   They're all pretty good, but for the more dramatic ones, I'd recommend 2 and 4. But now I'm numb to it all because I cried my heart out when I read chapters 177 and 178 of the third book. It was because the young policeman died. He wanted to catch the Purifier, but before he died, he asked the Purifier to remove his mask. The Purifier removed it, and when he saw the Purifier's face, he truly allowed him to cleanse the world of sin. After his death, snow fell from the sky, and the Purifier's gloves, which never used to be stained with blood, became stained with the young policeman's blood. [Crying emojis] It's very good, but it's easy to get numb to it.

The title suggested sweet and interactive gameplay, but once you enter the game, you're trapped in a desolate city. One second you're in a flirtatious, ambiguous relationship, the next war erupts, and everyone takes up arms to defend the city. Romantic love is utterly fragile in the face of life and death; there are so many regrets and separations. It gets increasingly tear-jerking as you go on, and I completely broke down in the second half. It has a powerful aftertaste, so if you're easily moved to tears, be sure to have tissues ready!

    This is a heart-wrenching tale of a seemingly innocent girl who turns out to be a cunning villain. She kisses someone else right in front of him, making him jealous without any real connection. Dumped by her childhood sweetheart, she returns from studying abroad to seek revenge. The innocent girl transforms into a wicked woman, a womanizer who indulges in all sorts of vices—smoking, drinking, and more. Every substitute she finds resembles him. She dreams that he asks her if she loves him, only to wake up to find him lying next to her. Hitting him becomes a reward. Her best friend asks if she remembers him. She says she doesn't, but her friend says she hasn't revealed who that person was. Yes, when you love someone, even the shadows of their substitutes surround you. Even during her time studying abroad, she still thinks of him. How can one forget the one they love most? How long does it take for a devoted person to become a heartless woman? Just the moment he dumps her. She changes, but her transformation is only superficial. He still takes her virginity. She says she wants to kiss a male model. So he can be jealous too. Where was he before? Did he love her? She doesn't know. If he loved her, why did he dump her so cruelly back then? The seven-year itch is something no one can escape, right? His childhood sweetheart became a CEO, and he begged her to have their child to tie her down. Could a person be so cruel? He didn't want to use a child to bind her; he tried to keep her by his side forever, unaware that she had changed. She had nightmares about him abandoning her, yet he held her and said he wouldn't leave. Upon waking, her instinctive reaction was to slap him. Was it that being too greedy meant she could never have the one she loved most? Little did she know, she called him crazy, but he said he wouldn't be crazy if it weren't for her. He grabbed her neck, asking if she had been with someone else abroad. She felt his jealousy, which gave her a sense of triumph. He smashed the phone her mother had bought as a keepsake. Having missed her mother's funeral, she began to hate him. She replaced his male assistant and secretary with his stand-ins, provoked him by having unofficial relationships with them, and even kissed them in front of him. He was furious and extremely jealous. Their relationship was never officially announced, yet she was consumed by jealousy over their lack of recognition. Watching him be jealous, she felt a strange sense of vengeful pleasure, but she used foreign etiquette to provoke him. He had nowhere to vent his anger. He said he wanted to kiss like that abroad too, but she said enemies don't need to kiss. He was enraged... His face turned green as he forbade office romances, implying that only he and she were permitted to have one—a double standard. She skipped work to meet her younger self at a party hosted by the school's most popular male model, but secretly hoped he'd catch her. She kept wondering why he hadn't arrived yet. Finally, he came, but as she tried to open the door, she regretted that he had prevented her from seeing her mother one last time. Some hatred, in the face of love, only brings pain and distortion. Torn between two people she loved most—her beloved mother and the man she loved most—she agonized over the regret of not seeing her mother one last time; the dead cannot be brought back to life. He was alive, so she had no regrets. But her mother couldn't live, and she couldn't forgive him. Even when the male assistant wanted him dead, she hesitated and agreed. He said she was heartless, unaware that he was even more heartless when he dumped her. She was merely repeating the actions she had taken when dumping him. The male assistant also smashed the wine glass her mother had left behind, yet she didn't see him as an enemy, only heartache and hatred. This made her resolve to join forces with the male assistant to kill him, but love made her hesitate about telling him the truth about his impending death. She bitterly thought, wasn't this the best opportunity for revenge? Yet, she felt he didn't deserve to die. People are always caught in a dilemma when making choices; the contradiction seemed to make either choice unhappy. But she didn't understand what the male assistant meant by what he said. Wasn't he clearly dumped her because he didn't love her? Why were his words so light and so heavy?

    1. Funny + No angst (tag). Yi Shao really did a great job shaping the protagonist's personality. The characters in the story are also flesh and blood. "Zheng Xun, I tried my best to do everything you arranged for me. Did I just push you to your death?" He said, "If only we could have lived in Happiness Community forever. If only we hadn't had those coincidences, those painful and sad pasts, and grown up carefree." Zheng Xun said yes, but I still don't regret getting to where I am today. Among thousands of misfortunes, the only bit of luck is that I met the person I wanted to meet. It would be best to post this in a group [almost crying] 2. Lighthearted and funny, no angst (tag) Immortality novel. Yi Shao really wrote the feeling that immortality is a curse. I didn't read much because I was too scared to continue reading because of the angst [crying] 12. Author Yi Shao, you are really awesome. If you don't know how to use tags, don't use them [laughing] 3. Little Crow... Why did you have to let an 18-year-old save the world? The character setting is very good. I hope the ending is a happy ending [frustrated] [Go home, my parents are still waiting for me at home. I'm not a homeless person.] He smiled brightly, like a ghost, a free and elusive ghost that no one could grasp. 4. *The Bitter Gourd's Adventure*, with many foreshadowing elements, very delicate writing, the later parts leave the reader feeling chilled [petrified]. Snowflakes fell into his eyes, melting into water. Ye Xingzhou closed his eyes. The drop of water rolled down his eyelid, across his skin, into the snow, wetting it, and freezing into ice. Ren Wangzhu committed suicide. 5. Quick transmigration, but the protagonists all have short lives in the small worlds, the small world endings are either bad or happy, the character settings are all very touching [almost crying]. I especially like the world of the little money-grubber. Why is it two years? Why is it Lan Sheng? You clearly promised to stay with me, Lan Sheng, you broke your promise…

    This is a genuinely heart-wrenching story, without any forced or melodramatic plot twists. Set in a small town, the story revolves around a childhood crush that blossoms in school, hidden deep within a heart hampered by low self-esteem. The protagonist is too afraid to pursue the person they like, and also misses the opportunity for further education. Later, as they enter society, the youthful feelings fade, and their future is fraught with setbacks. Both love and career prospects are dashed, leaving behind a reality filled with the regrets that ordinary people often struggle to escape.
