   Reader note

   The pinnacle of Republican-era tragic romance, *Butterfly Shadow Returns to Dust* | "Sir, you've mistaken me for someone else"—with one sentence, she severed his ten-year obsession. At fifteen, she was Lin Die'er, a daughter of a prestigious family. Forced to marry a dark-skinned man with a square face and thick eyebrows. On her wedding night, she tearfully vowed never to submit. Later, she became a young wife in the Zhang family. For four months, he slept in the study and on the floor, never crossing the line. Until that slap—he was the first to rush forward, shielding her behind him, his trembling hand gently stroking her swollen cheek, his eyes red as he asked, "Does it hurt?" At that moment, she suddenly couldn't tell if it was resentment, hatred, or love. She had just mustered the courage to tell him, "I'm pregnant with your child," but her mother-in-law, under the guise of profit, sold her to her husband's half-son. Later still, she became a prisoner in a deep mansion. Confined to a separate courtyard, she suffered torment day and night, giving birth to a son. The man didn't know—the child wasn't his. She gritted her teeth and survived, just so he would raise the child of his enemy for the rest of his life. Then came the courtesan. Then the Japanese spy, Chiba Kaoruko. Finally, the soul who took a bullet for someone else. Six identities, three names. Only the name "Lin Die'er" belonged to her until death. Ten years of turmoil, a chance encounter on a long street. His temples were streaked with gray, and he rushed forward like a madman, grabbing her wrist. She merely coldly pulled her hand away, saying in broken Japanese, "Sir, you've mistaken me for someone else." [Almost crying][Almost crying][Almost crying] Turning the corner, she leaned against the cold wall, covered her mouth, and wept silently. [Almost crying] He died without knowing that the child he held in the Xiao mansion, named Yi'an, was his and her only son. She died without knowing who she truly loved in her life. Human romance could not wait for a long-lasting union; the butterfly's shadow returned to dust, with no return to be awaited.

   Reader note

   The first book is a mindless hack-and-slash story. I just finished reading the first simulation. The protagonist starts out paralyzed in both legs and confined to a wheelchair. The world setting is a modern parallel world where most characters have cheat codes. He starts by obtaining a simulation system, transmigrates to a cultivation world, encounters a baby girl during a famine, raises her to her teens, and joins a cultivation sect. After the baby girl grows up... Well, I felt the power system collapsed later on. If I hadn't read the author, I almost thought it was written by a female author. The second book is about the protagonist cultivating a country into a cultivation nation, while simultaneously raising the emperor's cultivation level to the Nascent Soul stage. The emperor, who has just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, feels threatened by the protagonist's achievements and, along with the Child of the Interface and his female master, plans to kill him. The third and fourth books are probably self-explanatory. The third book is about death after companionship, creating a sense of contrast by having someone you've been with die. The fourth book's theme is about the protagonist being betrayed, deceived, misunderstood, and used. From "the world kisses me with pain, yet I respond with song," to suicide and, like a stragglers, attempting to erase the traces in the World Tree.

In his previous life, his life was stolen, and he was used as a substitute for someone else, ultimately committing suicide by cutting his wrists. He returns to his past, but still carries a host of psychological problems. He seems to be pretending to be a "green tea" (a manipulative woman), but it's just a cover for his true self. He suffers from bipolar disorder and self-harm.

    The first book is by Shaou, and everyone who's read it says it's great 👍🏻. It's a quick transmigration novel, a typical scumbag gong (male lead) story with a tragic ending, and a bad ending. If you're not into that, you can read the second book. Overall, I recommend it: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ @Shaou Swimming The second book is by Nezha, and the writing is super good 👌🏻. It's a mutual love story, and all ten worlds end in a bad ending. If you're really into it, you might even cry. Later on, they return to another world for a happy ending, and the final chapter is a happy ending. Personally, I recommend this one: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (personal opinion, please don't criticize). @Cheng Nezha To be honest, I haven't finished the third book yet. I'm only on the fourth world. But the angst in the first three worlds is quite intense, and it's also a scumbag gong chasing after his lover with a tragic ending. If you're not into that, I still recommend the second book. Overall Recommendation Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This fourth book is truly lukewarm at best, likely due to being shelved with many new releases. Its 8.4 Rating isn't high. I only barely finished the first world, which was quite angsty for me. I don't know what caused the lower ratings for the later worlds. If you trust me, you can check it out. I'll buy into the first world; if the later chapters suit your taste, then continue reading. Recommendation Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

    Wow, this is the book for me! You'll regret it if you don't read it. The female lead initially dislikes the protagonist, but through his repeated deaths, she comes to love. However, by this time, the protagonist is somewhat insane, possessing several "personalities" including a desperate girl, a yandere girl, and a deceitful girl. Anyway, the content is captivating, the writing is exquisite, and I highly recommend it.
