He returns to his past, but still carries a host of psychological problems. He seems to be pretending to be a "green tea" girl, but it's just a cover for his true self.

   1. The first book has no romantic pairing. The protagonist is controlled and kills his own brother, becomes devastated, and keeps attempting suicide and self-harm. It's a pseudonym-based story. 2. The second book is lighthearted and funny at the beginning, but his psychological problems only start to appear later. OMG, you can tell there's a problem from the beginning. 3. The third book's protagonist doesn't care about his physical health and psychologically believes he doesn't need to live. His fighting style is purely self-destructive. Okay, his teammates are incredibly worried. And later on, all his teammates also develop mental problems. 4. Two male leads. The protagonist's past life was a bricklayer who was killed by a brick. Because of his childhood experiences, he is later... There was a feeling of unworthiness when in love, and he attempted suicide. The ending was quite perfect. 5. OK, the one I put at the end is the essence. The protagonist of this book can be resurrected infinitely. While attending school, he was suddenly transported to a courtyard. His teachers and classmates were killed by Bangbang (monsters in the courtyard). The protagonist was resurrected and escaped. Many people died later, but I didn't read much of it. The protagonist went crazy later. 6. OK, this one fits the description the best, and it's also the one I think is the best. The protagonist had a mental illness in his previous life and committed suicide, then transmigrated to the Anti-Japanese War era. Because of the physical body, he initially forgot his memories of his previous life, thinking he was a normal transmigrator, but he was actually reborn. That's right, he lost his memory twice. His body was very weak and he was very depressed later on. Moreover, after he regained his memories, he suffered from schizophrenia. The original words were, "Xie Shu raised his arm, his fist supporting his face: 'I can see my mother, and I can summon my father. You are not as happy as me, brother~'" My past life was incredibly tragic, and my present life is just as tragic. I've rewound and died countless times (probably as many times as a head of hair ˁ⁽͑ ˚̀˙̭˚́ ⁾̉ˀ ⁼³). Each time I died, a strand of hair turned white, and I've now achieved a white-haired look. The beginning wasn't very appealing (actually, I think it looks good all the time), but you'll definitely love the middle part. Having died so many times has made me a bit mentally unstable; I don't care about myself anymore. Even eating spicy hot pot makes me want to rewind!

    Highly recommended, both are very heart-wrenching. In the first book, Lu Qing loses Gu Zhiyan, the one who loves him most, so he risks his life to reunite with him. However, the Gu Zhiyan he meets again is no longer the poor boy from a year ago. When the truth is revealed, Gu Zhiyan kneels before every temple, devoutly offering an ever-burning lamp, not asking for a long life, but only for a life-and-death bond… In the second book, Xiao Yu is imprisoned in a rehabilitation center by his father on his birthday, losing Fu Zechen, the one who loves him most. When he escapes that hellish place, battered and bruised, Fu Zechen abandons him without hesitation. As the sharp blade cuts through flesh, blood gushes out, taking away all warmth from his body, in his hazy consciousness, he seems to see someone rushing towards him. Book 3: A diagnosis leads Shen Ning to cruelly abandon Qin Jiu, his only family. Upon meeting again, Shen Ning is stabbed, his life extinguished. Dragging his wounded body, he watches his beloved walk onto the championship stage… Book 4: Jiang Li is a madman, falling deeply in love and becoming obsessed in a sugar daddy/sugar baby game. He knows Yi Zhen doesn't love him, yet he still clings to her relentlessly despite his injuries. Ultimately, he doesn't receive salvation and walks into the sea in despair as the sun rises… Book 5: Lin Ran held his last live stream on the day he was diagnosed with cancer, but unexpectedly received a variety show invitation. On the show, he says: "Lin Ran, you're so shameless." Under the setting sun, a sports car crashes through a fence and plunges headlong into a cliff. He Ze unbuckles his seatbelt and gently pulls his darling into his arms. Book 6: Wen Mo was taken home by his parents at 19, and his mother gave him his first gift. He wore it with joy, but a year later, a diagnosis revealed it was his mother's death warrant! He went from being full of youthful vigor to being completely exhausted. That day, he willingly let go. ... Highly recommended!!!

He no longer falls into the traps Shi Xingxiao prepared for him, but instead pushes people step by step into the abyss he once inhabited. 💖 A person who has died once has greater courage. But watching Ci Shen give his heart to him time and time again... 🔪🔪 Shi Ling dares not continue. An encounter with the purpose of exploitation is not worthy of him continuing. He is a lonely soul, unworthy of love. Shi Ling wanted to say no. But someone grabbed his neck and pinned him to a corner: Come and go as you please? 🥰🥰②A doting, cunning, and doting husband (Qin Zhao) VS a gentle, insecure, sensible, and kind husband (Shen Heqing). 💖💖A sweet and doting story.

Let him have it." 🔪His biological parents say: "We're sorry, but An'an has been with us for eighteen years, we just can't bear to part with her." Even facing the person he loves most, everything forces him to give up. 💖💖Qin Zhao confesses his feelings but is rejected by Shen Heqing.
