Here are some recommendations for quick transmigration BE (Bad Ending) novels ↓ ⭐The first one is already finished. It's a quick transmigration story with a soul transmigration element. Don't be fooled by other readers' reviews 😭 It's an extremely angsty BE novel, but the ending is a happy one. It's the kind of angst where knives rain down from the sky, making you cry until your eyes are dry. It has love, friendship, and family relationships, all of which are incredibly moving. The BE is particularly sophisticated, and the theme is novel. Each world has a powerful aftertaste, and you really can't predict the plot's direction. I really want to give the author a huge thumbs up! It's super good, you must read it!!! ❤️(｡￫V￩｡)❤️ ⭐The second one is already finished. You can check out the author's synopsis for this book. The theme is very different. I like the world of Bai Fenghuang and Jinlong the most. The whole world knows I love you, and I know you love the whole world, so you must love me too. Following the trajectory of the world, we are destined not to be together 💔 I'm crying so much dT-Tb "You love this world, so you love me too. And because I love you, I am willing to spend my whole life continuing to love this world."

Reader note

This story is beautiful. The female lead is Meng Po, the goddess of forgetfulness in the underworld. She has long silver hair, is aloof, gentle, and beautiful, and travels to various small worlds to help wronged souls fulfill their wishes. Each small world is a tragic ending within a perfect story. It's especially good. The female lead in each world has a very short lifespan because the novel's premise is that the female lead dies at the same time as the original owner of the body. She also needs to fulfill the wishes of the wronged souls while she's still alive. Each world is a tragic ending, and she dies when they love her most. She alone can hold up the sky. Her existence is the rule—"If there are no gods in the world, then I will become one." She truly sacrifices herself to save the world. The moonlight shines across the earth, and that thin, white figure becomes an indelible light in everyone's hearts—no one is born lowly, no one is born to do what others do, and a woman's chastity is never below the level of her skirt. "But A-Wu is a liar; even A-Wu herself can't prioritize loving herself." "The premise of everything is personal happiness; loving yourself is always the priority." She vanished into nothingness amidst the beautiful scenery, adding a final touch of red to that dilapidated and ugly world. "I say, I will offer my own body as a sacrifice to end the end times and allow life to continue." "I say... Wen Ya, forget me." Fragrance descended like snow, and the entire palace knew that their little princess had returned to the seat of Guanyin.
