    These two books, both volumes, made me cry so much. Before reading this book, I thought angst-filled novels were only about romantic relationships, but this book truly explored love, friendship, family, and the ensemble cast—it was all so heartbreaking! At first, I thought the main couple was just a melodramatic mix; the male lead became the female lead's brother, and then you tell me that just because of this false identity, he has to die, and they both truly reach a dead end. The female lead, upholding the principle of "I love you, but I still have to kill you,"... Before dying, the male lead didn't beg for mercy or cry foul; he only asked the Empress to hate him because hate lasts longer than love! I was the male lead, and I had nothing from beginning to end, I did nothing wrong! Who understands? Even for a simple wish, he only dared to ask for hate, not love. He had an exceptionally high level of romantic infatuation, and it blossomed, only to be pierced through by the Empress's hairpin. The female lead was either undergoing tribulation or on her way to one. After reading the ending, I understood. This book isn't about love; it's about fate. I thought the female lead would just live a good life after the male lead died, but the female lead also has her own destiny. It's not about "I'll live well after you die" that makes someone a great female lead; it's about us all having our own destinies. She accepts it with a smile, single-handedly destroying the patriarchal royal shrine, and then bravely walking into the flames to complete her life's mission!
