    Reader note

    These two books absolutely deserve recognition!!! Both have tragic endings! They're both very short, the second one only has fourteen chapters! 1⃣ *Moonlight Doesn't Shine on Past Dreams*: Seriously, although the male lead constantly torments the female lead, the author doesn't portray him as inherently evil. Many small details demonstrate that he's a very well-mannered person. As for why he torments the female lead? I won't spoil it, but I can only say that I couldn't get over this book even a week after finishing it, to the point that I would cry whenever I thought about the ending, no matter where I was… I only managed to get over it after reading the author's happy ending [facepalm][facepalm]. 2⃣ *Fourteen Sentences*: Recommended by the author of the first book, it's also very heart-wrenching, and it's not a domineering CEO novel; this one is very realistic! It's very much like real life! So many missed opportunities… [crying][crying][crying] I finished it in one night during quarantine, thankfully I was in quarantine, otherwise my eyes would have been so swollen the next day [facepalm]. [This book has already been signed for publication and should be released this year~ looking forward to it!] Both authors have incredibly good writing skills!
