   1. The day I discovered Su Ya's infidelity was our daughter's third birthday. She was wearing the custom-made dress I gave her, making a bento for another man in the kitchen, a faint hickey visible on her neck. The man who once said he would love me forever laughed on the phone, saying, "Baby, same place tonight, I'll feed you." I took off my wedding ring and threw it into the cake, my eyes as cold as ice in the dead of winter! #ShortStory #TomatoShortStory #BookShortageSquare #RealisticRelationships #Family #Divorce #ContemporaryRomance #HusbandChasingCrematorium #WifeChasingCrematorium #Infidelity #RevengeWhiteMoonlight #SatisfyingRead #Completed #[Kiss][Kiss][Thinking]

    The first book was truly heart-wrenching, the kind that makes you cry until you break down late at night. The problems between the male and female leads weren't their fault, yet they were impossible to ignore. The second book was a coming-of-age story that unfolded over time. Because it's been a long time since I read it, I've forgotten a lot, but the ending was still very sad and heartbreaking, and I shed tears myself. The third book I initially read was only because it was being adapted into a TV series. After finishing it, I was hooked on Chongqing Noodles. The later parts were also very heart-wrenching, but thankfully, it had a happy ending. The fourth book, which I just finished reading, had a decent plot, but the writing wasn't very good, a bit immature. The tragic ending for the male and female leads was quite sudden. At first, I didn't like the male lead; I shipped the female lead and his brother (the second male lead). But later, I was moved by the relationship between the male and female leads. However, the ending felt a bit like a tragic ending for the sake of a tragic ending. (Addendum: I didn't see this topic at first, so these recommended books all seem quite long. Just a heads up!
