    It's so angsty, it's physically and emotionally devastating. The story begins with the protagonist being framed by the other's "white moonlight" (a term of endearment for a male lead), serving five years in prison. In prison, he endures various forms of mental and physical torture, resulting in disfigurement, deafness, and countless injuries that erode his will. After his release, he's captured by the other and can't escape. For disobedience, he's forced to kneel on broken glass and have his bone marrow donated to his business partner without anesthesia. Later, the protagonist escapes again but encounters a crazy second male lead, who captures him and forces him to hide under the bed and release snakes at the other's bed as a threat. The other is cold-blooded and cruel, forbidding the protagonist from having any contact with others and secretly scheming against everyone around him… There's an amnesia trope, a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" scenario… In short, it's incredibly melodramatic and angsty…

    *Creak—* The moment the door opened, my heart skipped a beat. Slowly turning my head, the person I least wanted to see came into view. It was Xiao Liu, our junior sister. But for some reason, I always felt a strange fear of her. At that moment, I finally understood everything. When did Master and my senior brothers' attitudes towards me gradually change? That's right, it was when Xiao Liu was accepted as an inner disciple by Master Su Chen. Ever since she entered the sect, their attitude towards me had deteriorated day by day. Xiao Liu looked down at me, a smug smile on her face. "Luo Li, you've finally met your match." After saying that, she glanced at my bed with disgust and slowly sat down. I raised my head, looked at her coldly, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Why?" "Heh." She smiled coldly, the smile not reaching her eyes, her fair face full of hatred. She crossed her arms, looking down at me condescendingly, and said, "Why? You have the nerve to ask me why? Luo Li, have you already forgotten me?" I stared at her face in astonishment; it was a completely unfamiliar face. I desperately searched my memory, but I couldn't recall who she was. I frowned, "Have we met before?" Xiao Liu squatted down, pinching my chin with one hand, her nails slowly digging into my flesh, drawing blood from my face. "Luo Li, you really don't remember? Then I'll mercifully tell you, I'm Yun Shu." Hearing the name "Yun Shu," my heart sank. This name seemed deeply imprinted in my mind, yet it also felt like it came from a very, very long time ago. I never imagined that Yun Shu would be standing right in front of me now. I opened my mouth and said coldly, "I don't owe you anything." "Heh, if you don't owe me anything, who does?" Yun Shu's face was almost distorted. "Back then, when Master descended to the mortal realm, he clearly took a liking to me. Why did he bring you to the Immortal Realm?" She slapped my face hard, almost roaring, "Why?" I stared at her blankly. "Master said you were wicked." "Slap!" A heavy slap landed on my face. Yun Shu stood up and kicked me in the chest again, then grabbed my long, filthy hair. "I'm wicked? Just because you said I was wicked, you stole my chance to enter the Immortal Sect? Luo Li, you deserve to die. Do you know how I've survived all these years?" She glared at me fiercely and continued, "You stole the opportunity that should have been mine. I'm much stronger than you, whether it's family background, connections, or talent. I'm stronger than you. But you stole my chance to enter the Immortal Sect. Luo Li, I hate you. I wish you were dead right now." After saying that, she slapped me again. I swayed and fell to the ground. Yun Shu stretched out her foot and ground it back and forth on my hand until blood seeped from the back of my hand. The excruciating pain in my fingers pierced my eardrums. I wanted to scream, but Yun Shu covered my mouth tightly. Suddenly, someone outside asked, "Who's inside?" "Ah!" Yun Shu suddenly crashed into my bed and then fell to the ground, her eyes filled with tears, looking pitiful. Senior Brother arrived and saw Yun Shu's pitiful state as soon as he entered. Before I could speak, Yun Shu said pitifully, "Fifth Senior Sister, you can take your anger out on me. I know it was my fault. I never blamed you for pushing me into the icy lake, really, never." Hearing this, Senior Brother became even angrier. He looked at me disdainfully, his disgust almost overflowing. He said coldly, "Luo Li, how could you be so cruel? Xiao Liu came to see you, and you still bullied her?" I looked at him in disbelief, but all I saw was a face full of extreme contempt. My heart trembled, and a sense of despair welled up within me. I slowly stood up and said indifferently, "Yes, I bullied her. How do you want me to make it up to you?" *Slap!* Another slap landed, this time from my senior brother, Chu Ziyu. He watched as a single slap sent me staggering, and suddenly lost interest. He bent down, picked up Yun Shu, who had fallen to the ground, and walked towards the door. At the door, he uttered a sentence as sharp as an ice pick: "You disgust me." These words were like a sharp blade, stabbing my already wounded heart again. I was incredulous. My senior brother, once as gentle as a spring breeze, now treated me like an enemy from countless lifetimes. Before, I loved to cling to him. He would tell me stories of the cultivation world under the starry sky, and he would praise me greatly when I achieved even a small success. In my eyes, he was half a master, and one of the few family members I had in this strange cultivation world. But what did he say? He said I disgusted him. These words hurt more than a slap to my face, making me gasp for breath. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my brain, and the protective mirror suspended in my sea of ​​consciousness cracked again. Looking at the unclosed courtyard gate, I knew my days were numbered. A sense of impending death washed over me; I seemed to see the relentless march of fate upon me. I had a Soul-Nourishing Jade in my heart to replace my heart; if I could refine it into a heart within forty-nine days, I would still have a chance to live. Although losing my heart would prevent me from cultivating again, at least I could live. But by a twist of fate, my master had implanted the protective mirror. With the mirror shattered, I faced not just death, but the complete annihilation of my soul. Now, the protective mirror in my sea of ​​consciousness was riddled with cracks. I knew that a few more cracks and I would vanish from this world forever. I was unwilling, and equally desperate. I didn't understand; I had given everything for them, why did this happen? Was it all because of Yun Shu? I can't understand it. Yun Shu has only been in the cultivation world for less than three months, while I've spent ten years with them. Ten years, and all I've received in return is hatred, contempt, and disdain. What did I do wrong? My tears have run dry; now I just want release. Perhaps being annihilated isn't so unbearable. After all, without love, living longer is pointless. I took out the dagger I treasured in my storage pouch, intending to end this absurd life. But just then, someone rushed in and grabbed my hand.

    Hey everyone, I'm here to recommend my books! "I Think Loving You Requires Immense Courage" - 20,000+ words! You can finish it in just over ten minutes! A short, first-person story with two female leads, about mutual redemption, their life on campus, and super sweet interactions! The plot is slightly angsty, but thankfully the ending is good—the two really get together! They live a sweet life together in the end! If there's a lot of readership, I'll write a side story! "His Husband's Diary" - 30,000+ words! You can finish this short, angsty story with two male leads in under half an hour. The plot is very tragic, and the ending is a bad one. It mainly describes the environment and experiences of the protagonist, Mo Jia, who dies in his lover's arms. They are separated by death. I also have a brotherly romance novel, "Son, Open the Door, I'm Your Father," which will be released after I finish it! It's also a bad one, but with more interaction between the couple and is slightly longer! Also, if you like male-oriented pure love stories, you can check out my fantasy novel on my homepage, "Son, Open the Door, I'm Your Father"—a romance between an older woman and a younger man, both are virgins! The female lead is protective of her husband! Please keep an eye out, my darlings! I'll be releasing more new works and books on more different themes!
