    This little one is back with another book recommendation! [Sending heart] 🍃 1. I read this short, angsty novel with two male leads, and it's quite good. The plot isn't just angsty for the sake of angst; every angst point the author writes is logical and holds up to scrutiny. The protagonist suffers in the early chapters, and the antagonist suffers later, but the ending is very sweet. The foreshadowing left in the beginning is explained later. The antagonist kissed another woman to spite the protagonist, but other than that, he didn't cross any lines (I personally find this acceptable). In the parallel world of the side story, Sheng Man, with his memories intact, transmigrates into his past self's body. He tells his past self that Duo An will be his wife in the future, how to love someone, how to take good care of Duo An, and who is the enemy, who is the friend, and who is the fox wearing a fake smile. I believe that in that world, Sheng Man and Duo An will have no misunderstandings, no arguments, and no breakups. They will be together sweetly after confessing their love, growing old together hand in hand. 💞 🍃 2. The side couple in the story is also very good! A tough, thuggish older brother, Duo Guo, versus a bodyguard, a little wolf dog! Younger man/older woman romances, and they're both expressionless, hahaha [laughing and crying emoji]. You are my unknowingly passionate dopamine [heart emoji]. I personally think this sentence applies to every couple in the story. 🌹 The extra chapters have explained everything that needed to be explained, except for Li Yi, the culprit! I wonder what his fate will be [angry emoji]. Although I know he definitely won't have a good ending, I still feel uneasy if I don't write it down! A little regrettable, but everything else is great. Sheng Man and Duo An have a cross-border romance 💗 From their naive 18 or 19 years old to their prime 28 or 29, their love and hate spans ten years. Their story is neither short nor long, but it's worth collecting [laughs] 🍃3. [Friendly reminder: There are flashbacks in the text, so it's not recommended to skip chapters or you won't understand them~] Based on my years of reading experience, I guess this is a relatively new author [smirking][you'll see]. The writing is a bit immature, and some parts aren't handled very well (I won't list them all here), but overall it's still very good [learned]. I'm a straightforward person who recommends books based on my own experience [laughs]. Follow me to save you from your reading slump [please follow][please follow]

    I'm actually quite sensitive to angst; most of the time, reading just makes my heart ache. But this one is quite tear-jerking. The male lead is antisocial, and the other is strong and ruthless, both towards others and himself. The angst in this book stems from the inevitable tragedy caused by the disparity in their social status, personalities, and historical context. The other wants to be an honest and upright official, but the biggest obstacle isn't the officialdom, but the emperor. The author skillfully portrays their emotional transformations; they're all quite reasonable, without sudden love or inexplicable hatred. It also touches on the concept of retaliation. It's not very long, but after reading it, you'll definitely feel a mix of emotions, wondering if the other has truly forgiven her.
