    Each of these is a delicately crafted tragic ending novel worth reading twice… Hearing music with a strong tragic feel will bring back vivid images from the novels. First book: A tragic ending where unrequited love ends without fruition; the male lead never even knows her name. Second book: The female lead has psychological issues (the person she loves dies), and later, she can't hold on any longer. Third book: In the year they loved each other most, he died in front of her. Fourth book: A female lead with stomach cancer and a male lead from a dark and unhappy family heal each other, but ultimately, she dies in the year he loved her most. Fifth book: I read this a long time ago, so I don't remember the plot very well, but it was very heartbreaking; I remember crying through two packs of tissues. Sixth book: The male lead is a policeman who dies in an accident. The female lead never remarries. Seventh book: An older tragic novel, but there's no reconciliation; both the male and female leads remarry. Eighth book: I also read this a long time ago, but it's unforgettable; it's incredibly heartbreaking, tearing my heart out. Why do lovers always have to be separated? Goodbye, Hansheng.

    The first book is undoubtedly my top pick. I cried buckets, read it four times, and each time I finish it I feel heartbroken for days. The aftereffects are incredibly strong.

But with this book, I almost cried myself to death. The first two are like sister stories, highly recommended. The rest are all quite heart-wrenching, trust me, you won't regret it.
