   Reader note

   Despite the low rating, almost all the reviews are positive, with only a few mentioning its brevity and lack of detail, perhaps due to its short length. This book is truly touching; I cried so much! The ending was a wonderful surprise! The ending revealed that Changsheng's feelings for the dragon were foreshadowed. Changsheng is such a good boy! I think he'll have a happy ending! Some might think the ending could have been extended further. I usually enjoy reading short stories, and many end with the protagonists together or an open ending. Perhaps because it's short, there wasn't a sweet, everyday happy ending, probably due to word count limitations. I still really like this ending; "You are the lotus I nurture in my heart" is so sweet! The relationship between Changsheng and his brother is truly moving. In many stories with tragic endings, the villainous male supporting character drives the plot, but this one is quite unique. Changsheng and his brother both want to protect each other, which leads to the protagonist mistaking his beloved for his true love, creating a heart-wrenching moment.

    Family, who can understand how I felt after finishing "The Untold Story"? 😭 This isn't just a simple novel; it's like a gentle knife, slowly cutting into my heart. Following the protagonists, I felt as if I had entered their world, experiencing the subtle yet profound love between them. That love was hidden in every glance, in every unspoken words. Their story lacked grand vows, yet possessed a power that struck straight to the heart. The regrets in the story are like a thorn, stuck in my heart, impossible to remove. Yet, I couldn't help but relive it again and again, savoring their meeting, their growing understanding, and that heartbreaking ending. If you, like me, enjoy this kind of delicate yet poignant emotional story, then you absolutely must read "The Untold Story." Trust me, it will immerse you and leave you deeply moved. 🥺

She had finally waited for these words. With a smile, she closed her eyes and left forever the man who had only her in his heart and eyes. Her hand slid down Xiao Ziheng's face.

After saying these words, he also closed his eyes forever, fulfilling his promise to follow her in life and death.
