   I only read a few angst-filled novels; I couldn't find anything to cry about in the others, except for "Bone-Crushing Love." These were the only ones that made me cry. There was one where the male lead seemed to die later, unlike the others where the male lead forgave the female lead.

   I highly recommend this book! Jiang Xuewei never dared to dream of marrying the man she had secretly loved for so many years.

But when Han Yueche resolutely pushed her out to take the blame for her sister, she realized that he had always loved her sister!
