   Reader note

   I recommend this moderately sized, realistic school tragedy with a strong emotional impact. Set in a small county high school in the 1990s, it avoids dramatic misunderstandings and arguments. The boy's inherent inferiority complex and timidity cause him to repeatedly back down, quietly missing out on the girl he liked and jeopardizing his future. The regret doesn't erupt at the end, but rather slowly rises after you close the book. Looking back on your youth as an adult, that sense of powerlessness and remorse lingers long afterward.

   Super good-looking and great author, please take a look at mine. Tomato. Waves Trust Cloud's White. Delicate. No bad ending. 1. National righteousness × sweet and bitter campus romance, two strong redemptions. 30 Years old, both return to their 16-year-old high school. He is a border guard, protecting the country; she is a battlefield doctor, saving the people in a chaotic world. No naive and sweet characters, no love-struck, two strong people side by side, having the most heart-wrenching love in a dream. 3. Two lifetimes of rebirth + time difference + twist after twist, strong sense of destiny. Xun Lang is reborn two months earlier than Hai Yu, carrying all the regrets and memories of his previous life, waiting for her, guarding her, and protecting her. From three days of heart-fluttering in high school, breaking up and missing each other, to rebirth in a desperate situation twelve years later, and then rewriting fate in this life, two lifetimes of obsession, only for one person. 4. A mixture of bitterness and sweetness, the knife of the past life and the sugar of this life. In the past life: she chased him and he hid, twelve years of regret, full of lingering resentment. In this life: He's obsessive and mad, she's cold but soft-hearted. They clearly love each other but test each other, a bittersweet story that gets more addictive the more you follow. 4. Clear ensemble cast, clean and non-melodramatic romance: High school friends, past life ties, and subtle hints—all supporting characters serve the main plot. The romance is devoted, deeply affectionate, and avoids melodrama. 5. Extreme character tension: Mad and obsessive × Cold and devoted male lead Xun Lang: Realizing his past life too late, he's reborn early in this life, mad, obsessive, and possessive to the max—he's only crazy about Haiyu. Female lead Haiyu: Outwardly cold and rational, but inwardly devoted to the death; harsh on the outside, but forever unable to let go. One mad, one cold; one desperately clinging, one unwilling to let go—the tension is palpable.

    A campus romance novel with a tragic ending, highly recommended. A bittersweet coming-of-age story. The good news is I won the lottery, the bad news is the prize expired. A one-sided love story.
