    Reader note

    These three are super short. I'm a lazy person but still want to read, so these are really short, only about 100 to 200 pages each. The first one left me heartbroken. I didn't cry, but it was very painful to finish. The beginning was sweet, but the ending really made me choke up. I've also brought you the epilogue (the epilogue is more heartbreaking than the main story, so read the main story first). The author's writing is excellent. The second one I just finished reading was about a female lead who had a crush on the male lead for many years, only for him to fall for her best friend. In the end, he didn't even know the female lead's name, which was incredibly heartbreaking. The last one had the male and female leads who truly loved each other, but the female lead died saving the male lead. I really loved it.
