end. Second, the heroine and the second hero died. Third, the heroine forgives the hero. The fourth and fifth are written by the same author. The content is connected. The sixth one is obvious at a glance. The male protagonist is in pain and wants to die. This is the seventh book. Book 8 must be familiar to you. Book 9, this feels particularly sad, but a bit long. The tenth book, the last one, I think it's pretty much the same.
