She is not a strong female lead, just an ordinary person. The hero is genuinely insane and will never repent. She suffers terribly early on and is almost completely powerless to fight back.

    I'm not a big shot, I just want to give everyone a little bit of pain, just a tiny bit. For the first book, if you want more angst, go straight to chapter 64, or you can read the earlier chapters to build up the emotional tension. The second book is one of the more angsty ones I've read; basically every character has a knife to their heart—the protagonist, the supporting characters, the villains, and even a character who appears in only three chapters has a knife to their heart.

    All are bad endings. 4.8 Is romance, the rest are male-male pairings. 1. "I feel like I'm a burden." "But you're not a burden, you're my lover." "What will you do if I don't come back?" "Wait until the day you come back." (If I remember correctly, the ending is one of suicide and the other of severe depression.) I was caught off guard by the angst. [Crying] 3. "What is your relationship with him? Why are you apologizing for him?" "I am his lover." Xu You hugged the person in his arms tightly and said, word by word. "Young man, your lover is a madman." The ending is one of suicide by jumping into the sea and the other of falling seriously ill. 4. Doctor × Narcotics police officer. Two bitter gourds shouldn't have this ending. 5. The beginning is so sweet. [Crying][crying][crying] The end is so painful that I almost couldn't breathe. The ending is one of death and the other of a double suicide. I don't know how to tell you about the others. Just go and see for yourself.
