   This book... This book is perfect! [Thumbs up] You don't even need to pick and choose chapters; every chapter has descriptions of injury and pain. The author's writing is excellent, and the plot is very detailed. (Friendly reminder: those with strong imaginations but weak mental fortitude should proceed with caution!) This story mainly focuses on the male lead's suffering, physically but not emotionally. The male lead is incredibly resilient and hard to kill; he gets injured every chapter, coughs up blood every three chapters, but he's not disabled and has the ability to take care of himself. The female lead is also strong, and the two strong characters team up for a happy ending. [Thumbs up] Don't look at the rating; it's definitely underestimated! This story is complete, so fellow enthusiasts can confidently buy it—it's absolutely worth it!! [Thumbs up][Thumbs up]

   Well, it doesn't quite fit the topic. The kind of story you're looking for—one where the protagonist is purely injured and not sick—is hard to find (I also love this type, but it's really hard to find). You can check out these few books I have here; take a look at the summaries and pick one out. These are all books I've read and found decent. Most have two male leads, and there might be one or two without a romantic pairing. They all have the "sickly, battle-damaged, beautiful, strong, and tragic" vibe.

    Reader note

    This book is truly well-written, the plot is incredibly moving, and every character is memorable. The most poignant character is Chen Shu. The protagonist thought he would sacrifice himself, but unexpectedly, someone cared about him and saved him. During the rescue, he suffered many injuries and nearly died, ultimately sacrificing himself. The protagonist initially dies from being burned alive, and in the end, he also dies from being burned alive, leaving his eagle filled with regret. The original protagonist, after transmigrating into this body, almost died from taking sleeping pills. It was during this process that the original protagonist, having been transported to this body, cut his wrists (to stay conscious) to go to the store to buy medicine, barely surviving. There are many things in the story that left me deeply moved; I highly recommend you read it. It truly resonates with me.

    The protagonist has a tragic past, having been brainwashed and abused since childhood. He possesses immense strength but is kind-hearted despite his sharp tongue. He has suicidal tendencies and some pain paralysis. His unique ability is wound transfer. His personality is cold, sarcastic, and arrogant. Initially, his aloofness stems from the belief that everyone dislikes him, but he actually blushes and feels shy when he realizes others genuinely care for and like him. To protect players chosen for dungeons, he constantly transfers their wounds to himself, always taking the lead in danger and shielding everyone else. Others are initially angry at his selfless actions but gradually grow and reciprocate by protecting him. It's a purely platonic friendship with no romantic subplot. The story is not yet finished, and it's unclear whether the protagonist will die, but I think he will, or perhaps he will be resurrected—a "weirdo, good person, pitiful person." "Ah Cen, I promise you are an angel, it's just that this world is too cruel." I've never liked your name; the "hate" in "hate" doesn't suit my best Ah Cen.
