   Extremely heart-wrenching, the kind that will break your heart ✨ A must-read for those looking for something to read | "The Cui Family's Last Words - I, the Cui Family, wait for no one, only..." ✨ Short story, female-oriented derivative (currently niche but with immense staying power) High-energy warning: This is truly heart-wrenching! The synopsis alone conveys the protagonist's arrogance and tragedy; the characters are fully developed, and the plot is brutally honest. No melodramatic misunderstandings, only the cruel twists of fate that leave no one waiting. This short story has a stronger impact than many longer works, leaving you with a profound sense of unease. Sisters looking for extremely heart-wrenching stories shouldn't miss this; it truly cuts to the bone. Enter at your own risk (don't blame me after you cry) 🥀.

It's extremely 🔪, with a bad ending, but the writing is superb. 📕②The second one is a double substitute type. The female lead uses the male lead as a substitute, and the male lead also uses the female lead as a substitute. It's a story of initial torment followed by pursuit, very angsty, but with two endings. 📕③The third one has the male lead experiencing betrayal from two girlfriends, both of whom experience a "husband-chasing-after-the-husband" scenario.

    Reader note

    I found all three books incredibly heart-wrenching. In the first book, one of the female protagonists comes from a world of "resource scarcity" (I'm not sure if that's the right way to describe it, but that's how I felt). Only those with excellent grades can live in a good house. Her parents, in their pursuit of this, destroyed her emotional well-being, and fearing discovery, drugged her, ultimately destroying her. His fear was that others would suffer the same fate as him [crying][crying]. In the second book, even knowing he was a fake, I still felt like crying, especially the line in the first world, "Sister, it's such a pity, we can't wait for winter," which really made me cry [crying]. The world about friendship was also incredibly heart-wrenching; I highly recommend it. The third book, in my opinion, is the most heart-wrenching of all the books I've read. "Wu Xing, the Unfortunate One" [almost crying], it felt so suffocating, a true tearjerker. "The tragic ending of 'Wu Xing,' which began forty years ago, was destined from the very beginning." [Crying]. I highly recommend all three books; if you like heart-wrenching stories, you should definitely give them a try.

    Before her rebirth, she was a spoiled, willful, arrogant, and dazzling princess; after her rebirth, she became a melancholic, sentimental, and sensitive lady. Even if they were reunited, the cracks would still remain. This novel is truly well-written, very realistic, and highly immersive. 🌴
