   This story is told from the male lead's perspective, focusing on unrequited love. It's realistic yet pure, showing his love for the female lead and his devotion to her.

    Here are a few must-reads by Meng Zhiwan, but most people have probably already seen them, right? Search for them on New Tomato. Here are a few less mainstream recommendations. Let me briefly introduce them: 1. Two female leads. I suggest ignoring the title and author's comments, as they contain spoilers and make the story less relatable. Both are reborn, and even if they may never see each other again in three lifetimes, they still hope for each other's peace, happiness, and carefree lives. (Not about unrequited love; I was just lazy and included this.) 2. Don't look at the ratings. The bellflower represents sincere and unchanging love; if the bellflower doesn't turn white, the love will end. He sang "Light," and she originally wanted to sing "Chasing the Light," but was forced to change it to "Against the Light," foreshadowing their ending. 3. I was born in darkness, and I was almost used to it, but you illuminated my world with light, making me no longer willing to live in darkness.

    "My life has been quite ordinary, my youth uneventful. Perhaps the only exception was falling for Wen Shilan, this incredibly dazzling person whom I was willing to pay any price to chase." "Liking" someone makes you a better person, so Chen Yu refused to be mediocre. She wanted to catch up with him, she wanted to get closer to him. This is a diary-style story of unrequited love. Chen Yu is like a background character in a campus romance novel who encounters the radiant male lead. She is moved by him, strives for him, and while constantly chasing the "sun," she also achieves self-realization. I believe that Chen Yu, through her continuous efforts, has gradually become the female lead, the leading lady of her own life chapter, the leading lady in this short story. Although it's a tragic ending, it's a happy ending for her own life.
