    The first book features a character participating in a variety show (I think), where a machine helps him recall his past, revealing that everything was a misunderstanding (but personally, I think the mother of the character is really awful). The second book features a character with severe depression who frequently uses aversion therapy, cries constantly, and lacks self-confidence. The third book is about a 19-year unrequited love. The fourth book's title is self-explanatory, but the male lead doesn't die; it's all a misunderstanding. The fifth and sixth books are self-explanatory. The last book, I think, is alright; the character's scarred appearance is really tear-jerking. If you agree, please like and thank you.

Su pretended to be carefree and unrestrained in front of Zhou, even working as a hostess in private rooms.
