   The male lead is meticulous. Because Xiaodao disobeyed, he punished him, which includes scenes of imprisonment and brainwashing. Please watch with caution! "Xiaodao," he deliberately called out, "I told you yesterday, he won't come looking for you." "He won't come again." He added, his tone extremely gentle, yet still filled with cold malice. Sure enough, Jiang Yubai shook his head frantically after hearing his words, staggering back a few steps, his lips trembling uncontrollably. "No... It's impossible, Brother Shi Huai will come, he will definitely come to pick me up." Sheng Qianyang felt his patience was nearing its limit. If he heard that name he didn't want to hear again, he didn't know what crazy things he might do. He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and tightly embraced Jiang Yubai's thin, soft body, completely ignoring his struggles. "Xiaodao, be good." Sheng Qianyang wrapped one arm around Jiang Yubai and gently stroked his head with the other, soothing him gently. "Don't mention that person's name again..." Jiang Yubai was both shocked and frightened. He used all his strength to push away the man who was almost within reach, his eyes red and swollen, but he tried his best not to shed a single tear. "Don't call me that! I don't want you! I want Brother Shi Huai!" Sheng Qianyang hadn't expected that his small body would have such strength to push him away. Now, hearing this red-eyed boy roar at him like a wounded animal, his patience completely ran out. His eyes instantly turned gloomy and dark. He stared at Jiang Yubai for a long time before slowly speaking. "I didn't want to treat you like this, Xiaodao, but you're not good." Sheng Qianyang coldly enjoyed watching Jiang Yubai tremble after hearing his words. He quickly stepped forward, scooped him up, and restrained his struggles and kicks. Sheng Qianyang knew that Jiang Yubai was afraid of the dark, and that he was terrified of it. I'd heard Shi Huai mention before that Xiao Dao liked to sleep with him at night. Even when he had to sleep alone, he needed the little nightlight Shi Huai had given him to sleep soundly. Xiao Dao firmly believed that if he were alone in the dark, a ghost would crawl out from the darkness and grab his trouser leg. So, Jiang Yubai was always the most obedient when he slept, always completely wrapped in his blanket, only his cute, fluffy head showing, to prevent any ghosts from climbing onto the bed and pulling his trouser leg. But now, this Xiao Dao, so firmly afraid of the dark, was mercilessly thrown into the dimly lit basement by Sheng Qianyang, who cruelly slammed the heavy iron door shut. Sheng Qianyang leaned against the iron door, listening to Xiao Dao's desperate cries and banging on the door. He took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, the scarlet flame rising and falling, thick white smoke overflowing from his lips and dissipating in the air. For some reason, hearing the pitiful cries coming from behind the door, he felt a sudden, burning flame spread within him, a heat that nearly convulsed his heart. He didn't know how much time had passed, until he finally finished his cigarette, stubbed it out, and slowly opened the heavy iron door. The dark, damp basement had no windows; only a sliver of light pierced through the crack in the door. Sheng Qianyang saw Xiaodao, who had been crying and pounding on the door, now huddled in a corner, his head buried between his knees, trembling uncontrollably. Sheng Qianyang approached him, knelt down in front of him, and immediately noticed Xiaodao's hands, red and swollen from pounding on the door. Those delicate, smooth hands, once used to hold paintbrushes and skillfully display his artistic talent on the easel, were now pounding on that cold, heavy iron door. No matter how much force he used, he couldn't open the door that had locked him in darkness. How desperate he must have been then? Sheng Qianyang suddenly felt a pang of guilt, but no regret whatsoever. The disobedient little thing needed to be taught a lesson. He kicked open the door, picked him up, and carried him downstairs.

    Personally, I think these are great works. My favorites are "When I Stay" and "White Paper and Love" from the first book. The male lead's early death is my eternal regret. The white moonlight who died young is the most heartbreaking thing! The third book even made me feel sad in the extra chapters (except for the last few pages). The fourth book is based on the author's personal experience, and I think it is the most realistic of all the author's works.

    1. A short tragic love story intertwined with unrequited love and regret, told from a young girl's perspective, recounting a bittersweet romance that ends without fruition. The protagonist, Wanwan, secretly loves her best friend's lover, but writes in her diary, "I was prepared for everything, yet I still feel jealous," ultimately choosing to end her life. The writing is delicate and tear-jerking, depicting the emotional predicament and self-destructive tragedy of someone with low self-esteem. The ending, "Even in death, you will never know the extent of my unrequited love," strikes deeply. 2. A classic work of extreme tragic romance by Yu Shiqi, a tale of family feuds and love-hate relationships. The female protagonist, Xu Anran, deeply loves Shen Zhenan for over ten years, only to be utterly devastated by him. The story is permeated with the excruciating pain of "tearing apart bones and drinking blood," showcasing the destructive nature of intertwined love and hate. The author excels at tearing readers' emotions apart with sharp, visceral plots, earning her the title of "the pinnacle of tragic fiction," suitable for readers who enjoy emotional impact and deep entanglements. 3. A fast-paced transmigration/reverse-success story where the protagonist travels to different worlds to escape being labeled "hated by everyone." The plot revolves around revenge and defeating villains, with the protagonist reshaping their life through wit and plot twists. Each world has a fresh setting, from school to the entertainment industry, where the protagonist uses resilience and wisdom to turn the tide, combining satisfying moments of excitement with a growth storyline, suitable for readers who enjoy unconventional plots and underdog stories. 4. After being bound to a system, the protagonist becomes a "heartthrob" in various worlds, with targets ranging from domineering CEOs and immortals to villains.
