   The first book was the first novel I read on Taobao, and it was practically my happiest tragic love story; I couldn't get over it for a long time after finishing it. The second book was by the same author, and the sweeter it was at the beginning, the more heartbreaking it became later. The third book described the feelings of many people who fall in love with the same person as their best friend, but in the end, the boy she liked didn't even remember her name.

    It's better than a tragic ending. There's a prodigal son returning home, a white moonlight that can never come back, and a sense of national sentiment. Even though the ending is quite beautiful, there's a lingering feeling of suffocation. 280 Chapters is short enough. The male lead appears relatively late, but the emotional storyline is really delicate. The writing is superb.

    The female lead wasn't initially well-liked by her family, but after her younger sister was born, she received everyone's love. At first, her family simply told her to give way to her sister, but over time, she became disliked and resented. When she was a few years old, her sister begged her to take her out, and the sister got lost, but was later found. Her family didn't take her back; she was essentially abandoned. Or rather, not abandoned, because her family completely forgot about her—she was only a few years old! She struggled and struggled, and later, she discovered she had cancer and died.

    [A Hong Kong Business Tycoon X A Radiant Beauty] Xu Ge is a woman pampered and spoiled by a top Hong Kong tycoon. She's both obedient and arrogant. Until his fiancée appears. He personally banishes her abroad. He says, "Go, leave Hong Kong and never come back. Don't force me to personally see you off." He gave her ten years of doting affection, only to take it all away. When they meet again, her red lips are alluring: "Why are you hiding? I used to sleep in your arms..." His expression is cold and unmoved. Behind his back, however, he ruthlessly declares: "Dare to touch her, and I'll take your lives!"
