    Reader note

    Chapter 8. The first book, Wanwan, really made me cry so much 😭😭😭, it's a coming-of-age story filled with painful memories. It's about two best friends who both fall for the same boy, and it has a tragic ending. The female lead has a crush on the male lead for five years, but she can't get him. Her mother is also killed by her father due to domestic violence. It's so heartbreaking, a 13,000-word novel about unrequited love. The female lead witnesses her mother being stabbed to death, and the person she has a crush on kisses her best friend. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I hope Wanwan and her mother will be happy in their next life!! Chapter 9. The second book is, well, a sweet romance (please don't scold me if it isn't). The male and female leads were roommates in high school. The male lead helps his friend pursue the female lead, but ends up falling in love with her instead. (Well, there's one minor red flag for me: the flowers and CD the male lead's friend gives the female lead (the male lead specifically bought a CD player). The female lead assumes they're from the male lead (and she always thinks he has a crush on her, and later they do like each other). The male lead doesn't explain. Later, in a haunted house or some kind of escape room game, the female lead discovers that the handwriting on the card with the flowers matches the handwriting on the card. She asks the male lead and finds out that the previous gifts were from his friend. By then, the male and female leads already have feelings for each other.) Then, it seems to be the male lead's adoptive father (or maybe his biological father; it seems the male lead was adopted as a child, but it's unclear if he's biologically related. Probably biologically related, since it's mentioned later that the male lead's mother went abroad). He gets together with the female lead's aunt. (Yes, the female lead's mother and father got together, and the mother got pregnant. The father didn't take responsibility and later got married. The mother forgot about it. The aunt also didn't get married because of this.) The male and female leads could be considered "siblings." I entered the story because of the synopsis, which is quite early in the text, in the first two chapters.

The female lead's husband is forcing her to divorce him for his "white moonlight" (a term of endearment for a past love). She lies and says she's pregnant, but her ex-husband's words, "I'll accompany you to have an abortion after we get our marriage certificate," break her heart. After the female lead joins the army, her ex-husband regrets it and goes crazy, but she has already found someone else.
