   The first book has a world called "The Red High Heels of the Dimension," which needs no introduction. The second book was a bit too angsty and made me cry. The third book's female protagonist cultivates ruthlessness, but she is a compassionate god. She paves the way for everyone but never thinks of herself, which really made me cry.

The cold, taciturn, and aloof shell he usually wore had completely shattered, revealing a body riddled with wounds, a heart full of despair, both mad and fragile, both stubborn and pitiful.

    I've never liked reading tragic ending (BE) novels, but "Please Keep Your Heart Down" was the first BE novel I ever read. Before reading it, I thought it would be a sweet story, but I didn't realize it until the end. Although it's my type, there's no denying the author's excellent writing and the many foreshadowing elements. After reading about the male and female leads, I finally understood the true value of the phrase, "You should find someone who is good to begin with; I'm not just someone who's nice to you." The male and female leads have very positive values, and their relationship is a slow and steady one, showcasing genuine good manners.

    The first book features a male protagonist with cancer. The second book has the male protagonist dying during a mission. The third book doesn't have severe physical abuse; it's about the male protagonist's remorse after the female protagonist's death. The two were originally quite in love, but things changed because of the male protagonist's parents. The fourth book is very complicated; I recommend reading it yourself. The fifth book is a gentle kind of angst, but it's very painful to read. The sixth book has the two secretly in love but don't end up together; it made me cry buckets. The first five books don't have high ratings, but I personally think they're good.

[Crying][crying][crying][crying] In the first book, the female lead died on her way home from work in a black cab. 21 Years later, she returned, unchanged, still 18 years old. But the male lead already had a wife. In the end, it was all a lie, a figment of the male lead's imagination. What hurt me the most was that the male lead acted like he was talking to thin air every day, and everyone around him was acting along with him. [Crying][crying] In the second book, I felt so sorry for her. [Almost crying][almost crying][almost crying]
