   Speaking of unrequited love, the first book I recommended is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of unrequited love novels. I've reread it four times. My emotional journey in the early stages was nothing but heartache, heartache, and more heartache—it's hard to describe. The female lead, Jiang Yue, falls in love at first sight with the male lead, Xu Chao, on a path on campus during the first day of school. She's always been quiet and unremarkable in school, practically invisible in her class, leading an ordinary life. And in the early stages, as a student with bangs, she's not particularly attractive and quite insecure. So, despite liking the male lead, she only likes him silently, only secretly observing him. In the early stages, it's all about school life, and she doesn't interact much with him; to be precise, he doesn't even notice her. It's all her doing, secretly watching him. What I remember most vividly is the sports meet, where she wasn't good at sports, but she still watched him or something (I forget). Yes, but it's related to the male lead. She signed up for the 3000-meter race (or was it 1500 meters?). At that time, the male lead was pursuing the school beauty (because the school beauty saved him when he was a child, and the male lead thought that meant he liked her). The school beauty also participated in the 3000-meter race. When the female lead was exhausted at the end, she saw the male lead at the finish line and thought that the male lead was looking at her (the male and female leads were classmates), so she got motivated. But when she reached the finish line, the male lead was waiting for the school beauty and handed her a cup of hot water. The school beauty said that they had agreed to drink cold water. Then the male lead told the school beauty that she was still on her period and couldn't drink cold water. The female lead was listening to this, and I felt a little sad when I watched this part (the school beauty wasn't a good person and was stringing the male lead along). Another memorable part was when the female lead was writing her name. There was a poem on the test paper, which was the female lead's name with multiple pronunciations, Jiang Yue. The female lead secretly traced the two characters on the male lead's test paper and was happy for a few days, treasuring it like it was something special. The female lead has a diary filled with entries about her unrequited love for the male lead, and it made my heart ache while reading it. The school days passed in less than ten chapters, and thankfully they were over, otherwise I would have cried my eyes out. After graduating from university and finding jobs, the female lead studied photography, while the male lead started a company. She reunited with him, but he had to spend more time with her before he started to like her. In short, unrequited love is truly painful. The second book also features the female lead liking the male lead during her student days. The novel begins with the male lead finding a job, and it doesn't depict their student days, which makes the novel quite heartbreaking, since the male lead already liked the female lead from the start, and it was a mutual pursuit. The third book mostly depicts their student days.

    I highly recommend these books, especially the first three. I've reread them several times. The first one is a bit more realistic, with a long-awaited reunion and a fast-paced plot. The second one is completely hook-up material—it's really hard not to love it, and the values ​​are incredibly positive. The third one is really well-written; the sweetness is natural, not the kind of sudden, inexplicable attraction. I highly recommend the first three. The others are also very positive and cover a wide range of genres, including prodigal sons returning home, arranged marriages that blossom into love, and long-awaited reunions where the other person turns out to be the boss.

    The first two books are about the female lead having a crush on the male lead, and later they reunite. The male lead then pursues her. The beginning is a bit angsty, but the ending is very sweet. The third book is a angsty novel. If you can't handle that, you can read the first two books; they are both very good.
