   I absolutely love angst-filled novels, and I highly recommend these! They're incredibly good, all short stories. I really strongly suggest these books; they're all on my bookshelf, and I haven't deleted them even after finishing them. They were so heartbreaking to read, especially the first, third, and fourth books. You can save the second one for last. Seriously, I highly recommend them.

    The first four are all unrequited love stories with tragic endings. The first and second books are by the same author, Meng Zhiwan. Just hearing her name should tell you the authority of these two books. In the third book, the male lead doesn't even remember the female lead. The fourth book is a more controversial one, but after reading it, you'll understand that the male and female leads can actually be together. The fourth and fifth books are by the same author. In the fourth book, the male lead dies, and in the fifth book, the female lead dies. Both of these novels have a happy ending at the beginning, but each one delivers a heavy blow at the end. My favorites are the first and fifth books. Go for it!
