    🔥This is the first book I'll read! "I'll Witness Your Wedding as Your Legal Wife" – no female rivalry, no melodramatic catfights, everyone is a victim of fate. Arranged marriages, lovers trapped by societal norms, the shackles of feudal clans. The scene where he cleans the bodies by hand in the Icelandic morgue – a quiet sorrow that shatters all defenses 😭 That voice message that always fails to send is his confession he never delivered. The strong female lead is clear-headed and not love-struck; she inherits all the property, but can't achieve a happy ending. A must-read for fans of tragic endings and angst; you'll feel depressed for hours after finishing it.

In the first story, the female lead is based on a real-life situation, but in the end, the male lead in the real world marries someone else, and she can only watch silently. In the second story, the female lead has a good friend, a rich girl named Yao, and a boy who secretly loves her. She and Yao get along very well, but they both like the same person. After the female lead finds out, she feels unworthy (because of her childhood experiences and the fact that she has cancer now). After Yao sees that page of the diary, she can stay away from the male lead. In the end, the female lead's mother passes away, and she wants to confide in Yao, but she sees Yao and the male lead kissing at dusk and breaks down. She writes her last diary entry (which is a blessing for them) on the rooftop and then jumps off [crying][crying]. The epilogue is that Yao marries the male lead, but he doesn't remember the female lead at all.

    This is the first time I've read a novel with this kind of immoral content, but the sense of immorality is incredibly satisfying. It's a mix of perversion and yandere, restraint and control, a love that transcends ethics—the impact is amazing.
