    I recommended four books, all relatively short stories, and they are all incredibly good. I highly recommend them. I especially recommend the fourth book. The author said it's based on this story. The male and female leads... Well, it's really heartbreaking, but I feel so sorry for people like the male lead. I hope it can offer them more care. If the first book is about the colors of youth, then the male and female leads truly captured my entire youth. It's a pleasure to know them, Ayan, it's a pleasure to know you. Your love story is truly wonderful. The female lead went through so much, from being insecure to becoming brave. It seems they didn't end up together because the male lead's mother disapproved. In the second book, the male and female leads went through seven lifetimes, reincarnated as humans and animals. The first two times they even caused chaos in the Underworld, fighting fiercely there before finally achieving their happy ending. It's incredibly good. They're a classic bickering couple, constantly chasing and fighting. Their tribulations were really heartbreaking. The funniest part was probably the fart incident. The most tearful part was because their love was truly, truly moving. The third book is about two people tormenting each other. They clearly love each other, but ultimately don't end up together. The female lead lives with someone else who loves her, and after decades, both of them reach their twilight years, only to realize they still deeply love each other but cannot be together. The male lead also donates his corneas to the female lead, giving them his at the height of his fame, and for 40 years he saw nothing. The fourth book features a male and female lead who grew up together, but because the male lead falls ill, his parents seem to abandon him. He lives with his elderly grandfather in a small garden in the female lead's house. They are familiar neighbors, having known each other for many years. However, the female lead's mother doesn't like the male lead and doesn't want the female lead to be near him. In the end, they say they weren't meant to be together, and the male lead passes away.
