   For those who enjoy tragic endings (BE) novels, I highly recommend the following: The first book is very angsty at the beginning, but the male lead is reborn and becomes incredibly kind to the female lead later. The second book features a naive female lead and a deeply devoted male lead; the female lead dies of depression by jumping off a building. The third book, in my opinion, has a slightly yandere (obsessive and possessive) feel; the male lead's constant use of "sister" is so endearing, I really liked it. The fourth book is incredibly angsty towards the end; the female lead commits suicide after learning of the male lead's death—I cried buckets! The fifth book is incredibly sweet at the beginning, but becomes extremely angsty later on—I cried so much! The sixth book features a female lead who dies the day before the male lead confesses his love; it's truly a great read. Anyone who enjoys angst should definitely check it out!

    I've been married to Song Jinnian for five years, and he's still sensitive and conflicted, resorting to the silent treatment whenever we argue. The worst time was when he gave me the silent treatment for three months, just because I hitched a ride with a male colleague. For five years, I've been trying to appease him. If I hadn't witnessed firsthand his gentleness, patience, and constant compromise with his first love, Su He, I think I could have kept up the act for a while longer. "Why is there cilantro again?" I opened the dry pot shrimp he brought back and questioned him. "I forgot," he replied calmly, as if certain I wouldn't leave him. "Let's get a divorce," I said indifferently, my tone even. "Just because of the cilantro?" "Just because of the cilantro."
