    These are all classics. This is my first quick transmigration novel, and every short story is heartbreaking. The greatest cruelty is not destruction and despair, but giving people beauty and hope first, and then slowly destroying it all yourself. The second book is a contemporary romance, and the writing is excellent. The third book's ending was already predetermined from the beginning, like an endless, long night. However, the content is rather obscure; one doesn't understand the meaning at first, but upon rereading, one is already on stage. The fourth book is a traditional fantasy romance novel about love and hate, in which the lovers eventually become strangers. In the fifth book, the female protagonist dies, the male protagonist becomes a monk, and the author also dies.
