   This book is super good-looking and super sad. The author's writing is very good and relatively short, especially the sentence at the end, Mr. Ye, I love you. Character characteristics: The heroine is gentle to the core, and she likes the hero very much. She was hurt in the end. When she went abroad, the hero chased her and never forgot to call the little girl to comfort her.

   It's very good-looking, and the heroine has intelligence and strategy. The plot is probably about the heroine avenging her Bai Yueguang. She worked step by step and finally killed her enemy with her own hands. I think the heroine has some feelings for the hero. Because the male protagonist is very good to the female protagonist. But after this little relationship went through a series of things, I guess I became disillusioned.

   I won't introduce the first two books. In the third one, the female protagonist and the male protagonist depended on each other when they were young. Later, the female protagonist went to the entertainment industry (I read it a long time ago and forgot the plot). The fourth one is a very good fast-travel novel. My top 1 is very sad.

    Amway is a top-notch sadistic novel that is full of atmosphere! It does not rely on sudden death to shock you, but uses the rules of the entire world to extinguish all your hopes bit by bit. Everyone in the protagonist group is struggling, but the end of the struggle may be a deeper abyss. Being 'suspicious and sinister' is not a cool thing here, it is a necessity for survival and an accelerator of tragedy. Beneath the shell of adventure is a bone-chilling chill. I was really surprised that a new author could write this feeling of powerlessness and fate so thoroughly. It's niche, slow-paced, but once you get in, you can't get out. It's suitable for readers who like to be shocked by the "depressive aesthetics".
