   The story is agonizingly unrequited love. In the beginning, his aloofness is incredibly painful to watch. She doesn't know he's even better at hiding his feelings than she is. She believes her hidden love is more powerful than his. He's always stubborn, mocking her bittersweet feelings to everyone. For him, this unrequited love is a burden. She's afraid of losing friends, so she remains a childhood friend, too timid to confess. But when he asks her alone if she has a crush on him, she doesn't notice his sweaty palms. Unable to answer, she can only ask him if he does. Her hands tremble, but she tries to remain calm, placing them behind her back. His ears turn bright red as he tries to pull something out of his pocket, but she's afraid of revealing her feelings and runs away. He's disappointed and transferring schools. Hearing this makes her even more heartbroken. She bitterly believes she'll never see him again. Then, after getting into university, she hears that familiar voice being confessed to by the school beauty. It's him, but he hugs her and says she's his girlfriend, only telling her that he rejected the school beauty. She thought it was a pleasant surprise, but hearing such words angered her so much that she publicly denied being his girlfriend. Everyone said she was ordinary and yet dared to reject such a handsome school heartthrob. In her anger, she accidentally dropped the yellowed pearl hairpin that her mother had given her as a keepsake. She cried and looked back for it. They argued, and he returned the hairpin to her, but the school beauty trampled on it and threw five yuan at her to humiliate her. She began to hate the school beauty and threatened him to pretend to be her boyfriend, wanting to make the school beauty jealous. The school beauty gave her money to leave him, and she agreed. She then lost her memory, and the school beauty took the opportunity to say that she was his girlfriend. Her mother found her and gave her five million to leave him. She also agreed to go abroad to study as soon as possible. When she returned to China, she didn't know that he had become her CEO. She regained her memory, and he proposed to her.

    A story that feels like an old movie, yet is more painful than any film. Those who have seen *Back to the Yin-Yang Realm* know the premise—a young man's body holds a past life's love sealed within. But that movie is a light comedy with a happy ending. My story, however, lacks that "thankfully." Eighteen years ago, Shen Yuan died in that rain that never returned. His memories, his obsessions, his unspoken love, were all sealed into the mind of a young man—Chen Luo. The young man doesn't remember any of it, only feeling an emptiness in his heart, waiting for someone to fill it. Then he met Du Xiaoyu. Her smile was like the first ray of spring sunshine; Chen Luo's heart fluttered—real, burning, and uniquely his own. But just when he thought it was his own love—Shen Yuan's memories burst forth. The girl he fell in love with was the daughter of that man with the old obsession. It turns out the flutter was his own, but the longing was someone else's eighteen years of memories. A heart is split in two. One half is the joy of young Chen Luo, the other half the deep affection of the deceased Shen Yuan. He can't tell which one is the real him. And who did Du Xiaoyu truly fall in love with? If a love spanning eighteen years is transplanted into a stranger's body, you fall in love with him, but the surging obsession in your heart belongs to your mother's deceased loved one. There is no happy ending, no reconciliation. Only a conscious sinking into despair, and that final silent, departing figure. Some memories never fade. Some people love for someone else their entire lives. [Almost crying]

Enraged, she throws it back, only to have her part-time job boss withhold her wages. She overhears the school beauty throwing yogurt at her and then being asked to marry her. Furious, she randomly picks a taller, more handsome stranger—who turns out to be her brother—and begs him to be her boyfriend, throwing yogurt back at both of them. Nothing is more painful than hearing him with someone else. He mocks her as an ugly duckling, and she jumps into a river in anger.

    Losing his beloved from both past and present lives, he turned white-haired overnight. "In this life, I clearly met her first, we clearly fell in love first, how could I have lost her?" Bai Jingxuan hated himself, pounding his head in frustration. Thinking of the loving moments they shared in both lives, the longing and pain of those two lifetimes intertwined, converging into a river. He was heartbroken, his heart aching so much he could hardly breathe. Unable to suppress the overwhelming grief, he wept uncontrollably, his sobs echoing through the courtyard. The once dignified and refined young master Bai, unable to bear the blow of losing his beloved, turned white-haired overnight. He trudged through the snow-covered courtyard towards the gate, his robes fluttering, his silver hair flying, the snow swirling around him, he seemed to merge with the icy landscape, indistinguishable from it all. After leaving the mansion, he headed directly towards the Prince of An'nan's residence, An'nan silently following not far away.

