The closer that moment gets, the more you want to leave something behind in this world. But what should I leave? Assets lose value, and houses change hands. Nothing material can last forever.

   Reader note

   Warm reminder: (Read with caution if you don't like the protagonist being extremely dark) This is an autobiographical novel by the author, which is based on the author's personal experience + adaptation. The author's writing style is very good, and the content of the novel is relatively dark. The family situation, friend relationships, scenes and characters are all vividly depicted, making it very immersive to read. They work hard for their dreams together. The ending has a lot of twists and turns, so pay attention to the foreshadowing when watching. Personally, I feel that this novel is very suitable for those who had a dark childhood or have really experienced darkness. The whole novel has black experiences that you can't imagine. When you see the ending, you will feel that you have been reborn and resisted the darkness of the present. You don't need to care too much about the world. Live your life well and the future will still be glorious. Learn to let go and look forward to a better future.

    This one! Extremely cruel! I was tortured until I cried! Liver pain! A top-notch story about chasing a wife in the crematorium, a great story about a heroine who takes revenge and grows up. She is confident and free and easy. Every chapter is suspenseful, full of ups and downs, and the writing is concise and clear. The heroine is abused in the first part, and the male protagonist is tortured miserably in the second part. He is tortured to the point of scum, which is extremely satisfying.
