I cried so much! 😭 ② In the second book, the protagonist is a spoiled rich kid whose pride and arrogance make him look down on everyone. Yet, he playfully offers the protagonist a little warmth only to slap him in the face. So, the protagonist thinks he's the protagonist's friend, but the protagonist's simple "classmate" shatters that belief. The protagonist's mother has long since passed away, leaving behind his father and brother who oppress him daily. The protagonist is also pitiful, clinging to any glimmer of light he finds despite all the difficulties. ꒦ິ^꒦ິ ③ In the third book, the protagonist develops a sleep disorder due to the protagonist's actions and needs medication to fall asleep, otherwise, those painful memories resurface. The protagonist is also betrayed by a bandmate he considered a good member, who even wants him to go behind the scenes so he can keep all the credit and fame for himself. But because they had worked together before, the baby didn't openly confront the issue. However, when his friend was insulted, the baby spoke out without hesitation. ④ In the fourth book, the protagonist (shou) took his younger sister out to play when they were young, resulting in a car accident that killed her. Later, the family suffered many misfortunes, leaving only him and his mother, who suffered from mental illness. His mother couldn't accept the reality of his sister's death, so every time the protagonist visited her, he would dress up as his sister. Seeing his mother doing things that weren't his own must have hurt him, baby. But the baby loved his mother very much and sometimes blamed himself for not being able to impersonate his sister properly, leading to self-harm. ⑤ A rift developed between the protagonist and the other, even though they both loved each other, they ultimately couldn't be together. The ending is a bad one; the protagonist dies of a terminal illness and can't even have a crematorium.

    The author is a professional screenwriter, creating an incredibly immersive reading experience! I highly recommend this top-tier, emotionally charged angst novel! It doesn't rely on sudden death to shock you; instead, it uses the rules of the entire world to gradually extinguish all your hope. The reading experience is like watching a beautiful moth, knowing there's fire ahead, yet forced to fly towards it by instinct and commitment. Every member of the main group struggles, but the end of that struggle may lead to an even deeper abyss. 'Suspicion and cunning' aren't the source of enjoyment here; they're necessities for survival, and also accelerators of tragedy. Beneath the adventurous exterior lies a chilling cold. It truly amazed me that a new author could capture this sense of powerlessness and fatalism so profoundly. Niche, slow-paced, but once you're hooked, you won't be able to escape; perfect for readers who enjoy being awestruck by 'melancholic aesthetics'.

In the end, they all achieve fame and fortune, possessing immense power, but the process is particularly torturous. It should make you cry and lose weight, a painful yet comforting experience😌✌️❤️ 1: Domestic intrigue + palace intrigue🩷 A bit tear-jerking, similar to the melancholy of an unfulfilled love😭 My beloved, unforgettable female supporting character! The daughter of a jade merchant meets a down-on-his-luck prince who has fallen into poverty, but there is no spark of affection between them until they fight assassins in a dilapidated temple. She falls in love with him, but he falls in love with another extremely delicate woman. By chance, he is helped to the throne by a powerful minister. 👑🍅 He didn't love her, but respected her and needed her wisdom to help him navigate the power struggles between officials and the emperor. She, in turn, coexisted peacefully with his lover. She loved him, and therefore loved him in a way that pleased the male lead. 😍🍅 In the end, it was that seemingly fragile woman who ultimately protected the female lead with her own life. 😊 The story leaves one with a sense of melancholy; it's rare to find a male and female lead who don't fall in love, yet mutually utilize each other without competition. The impact is profound. 2: Palace Intrigue and Power ❤️ The seemingly innocent but actually cunning female lead is born a slave girl, yet possesses the face of a phoenix. The matriarch not only spares her life but also invests heavily in her upbringing and promotion, successfully sending her into the palace. The young emperor falls in love with her at first sight 💘 and immediately makes her empress 👑 To protect the secret of her origins and her power, she constantly plots to use external forces to overthrow her enemies, almost destroying the harem. However, the emperor loves her to the bone and cannot bring himself to punish her, not even by neglecting her. 😍 The most divine part is the final deathbed confession. The emperor already knew the female lead was originally a slave, and he also knew she was ruthless and a mass murderer. But he was only grateful that he was the emperor and could help her. However, he also longed to be protected by her without hesitation just once. 😭 Super tear-jerking. 3: A divine work with profound thoughts and a strong sense of national sentiment. It has great depth, very positive values, and is also a high-level female-oriented story. It really amazed me! ️ Two strong intellectual lovers. I couldn't forget it for a long time after finishing it. ✌️🏆 The male lead is a spirited young general. However, in the chaotic world, he had to hide his identity, but his passion remained unchanged. ❤️ In the end, the male lead regained his identity as a young marshal and rushed to the battlefield, but he never returned. The female lead's mother was a wealthy socialite, and she was the most rebellious heiress, always ready to fight anyone she saw. However, her mother was assassinated while protecting cultural relics and supplying the front lines. This experience shattered her worldview, causing her to mature overnight. While studying abroad, she investigated the truth behind her mother's death and met the patriotic young man who had been supported by her mother. Their meeting seemed destined, as if by blood, leading them to embark on a path of protecting their country. The romance is incredibly sweet!
