    The first book is the only one where I dislike Hei Xiazi and Zhang Qiling. Little Sun is the reincarnation of their beloved, and they've been searching for a way to awaken his memories. In the end, Little Sun dies before their eyes. Xie Yuchen is the one most hurt in the whole story, seeing the child he's raised die before his eyes. The second book has a low rating mainly because not many people have read it, and it's been a while, so I don't remember it very well. The female lead experiments on Xie Yuchen's sister, and he dies in the end; everyone forgets her. The third and fourth books are a set; read the fourth one first, then the third. Little Moon is just an ordinary person who gets caught up in the ultimate battle between the two gods, Ultimate and Yinlian. This one is very sweet, but it doesn't change the inevitable death. In the very end, everyone forgets him, but everyone knows they've forgotten someone. A toast to you and me, a toast to the moon. The fifth book… begins with "My name is Wu Xing, Wu Xing of 'mouth and sky,' Xing of 'lucky'," and ends with "My name is Wu Xing, Wu Xing of 'mouth and sky,' Xing of 'unlucky'."

    The first book is "Little Sun," which is indeed sweet, but a bit regrettable. It's regrettable that Little Sun wasn't as important to Xiao Ge and Xiao Xiazi as Xie Chen, regrettable that Xiao Hua couldn't change Little Sun's fate despite her best efforts, regrettable that Wu Xie always thought of Little Sun, and regrettable that the best character in the whole book was Fat Mom. ② The protagonist is Hei Ye's younger brother. He must have been incredibly desperate when he was dissected by the Zhu family, and even more desperate when his own brother forced him to drink poison! The relationship between the protagonist and the system is also very touching. ③ The third book is "Qingyuan." Qingyuan is an immortal, living longer than Hei Xiazi and Xiao Ge, so for him, immortality is a curse. In the end, he watches his friends die one by one, leaving him alone. In the end, Qingyuan also goes underground to find his friends. The fourth and fifth books are by the same author and are also among the three most classic and tragic tomb raiding novels. I highly recommend them to anyone who hasn't read them. Little Moon, why do you love sweets? Oh, so that was for pain relief... You were afraid of pain, yet you died twice, once at Zhang Family Ancient Building and once at Qing Tong Gate, and were eventually forgotten, with only the words "Respect for you, respect for me, respect for the moon" remaining to prove your existence.

    The first book features Li Cu as the main character. Don't let its low rating fool you; it's incredibly heart-wrenching. The author's writing is exceptional, focusing entirely on love, hate, and revenge. The story revolves around Li Cu's death and rebirth in the Sand Sea realm, followed by Wu Xie's own rebirth. Li Cu uses his two lifetimes to confuse Wu Xie. After dying in his second life, Li Cu returns to the first tomb Xiao Tianzhen entered, where he stabs himself in the heart and dies, only to be reborn. The second character is Hei Xiazi's younger brother, whose story is extremely physically demanding, leaving him covered in scars. The third is "My Little Sun," which, despite its initially heartwarming and nurturing beginnings, becomes incredibly agonizing later on. I highly recommend the first book, featuring Li Cu; it's truly excellent.

    🍃🍃🍃This is a female-oriented fanfiction of the Tomb Raider series, for those who aren't afraid of heartbreak!✨ Want to cry? Then read this! (It's not just Wu Xie and the other characters from Tomb Raider that are heartbroken, but also us watching from behind the screen.) It's full of angst, very heartbreaking, and intensely painful. I cried buckets of tears with these books; one tissue wasn't enough to wipe them all. It's not that I'm easily moved to tears, it's just that it's genuinely so sad. 🉑Read and follow!

    The protagonist of the first book dies at the end. The protagonist of the second book always imagines the worst. I forgot about the third book. The fourth and fifth are the same story, so read the fourth one first. The protagonist of the sixth book is hurt by the original main characters in the early part of the story. The last book is unsatisfying.
