   If I had to pick my favorite of these, I'd say the second one. The first one's female lead suffers from severe depression due to family issues. After getting together with the male lead, she attempts suicide once, but he discovers her depression and steadfastly stays by her side. I don't remember the second one very well because I read it a long time ago. I really liked this one; it seems she developed depression after breaking up with the male lead. After they reunite, he initially believes she dumped him until he discovers her depression and stays by her side. Later, she attempts suicide again because of the male lead's mother, but he continues to heal and redeem her. The third one is also about... Due to family reasons, she developed severe depression. For the sake of the male lead, she had to break up with him. After their reunion, the male lead's cold attitude, coupled with her family issues, made her unable to bear it any longer. She ran away and contemplated suicide, but an accident led the male lead to find her suicide note. Together with the female lead's sister, they saved her. During this time, the female lead was almost cured, until her family contacted the male lead again. She couldn't bear it anymore and contemplated suicide countless times. The male lead said, "If you die, I'll die with you," saving her. In the end, they lived happily ever after. I think the second book is the best, and the third is the most heart-wrenching. The first book has a school setting, while the second and third are urban settings.
