    There was another book, but I couldn't find it when I tried to add it. Here's the title and author: "Ink Colors in Roses" by Xiao Xiangjun. The first book is based on a true story and is quite angsty. The second one is also angsty, but it has a happy ending. I initially read the third one as a novel and then saw a comic on Tomato magazine. The artwork wasn't particularly good, but it was still okay. I read the fourth one when the author was serializing it, but the updates slowed down, so I forgot some details. The early part was mainly angsty, especially the protagonist's suffering. I don't know about the later parts. The book I mentioned earlier, along with the first and second books, are all quite short.
