    Let me preface this by saying that I myself am very easily moved to tears. I have read most of the angst-filled novels on Tomato, and I made myself cry while reading three carefully selected ones. However, this is just for reference and is entirely my personal opinion. The first book is truly a double twist; the sweeter it is at the beginning, the more heartbreaking it becomes later. The male lead truly loved the female lead his whole life. The second book really touched my heart the most. If you're easily moved to tears, don't read it, or you might cry yourself to death. The beginning of the third book was okay, but the middle part was quite heart-wrenching. For those who are easily moved to tears, read the second book; for those who are easily moved to tears, read the first or third book.
