    The first book mainly uses a macro-level narrative, with the angst hidden in very plain language. The second book, despite its lower rating, is a solid 9/10; it doesn't have many angsts, but they are well-crafted and will leave you feeling bittersweet. I won't comment on the third book. The fourth book, spanning lifetimes 1-9, is quite angsty.

    I think it's pretty heart-wrenching, I'm crying so much! The first book, the Venti arc, was so heartbreaking, and the last two chapters were just too painful! Author, all I want to say is keep it up, don't hold back the angst! I think the second book is also heart-wrenching, I'm not being serious, I think I'm a bit too easily moved to tears, so I'm crying my eyes out! Any other heart-wrenching books you'd recommend? Hahaha, I love heart-wrenching stories, don't stop me!

    1. The first two are short stories, you can finish them in ten minutes. 2. These two books aren't too angsty, but there's a subtle melancholy throughout. 3. This one is really angsty 😭 4. 5. These two are somewhat similar, both set in the imperial palace, but the former focuses on the substitute, while the latter focuses on regret. 6. You can tell from the title that it's angsty, the female lead doesn't forgive. 7. This is truly my top 1 angst novel, it has a angst about family relationships [crying][crying][crying] 8. This one is also very good, it has angst. 10. 11. They are written by the same author, the two books are slightly related, both are about unrequited love. In the 10th book, the male and female leads realize their feelings for each other at the end, but they can no longer be together, but the parallel world epilogue is a happy ending. In the 11th book, the female lead confesses, but it's already too late, they can't be together.

    Not only are there many, but he's also ruthless (இωஇ ) The ending is a happy ending!!! "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, for time waits for no one." Super good writing, excellent values, not misogynistic or pandering to men, respects women, Snake loves him the most, only Snake can save him, early rivals, mutual pursuit and mutual redemption, mixed with reconciliation, I understand so well! Illiterate, loyal, love-obsessed Snake × Cold, love-obsessed, life-obsessed Immortal Lord, only Liu Zhezhi... Nothing is left, this time not even a wisp of soul will remain, the god received the sacrifice of the two, but in the end, he sacrificed himself to fate, to give everyone a glimmer of hope. The god fell silently, so that the living would not be troubled by grief, he would rather personally erase all traces of his existence. It was like this back then, and it is like this today, a calamity that wiped out all living beings, in the end, it is the only god in this world who fell, protecting everyone. The serpent sacrificed its body, and the elder brother sacrificed his soul and divine essence. Today, they achieved a great victory, and the Heavenly Dao was thus destroyed. However, Liu Zhezhi could no longer control himself and collapsed to his knees, blood continuously flowing from the corner of his mouth. He had not failed the common people, nor his Daoist partner, and even died alongside his brother. Liu Zhezhi did not want to owe anyone anything. He could never learn to enjoy the kindness of others with a clear conscience; he only ever brought suffering upon himself. "My elder brother... My elder brother is omnipotent. I was raised by my elder brother. I am Liu Fuchuan. Although I am not as concerned about the common people as my elder brother, he taught me to... To distinguish right from wrong. I will not be misled by anyone. I will never... Never betray my elder brother..." "I forgot to tell you, when you were undergoing tribulation in the mortal realm, you shot me with your own hands for the sake of the common people. I never blamed you. If you had given up the common people for me, you would not be Liu Zhezhi." "It is right that the common people are above all else. For the sake of the common people... It is right to sacrifice anyone." Mo Yan's eyes were bloodshot. "He only wanted to protect his common people. He didn't care about life and death. He left himself no way out. He had no way out!" "Elder sister." Liu Zhezhi seemed not to hear her words. She just kept talking to herself, "What is love? I can't even give him my life. I still have to protect him, protect the people of this world." The god who ruled the divine realm for hundreds of thousands of years died and disappeared. His body and flesh turned into countless spiritual energies to nourish the mountains and rivers of the divine realm, forever protecting his common people. "When I return, all people will be at peace, and the world will be tranquil." "Five hundred years! Liu Zhezhi will vanquish demons and protect the righteous path for five hundred years!" "Liu Zhezhi, just keep moving forward, don't look back. You protect the people, and I will protect... Forever protect you..." "The people are above all else." "You dragged Liu Zhezhi down from his pedestal, but today I'll lift him back up!" Don't drag anyone down from their pedestal; if you have the ability, climb back up yourself. "Liu Zhezhi, go, go protect your people. Back then, I was ignorant; I didn't understand why the people were more important than me. Now... You're not wrong, you've always been right." The only god protected the people and gave his life to his Daoist partner. She wanted to say that Liu Fuchuan's sacrifice was useless; Liu Zhezhi had already given his only chance of survival to Mo Yan. The people were his responsibility, and Mo Yan was Liu Zhezhi's unwavering devotion. The god, his name was Liu Zhezhi, who died millions of years ago, generously sacrificing himself for the people, not seeking eternal fame, but only a clear conscience. Liu Zhezhi's once black hair had turned completely white overnight, a testament to the passing of her beloved.
