   These are all highly-rated novels! The first one is a campus romance where the protagonist (gong) gradually redeems the other (shou) from the shadow of their dysfunctional family. Both are great stories! "A wise man doesn't have unrequited love; a coward has no spring." The second one features a shou with a terminal illness who, at 18, is labeled as not living past 20 and forced to reject the protagonist's confession. He goes to a lab for an experiment, but unexpectedly survives. Years later, they reunite and he decides to win back the protagonist. The protagonist has always loved the shou: "His Alpha has always waited for him, and that has never changed." The third one features a shou who was poor from childhood and was finally adopted. However, the adoptive couple finds their own child, who doesn't accept having an older brother. The shou silently leaves, only to encounter a psychopath who torments him. At the beginning, the shou reunites with the protagonist, who is a conflicted person who doesn't know how to express himself, as does the shou. Later, upon learning the reason for their separation, the protagonist cries in anguish: "This isn't the end; it's a wish fulfilled."

    🎉🎉🎉This story meets the topic requirements. It's really heart-wrenching in the middle, but it has a happy ending. It's a mutual redemption story, with the protagonist redeeming the other protagonist in the early stages, and the other protagonist redeeming the protagonist later. The story is roughly as follows: Xie Lin suffers from depression, is emotionally detached, and slow to react to emotions. Jian Ci makes a deal with the protagonist's father, requiring Xie to take care of Jian. Jian knows his problem and keeps pushing Xie away, not wanting anything to do with him. However, gradually, Jian realizes that Xie is special to him, and he can't live without him. He starts self-harming to get Jian's attention—it's quite crazy. It has a happy ending (HE).
