    Some of these novels I read on Douyin (TikTok) were both angsty and sweet. The angst was so intense it made my heart ache, my brow furrowed, and my eyes welled with tears. I wanted to scream! [Laughs][laughs] The first one was a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" story, the second and fourth were both physically and emotionally torturous, and the fourth had over 400,000 readers. The last one left me completely disoriented; I can't quite describe the feeling.
