    Just finished reading it, it was so tear-jerking! [Crying][almost crying] I often see this author recommended in angst-filled novels, and today I saw it, and it's true. It almost made me cry my eyes out. The beginning was quite light and ambiguous, the later part was sweet, and I cried from beginning to end throughout the middle, I even used up all the tissues. The relationship between Youyou (Yan Yan) and Cheng Yu was so bumpy. Yan Yan took the initiative to approach him, and Yu Ge was willing too. But the misunderstanding that led to an irreversible situation really hurt me. Later on, Yu Ge's family doted on Yan Yan, and finally, Yan Yan's relatives came looking for her. "I was so engrossed in the sweet story when I suddenly saw the ending." [Heart emoji] If you want to read more, I recommend the author's other novels, it's part of a series. But I haven't read them yet, everyone's recommending them, and the ratings are quite high. [Heart emoji]

    This is seriously... I'm crying my eyes out. This is another book about the Crown Prince written by Wen Yuan Party that has made me cry. The male protagonist, a prime minister, was born into a country on the verge of collapse. He was intelligent and carefree in his youth, struggled to survive in his early years, and finally became prime minister at the age of 15. However, he had to use his ailing body to prop up the crumbling empire, forcibly extending the dynasty's life for over 200 years… But he became ill from overwork, and his efforts to maintain peace and prosperity made him a universally reviled "traitorous prime minister." Unlike Zhuge Liang, who died after the Northern Expedition, he died from the emperor's suspicion, the misunderstandings of like-minded people, and the deaths and mutilations of those he cared about—a brutal form of slow slicing. The imperial advisor forcibly extended his life, but this only deepened the torment he suffered in his final days. Below is a summary of his past life written by a reader (please see the VCR) [crying][crying]. But… thankfully, this is an extra chapter, and the main text is about his "whitewashing" (or rather, the exoneration) in another world interspersed with the extra chapter. Please enjoy it with peace of mind. The second book is by Wen Yuan Dang, which is also very tear-jerking. I recommended it before; you can check it out on my homepage.

    All three are truly masterpieces. The first one, while a crossover anime, isn't particularly tear-jerking. However, it perfectly captures the theme of protecting others and sacrificing oneself. It even has a few tear-jerking moments. Most importantly, it's incredibly exciting!!! This is what young people should read. Don't just read the synopsis, thank you. Of course, it seems there's no female lead here. If you're looking for romance, you can stop here. In summary, if you want a thrilling and tear-jerking story, read this. We will ultimately fight alone! The second one features a protagonist with a strong sense of sacrifice. And its quality is guaranteed. Although the author doesn't like to write tragic stories, @ (author), I hate you. This is the highest quality EvA book I've read so far! And like the protagonist of the previous one, he silently protects others, swallowing his sorrow. And the author here supports random pairings. In summary: the tear-jerking moments are a bit higher than the previous one, but you should at least have read some EvA beforehand, which is normal. After all, it's fan fiction. The battle scenes are incredibly exciting! It's an uncontrollable primal hunger. The protagonist of the third book isn't exactly a saint. I didn't finish it, but he does protect others and sacrifice himself, which counts as half of it—after all, he genuinely sacrificed himself to protect others. And most of the story focuses on the protagonist's romantic relationships, which are described very delicately. The most important highlight here is the presence of at least three female leads: a yandere, a cute, and a tsundere. I feel we can expect a similar turn in the story of Su Ying from "The Quintessential Quintuplets." In summary: a good book. The tearjerker moments aren't too strong, but the author might start throwing in some angst later. Your repeated indulgences will only drive them crazier; you've already become their medicine.
