She loved him too much, but he didn't believe her and killed her entire family. She couldn't say she no longer loved him, only that she would never see him again in this life. 2: He was a policeman, while she was a princess well-protected by her father. He went undercover for three years and fell in love with her, but they couldn't be together. Her father only wanted his daughter to be happy, so he tricked her into getting a marriage certificate to arrest him. Later, her father was sentenced to death, and she didn't even see him one last time. She decided to stop loving him and forget everything about him! 3: She loved him deeply, but he wouldn't admit he loved her and couldn't live without her. He asked for a divorce, and she knelt in the rain for three days before finally agreeing. She went to the countryside and discovered she was pregnant, but she still wanted to keep the baby. Later, she got cancer and told the baby everything about the father, hoping that someone would care for her even after she was gone. But he blamed her for abandoning the baby. Later, when he learned she was gone, he realized he truly couldn't live without her. He raised the child and then went to find her.

    The first book features a tragic ending for the male protagonist. Shi Fan suffers from severe depression, and Jiang Chenrui is a ray of light in his life. They were childhood neighbors and later met again at school. Shi Fan thought he was walking towards the light, but instead, he was walking into a deeper abyss. They loved each other deeply, but couldn't overcome their parents' opposition, and ultimately died. The second book is written from the male protagonist's perspective, depicting his dark life in a rehabilitation center. It records the process of a boy slowly withering away from his bright and cheerful self. In the center, he also encounters some kind-hearted people, many of whom die because of him. He eventually dies in the rehabilitation center himself. It's incredibly heartbreaking!
