   The first one is very short, you can finish it in under ten minutes, and it's really heartbreaking—it's the kind of memoir about a deceased wife. The second one starts off sweet but ends very sad; it took me a long time to recover after watching it. I didn't really like the male lead's actions with the third one, but I still found it very poignant. I'd recommend it anyway.

    The first story is incredibly tragic, basically from the very beginning. The male protagonist is sent to a rehabilitation center by his younger brother, whom he raised himself. Upon his release, he has an unconscious urge to kneel and apologize to his brother. While in the center, he is raped and humiliated, tormented daily by his brother's photos. He secretly writes in a diary, recording all the humiliations he suffers. Two months later, upon release, he is still verbally and physically abused by his brother. It's not just physical torture, but a devastating blow to his psyche. After his release, he goes to a hospital and interacts with the second male lead, only to be verbally abused by his brother. This leads to his first suicide attempt since his release (all attempts in the rehabilitation center have failed). Later, the rehabilitation center is reported, and those inside are released, some even dead, and some have been sexually assaulted. The protagonist witnesses this and dies in the second male lead's arms in the hospital. Ultimately, the rehabilitation center and his brother are imprisoned, but their death sentences are suspended (the second male lead sends people to torture his brother, who commits suicide less than two weeks later). Yu An, I beg you to live a good life in your next life, and never meet Huo Qingyan again 😢😢😢 The second story is about a girl's unrequited love. She wrote about her crush on a boy in her diary. Later, she met another girl and became good friends with her. However, the boy she had a crush on fell for that girl's friend. The girl saw this and ran to the rooftop. The friend chased after her. The girl wrote her last diary entry and then jumped off the building. Later, her friend read her diary and realized that she had a crush on the boy for many years, but the boy didn't even know her name. Finally, when the boy and his friend were sorting through the girl's belongings, they accidentally found the boy's jacket. There was a letter written in the pocket, but he only glanced at it and threw it in the trash. He only knew that her surname was Zhou. Would it do you any good to torture me to death?

    These books were so heartbreaking! The first one shattered my worldview! The second one: two people struggling for survival, trying to redeem each other, but ultimately couldn't hold on! The third one: the male protagonist killed his beloved in revenge. The fourth one: a plot twist; I felt my perspective was too narrow, unworthy of the male protagonist's love, and he died in agony. The fifth one: so unsettling; the loved one was always by his side, yet the one who survived suffered the most. It was indescribably heartbreaking; it was truly painful to finish them.
