    All are short stories, incredibly heart-wrenching, they made me cry. In the first one, the female lead is abandoned by the male lead who is drawn to his unrequited love, choosing to kill her instead – it's extremely tragic. In the second one, the female lead is mute, leading to numerous misunderstandings, and the male lead refuses to listen to her explanations. In the end, heartbroken, she stabs herself in the heart and refuses to continue the relationship. In the third one, the female lead dies without forgiving the male lead, who dies of regret and guilt. In the fourth one, their seven years of love are overshadowed by the return of their unrequited love for three days – it's just too tragic.
