    This is an incredibly heart-wrenching book. The male and female leads struggle through life, but it still ends in a tragic ending. I cried buckets! It's so frustrating! The second male lead is also extremely devoted, which is very touching. The love triangle is so captivating! I love the author's subtle Chinese-style writing and melancholic tone.

    Workplace Counterattack | A scumbag and his mistress conspired to fabricate a recording, trying to get me fired? While he was teaching his new girlfriend how to use my oven, I stumbled upon their chat history of framing me. "Anonymously report her for bullying; we'll get married when she loses her job." I turned the tables, turning the fabricated recording into irrefutable evidence of his workplace sexual harassment. The day the CEO personally apologized, I handed in my resignation and flew to an island. This kind of man deserves to live in the graveyard of social media. #WorkplaceCounterattack #SatisfyingNovel #ScumbagCrematorium
