   I almost couldn't get out of this book! I started reading it a year ago, and I still remember it vividly. I genuinely felt so disappointed while reading it. For a while, I left comments in the chapter reviews every day, begging the author for a happy ending. In the end, I almost felt disappointed. Those who like happy endings can finish reading, while those who like sad endings can stop reading when the male lead completely turns evil. You can treat it as two endings. Overall, I feel that the author wrote a happy ending entirely to cater to those who wanted a happy ending. In reality, following the plot, it should have been a disappointment. [Facepalm]

    The first two books are amazing! Highly recommended. Not for the faint of heart. They're by the same author, you'll see once you read them! The last two are a bittersweet, stinging pain. You might not feel like crying at the time, but the moment you recall them in the middle of the night, you'll feel like jumping off a building. It'll take a whole night to heal from those 15 minutes of tears. The fifth book is an extra chapter, and it'll definitely make you cry, my dear. The endings are all incredibly sweet! Hahahaha!

    The first two books are super good! Very highly recommended. Don't get too close to the tears. It's the same author, you'll know after reading it ~ The last two books are sour and painful. Maybe you didn't want to cry at the time, but when you remember it in your midnight dream, you really want to jump off the building. Fifteen minutes takes an evening to heal. The fifth book is a side story, it will make you die even more, dear. The summary is so sweet! Hahaha!

    I'd like to recommend a book I've been reading. It's mostly sweet at the beginning, but incredibly heart-wrenching later on, and the theme is excellent, as you can see from the epilogues. The book truly shines in the epilogues, exploring the theme of self-love amidst the pain of one's family of origin. Because it doesn't follow the "Tomato" trend (a popular online novel trend), its readership is consistently low, but it's definitely worth reading. It might seem a little boring at first, but please persevere. After finishing the entire book, you'll find that every sentence revolves around the theme, and every thought reveals its poignant nature. The author's own experiences are also incredibly painful; the epilogues are a kind of personal autobiography. In short, it's exceptionally good! Especially worth rereading!! Because it doesn't follow the "Tomato" trend, its style is gentle and understated, like a slow-burning stream, much like their real lives. It feels more like a diary entry. The ending is a hellish ending.
