   The first tragic romance novel + rebirth + 1V2 with two substitutes. The day my father fell seriously ill, I was so desperate I wanted to kneel on the bricks in front of his door until they wore through, but he wouldn't let me go home. Instead, he carried my cousin past me, saying, "Tonight I will favor you. Why would your cousin object?" He had sworn an oath with me, promising never to touch any woman in my family. The oath was a lie; the only truth was that he strangled me with his own hands. Reborn, I woke up to a whisper in my ear: "Kill him!" Here comes the story.

    I got hooked on the first book after seeing many readers criticizing the male lead in other book reviews on Tomato's website. It was indeed heartbreaking. The second and third books were written by the same author and had a similar style. They contained many seemingly independent short stories, each of which left me feeling unsatisfied and brought me to tears. The fourth book seemed to be narrated in the first person, and its simple narration touched my heart and also made me shed many tears. The fifth book was written in a more profound way and required a calm mind to appreciate. It was also quite heartbreaking.
