   I don't know if everyone prefers BG (romance/male-female lead) or BL (boys' love/two male leads), so I'll start with romance. These are all novels I read in 2023, all with tragic endings, almost all bittersweet. The first one was a novel written by the female lead that became popular. The story is told from the female lead's perspective, interweaving past and present. However, in the past, the male lead eventually has his own lover, and the female lead quietly deletes her account one night. It's rumored that the author is based on this character, and Zhi9 has only written this one book to date. The second one, well, what if love has a time difference? What if neither of us ever spoke? This one is like eating a lime. At first... I thought it would just be bittersweet, but after finishing it, I realized it was heart-wrenching pain. The third book is about unrequited love from beginning to end, but the knight isn't there to be with the princess forever. Actually, there are many real-life events that inspired the author's stories. It hurts so much! The fourth book, "Broken Promise," is the one where I most wanted the protagonist to have a god's-eye view. I even considered writing a short story where they could have a happy ending, but then I felt that this was good enough. In the end, the female lead sacrifices herself for her country, the male lead marries the woman he later falls in love with, the second male lead never marries, and the storyline of the male and female lead's child is also a tragic one. The fifth book was recommended by a senior in the same year. The characters are well-developed, and the male lead's family are also nameless heroes who sacrificed themselves for the people. However, I was busy preparing for exams back then and didn't finish it. I put it aside and only found it recently when I was organizing my reading list. I plan to reread what I've read and then see how many people are looking for BL books. If so, I'll do another BL book recommendation.

He was also a member of the school bullies; everyone bullied and harassed her simply because she was ugly.

Loving someone she couldn't have, tears streamed down her face. She still had to bring him Americano, who loved playing basketball. Watching him and his beloved, a seemingly perfect couple, she felt a shameful, unrequited jealousy, pretending nothing was wrong. He tolerated everyone insulting her, saying she was ugly and unworthy of him. His unrequited love sought help from an online dating partner to defile her, only to be met with cold indifference. He began to love her, protecting her when she was publicly humiliated, but it was too late. Her love was shattered; she realized he was just an ordinary man.

    Reader note

    A gentle female lead and a stubborn male lead. For me, it's a tragic ending. The male lead watches the female lead in his arms disappear into the horizon, and finally, unable to hold back, he has a dream. The scene in the dream is just like their first meeting; the gentle and lively female lead reaches out to him, who is now filthy. "Amidst the clamor of a large gathering, Pei Heng embraces and kisses his lover. His burning love turns into tears in the corners of his eyes, and the girl in his arms disappears into the distant horizon with the wind." The dream goes like this: "He seemed to have a very long dream. He returned to that dirty, chaotic, and cold slave market. A girl in a yellow dress walked straight towards him with a smile." She looked at him without glancing at him, her eyebrows curving, "This person, I want." This is a quote from the book: "All along, I have been grateful to have met you." Although your appearance is as short as its blooming season... But, you are still the purest and most flawless white epiphyllum in my heart.
