   Reader note

   Actually, I haven't read many angst-filled novels that are extremely angsty or tear-jerking. So if I had to recommend one, it would be something sweet with a touch of angst—like someone who's laughing like a fool and then suddenly gets a really heartbreaking cut. And this book is really well-written; the angst doesn't feel forced, and it has a happy ending, so you won't feel left out or get distracted in class thinking about the tragic love story of the male and female leads (haha, I always do that).

    This book! Judging from the title, the female lead will definitely die in the end. It's really heartbreaking. The female lead is the kind of person who is clear-headed and not love-struck, focusing on her career. But the male lead is very love-struck. The female lead is like the male lead's mentor. Many sentences in the book are philosophical yet easy to understand. It's a novel with very positive values.

    A talented, aloof, and sharp-tongued screenwriter (bottom) and a dashing, cunning, and deep-seated director (top) are reborn together in the bottom's middle school years, becoming vengeful bullies. The beginning is angsty and satisfying, while the latter part is filled with helplessness and despair. Most importantly, the writing is superb, the characters are well-developed, and the plot is intricately connected, making it both exhilarating and heart-wrenching!
