    The first book made me want to cry. As expected, good people don't always get their just desserts. I cried so much over Liang Anping. I wish Anping peace and safety in his next life 😭 (I haven't read many, so the rating is a bit low). The second book has two female leads. I haven't finished it yet, but you can check out the third one, "His Place." I cried so much in bed after reading it. He was such a good person. The fourth and fifth books are quite sweet later on, but the beginnings are really heartbreaking TT

    Reader note

    The first is a historical romance novel, from childhood sweethearts to a palace intrigue story. There aren't any particularly vicious female supporting characters, but the plot is full of twists and turns, leaving readers heartbroken – a truly tear-jerking tragic ending. The second is sweet at first, then tragic; the male and female leads have mutual unrequited love but neither has the courage to confess. In the end, the male lead gets married, the female lead dies, and the second male lead remains unmarried for life. The third is a mutual love story, also sweet at first, then tragic, ending in a tragic ending where the male lead dies unexpectedly and the female lead commits suicide. The fourth is a campus romance novel with a tragic ending. The male and female leads are childhood sweethearts, but the female lead has a one-sided love for the male lead, while he likes someone else. Heartbroken, she ends up with someone else. Later, at a graduation party, they reunite and arrange to meet. The male lead finally understands his own feelings and confesses his love, but the female lead has already moved on and has a current boyfriend. In the end, the male lead repents, and the female lead goes abroad to study. The fifth is about a female lead from a poor family who is bullied at school, and a male lead who is a high achiever; she has secretly loved him for five years. Later, the female lead met a wealthy and kind best friend, the second female lead, who fell in love with the male lead at first sight. The two got together without the female lead knowing. One day, the female lead ran out of her house in tears and happened to catch the male lead and her best friend kissing. The female lead broke down and jumped to her death. The male lead, even after her death, didn't know that the female lead had secretly loved him for five years. In the end, the male lead married the second female lead. These books were all carefully selected by me; they each have their own similar yet different life stories, and all have tragic endings.