    A heart-wrenching campus romance: Should you confess if you like someone? She thought about it for a long time and finally decided to confess. A love triangle between one girl and two boys begins to break down in their senior year of high school. She had a crush on him for a long time. A young girl's unrequited love is hard to fathom; she couldn't tell if he loved her or not. She mustered her courage to confess, but he treated it like a truth or dare game. In their senior year, they always thought about applying to the same university, hoping to protect him from being taken away by someone else. She asked her best friend if he had someone he liked, but his friend gave a bitter smile and said, "You'll know when we get to university." Some loves are about to be revealed. She sensed her best friend's... His gentleness and care for her, even the comfort she felt nestled in his best friend's arms, seemed to fuel his jealousy. He questioned his best friend about whether he liked her, which his friend denied. At the end of high school, when she was moving her books home, both he and his best friend helped. He offered to take their first post-graduation trip together, but because he didn't reciprocate her feelings, she angrily asked his best friend if he wanted to go on the trip too. He became even angrier seeing her and his best friend so close, and threw a book at her. She closed her eyes, opened them, and her best friend blocked it. She anxiously took his best friend with her. While seeing the school doctor, she began to question whether she truly loved someone else. She kissed him, but her heart didn't race; yet, kissing his best friend made her heart flutter. At that moment, she realized who she truly loved, but she couldn't accept the truth. She blocked him and his best friend, refusing to see either of them. But then his best friend contacted her, confessing his feelings. She was at a loss. She thought that going to university would mean she had nothing to do with them anymore, but she overheard their confessions. Everyone envied her. Her heart was in turmoil; the bittersweet feeling of unrequited love was replaced by the agonizing indecision. She chose to ignore it all, leaving behind the mother she hated most... Her relative called her, saying her grandmother was hospitalized and needed money. Before she could return home, she missed seeing her grandmother one last time. The White Rabbit milk candy her grandmother gave her was her favorite. Her beloved grandmother was gone. She hated her mother for making her a left-behind child. She was bullied alone in the countryside. He was the first to stand up for her when she was bullied, and the second was his good brother. Some heartbreaks cannot be healed by love. The pain of losing a loved one was unbearable. He and his good brother comforted her. Should she choose one of them and put an end to her unrequited love?

    The Queen of Tragic Novels' most celebrated masterpieces!! Each one is top-tier! Exceptionally good, intelligent and logical, so heart-wrenching you'll cry! The female leads are charming, clear-headed, and rational, ultimately achieving both fame and fortune, wielding immense power, but they're still quite angsty to read 😭 1: Domestic Strife + Palace Intrigue 🩷 A bit tear-jerking, reminiscent of the melancholy of a loveless ending 😭 My beloved female supporting character, she did nothing wrong, yet I feel so heartbroken 😭 The daughter of a jade merchant meets a fallen prince who has been living among commoners, but there's no spark of romance until they fight assassins in a dilapidated temple, at which point she falls in love with him. However, he falls in love with another extremely delicate woman, and by chance, he's placed on the throne by a powerful minister. 👑🍅 He doesn't love her, but respects her, needing her wisdom to help him navigate between the powerful minister and the imperial power. She also lives peacefully with his lover. She loved him, so she loved him in a way that the male lead liked. 😍🍅 In the end, it was that seemingly weak woman who protected the female lead with her own life until the very end. 😊 After reading it, one feels a sense of loss. It's a rare story where the male and female leads don't fall in love, but rather need to use each other. There's no competition between them, and the story has a strong aftertaste. 2: Palace Intrigue and Power ❤️ The seemingly ruthless female lead was born a slave, but she had the appearance of a phoenix. The head mistress not only didn't kill her, but also spent a lot of money to cultivate her and build her up, successfully sending her into the palace. The young emperor, the male lead, truly fell in love with her at first sight 💘 and immediately made her empress 👑 To protect the secret of her background and her power, she was constantly plotting to use external forces to overthrow her enemies. She almost wiped out the harem, but the emperor, who loved her to the bone, couldn't bring himself to punish her, and couldn't even ignore 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!

    The main story is finished. This is the first time I've seen a male protagonist with such a tragic yet endearingly humorous personality. A border guard hero versus Doctors Without Borders, both falling into a campus dream. A pure-hearted father figure x a crazy yet restrained individual. Waves trust the white of the clouds. The gate of the clouds trusts the white of the clouds.
