    This one! It's definitely a melodramatic and angsty novel. The first one is incredibly heart-wrenching; the protagonist loves them deeply, but neither of them reciprocates. The second one is also incredibly melodramatic. This author is known for this type of melodramatic and angsty novel, and they even finish developing the story of the side couples. The after-sales service is excellent; every couple is incredibly tragic.
