    The author personally recommends these two books, which I'm quite satisfied with so far. They have different backgrounds but are of the same genre, so I might want to check them out.

    Generally speaking, love is never sweet. It consists of 80% liking, 10% bitterness, and 10% pain. To truly hold someone in your heart, you must endure the agony of having your heart ripped out.

    The female lead's mother is very controlling, and her father is always indifferent to family matters, giving all the fatherly love that should belong to her to his first love, his daughter. The female lead suffers from severe depression. She saves the male lead one rainy night, and they become friends. She is gradually attracted to him and falls in love with him, but due to studies and family responsibilities, they slowly lose contact and their lives become disconnected. When she unexpectedly learns of his feelings for her, many years have passed. Completely devastated, she attempts suicide but is saved and reunited with him. She even becomes his father's patient, and he silently stays by her side, trying to redeem her. He confesses his feelings again, but she cannot accept them. Although she is saved, she is dependent on medication for the rest of her life. She constantly blames herself for affecting the male lead and cannot feel guilt towards him even after marriage. The pacing is slow, and the story is quite long. The female lead is somewhat weak, and her controlling mother is a bit infuriating at times. After being saved, the female lead's health is not good, and the relationship between the male and female leads develops very slowly. The plot is good, and if you find the elements acceptable, you can give it a try. However, if you're only attracted by the character settings, I wouldn't recommend watching it.
