   These are all very heart-wrenching. However, I highly recommend the first one; it's incredibly relatable, exactly like what parents experience today. The female lead was called "A-Wen" her whole life, but... Her real name is Tao Tao/A-Juan. It's truly heart-wrenching, even though it doesn't have a rating. The others are also quite heart-wrenching.

   ❤️❤️Highly Recommended!!! First Book Synopsis: The male lead was born without the ability to feel pain.

He plays roles that are all beautiful, strong, and tragic, each one capable of making you cry your heart out. Recommendation Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Second Book Synopsis: The female lead plays villainous supporting characters whose mission is to redeem themselves. After redeeming herself, she always fakes her death, thus becoming universally hated in life and universally loved in death. Recommendation Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Third Book Synopsis: The female lead is not a good person. She rises from a lowly palace maid to become a senior palace maid in the Empress Dowager's palace, diligently helping the Empress Dowager commit evil deeds, including murder and arson. She originally planned to leave the palace when the time came, but the male lead suddenly gains the ability to read her mind. She wants her freedom, but the male lead refuses to let her go.

   1. No male lead. The female lead lost both parents at a young age. More accurately, they were murdered. Later, she desperately wants to die. 2. Story synopsis: The protagonist transmigrates into a book and becomes someone universally disliked, a socially anxious person. Sometimes she self-harms. The fourth book also features this. The protagonist self-harms. The male lead is heartbroken knowing this. It gets sweet later. 5. This is the most angsty of all. Not many spoilers.
