    At this moment in Youzhou City, "Red makes one look healthier..." He murmured softly, his fingertips lingering on the light vermilion brocade robe. The color was warm and gentle, the palest of reds, understated and not glaring. He remembered Sui Sui always saying that he looked good in red, that it made his features appear gentle, and that she wanted to take him home as her husband. If he wore this, would she glance at him from afar? Would she recognize him instantly? The young man's pale lips pursed slightly, a faint expectation rising in his eyes. He moved his fingertips again, touching the pale blue brocade fabric beside him. The fabric was soft, the light blue clean and translucent. "Blue makes one look younger..." This one was more elegant, clean and crisp, like the way he first appeared when he was by her side—clean, pure, his heart and eyes filled with her. If he wore blue, would she feel more at ease? Would she not think he was sickly, weak, and burdensome? He was already physically weak and frail from a long illness. He didn't want her to see him in his haggard and listless state, not even a fleeting glimpse. He wanted to present his best and most spirited self to her. His fingertips slowly moved to the last piece of dark purple casual clothing, the material thicker, giving it a dignified and composed look. "Purple..." The words had barely left his lips when a sudden, violent surge of cold air rushed to his throat. He abruptly covered his mouth, his shoulders trembling violently, and he coughed uncontrollably. Cough cough cough— Soft, suppressed coughs erupted, his frail body bending into a thin arc, his pale knuckles pressed tightly against his lips, his eyes reddening from coughing, a sickly blush rising on his pale cheeks. The cold poison was aggravated by this momentary thought, his meridians throbbing, his blood churning uncontrollably. His eyes welled up with tears from coughing, physiological moisture condensing in them, blurring his vision, even his fingertips trembling slightly. Seeing this, Jin Ci, who was standing guard nearby, felt a pang of anxiety. He quickly stepped forward to support the swaying body and patted his back, his voice urgent and pained: "Your Highness! Don't choose anymore, don't strain yourself! Your health is the most important thing!" It's just a glimpse from afar, why torture yourself like this? Why drag your broken body around, insisting on a single robe? Mu Feng shook his head slightly, gently pushing away Jin Ci's support. He took a long time to catch his breath, suppressing the metallic taste in his throat, his eyes still showing an unyielding stubbornness. He paused for a moment, his breath still weak, his voice as light as the wind: "No... I have to choose." "I want to look nice." He looked up in her direction, his dark eyes filled with pure and humble thoughts, each word soft: "It's been so long since I've seen Sui Sui." "I've been sick for so long, I've lost so much weight, and I look terrible." "I want to look nice, to look more energetic." "Even if it's just a glimpse from afar, I don't want her to see me in such a wretched state." He was afraid, afraid that if she saw him in this broken and useless state, she would feel disgust. He reached out and touched the light red brocade robe, his fingertips gently tracing the delicate patterns, and softly decided: "I'll wear red." "Red makes you look healthier." "Sui Sui should like it." He smiled faintly, a very faint smile, falling on his pale face, so gentle it was heartbreaking. "If I wear red, she'll spot me immediately if she happens to catch a glimpse." He carefully folded the red robe and placed it beside his pillow, as if it were a priceless treasure. He obediently looked up at Jinci, his voice soft and childlike with anticipation: "I've chosen." "I'll wear this in three days, okay?" Jinci's hands clenched tightly at his sides, his eyes stinging and red. He could only force back his sobs and nodded in a hoarse voice: "Okay." "Whatever Your Highness says."

    These are all exceptionally good, written by the same author. They're the kind of stories that flow slowly and steadily. The author's character development is truly superb, and there's virtually no angst in the writing. However, the male lead's early chapters are generally quite bittersweet, while the female lead's are less so. There's very, very little angst (except for the tragic backstories of the male and female leads at the beginning), but I still found myself crying buckets while reading. It's truly exceptional. This author is absolutely amazing at writing this kind of story. I've read every single one of her books, and they're all just wonderful. I can't describe it well; you have to see for yourselves. It's the only book I've read without skipping chapters after reading so many others. It's simply so good, so incredibly good! Books 5 and 6 aren't the kind that easily cause heartbreak, but they're still worth reading—they're really excellent. Trust me, even as a seasoned bookworm.

Shen, plagued by illness, stomach problems, and extreme sensitivity, binds his beloved Gu Yanrong to a business marriage, trapping himself in a cage of insecurity and uncertainty. He waits for her late into the night, his stomach aching from the cold wind; a single cold word from her can instantly bring tears to his eyes; when she mentions divorce, he trembles in pain, clutching his stomach and curling into a ball, secretly shedding tears. He is extremely starved for love and insecure, easily hurt by neglect, choked up by misunderstandings, and prone to tears at the slightest discomfort. Despite being a high and mighty CEO, he becomes utterly humble in her presence. The female lead, though outwardly cold, has a heart of stone; seeing him trembling in pain and crying pitifully, she can't help but turn back to comfort, protect, and cherish him.

    This is a must-read. In the story before his death, the male lead is a crybaby, afraid the female lead won't accept him (but it's a submissive role, behaving like a superior). After his death, the roles are reversed, with a queen-like male lead setting (but not a matriarchal society), and the male lead again lacks security. The female lead is incredibly good at comforting, a classic ETP female lead, so her methods are unconventional and precise. The male lead is a classic INTJ. The mutual unrequited love is very satisfying.

    Reader note

    "(Quick Transmigration) Saving the Villain in Progress" is a slightly angsty, heartwarming, and incredibly sweet story! Shen Nian, the Director of the Time-Space Bureau, arrives in a small world, intending to kill the villain Bai Hezhu, but instead finds him curled up in a dungeon, covered in wounds, before he turns evil. Bai Hezhu suffered hardship from a young age, becoming a down-on-his-luck male prostitute. He was framed, beaten, and humiliated, never treated kindly. Deep down, he was filled with inferiority and insecurity, a fragile crybaby who would easily break down in tears. He feared the dark, pain, and abandonment. The slightest neglect would cause him to secretly sob, his eyes reddening, his body trembling, afraid to approach anyone, his sense of security at rock bottom. Shen Nian, with a soft heart, rescues him, becoming his only light. The male lead is sensitive and fragile; when wronged, he can only silently shed tears, afraid to make a scene or argue, only daring to cautiously cling to the female lead. The female lead patiently comforts him, protects him, and heals him, tenderly nurturing his broken self. The story is heartbreaking and pitiful at the beginning, but gently redeems the protagonist later. It features a love-starved, crybaby villain and a strong yet soft-hearted heroine. It's both heart-wrenching and sweet, and every scene touches your heart!
