   ① The first book is filled with regret and heartache. Jiang Yun Chu, bound by the King of the Underworld, can only seek pleasure in the River of Oblivion, finding amusement in teasing ghosts and collecting travel fees, until System 007 appears, allowing her to regain her physical body by completing a mission. In various small worlds, she must save powerful characters with tragic pasts who have turned to the dark side for various reasons. She has no intention of seducing them, only wanting to do good deeds quietly. In the campus romance, Jiang Yun Chu, as a fake heiress, initially bullies the male lead Jiang Yan, but later tries to make amends; in the palace world of the transmigration novel, she transforms into a femme fatale who brings ruin to the country, engaging in emotional entanglements with the emperor; there are also tragic love stories of the white moonlight and the cinnabar mole, as well as adventures in a full-immersion online game, with rich and diverse plots. ② The second book is heart-wrenching! Lu Cichuan, the man Li Mo loved to the core, ultimately pushed her into the abyss of despair. Li Mo gave him her whole heart, only to be met with endless suspicion and hurt. In the end, Li Mo died tragically, leaving behind a remorseful Lu Cichuan and a heartbroken Sang Yuwan. The book's heart-wrenching plot twists are like knives, piercing the reader's heart. "When I loved you, you didn't cherish me; when you cherished me, I left you"—their love was filled with regret and helplessness. Lu Cichuan's belated realization, Li Mo's desperate death, Sang Yuwan's grief and anger, the emotional entanglements and conflicts between the characters—all deeply moving.

Ridiculous!” Lu Cichuan's eyes were faintly red as he stared fixedly at Sang Yuwan, as if he could still brazenly torment Li Mo as long as Sang Yuwan said she wasn't dead. But... Sang Yuwan was gone.

   In the first book, both characters deeply love each other, and there's no betrayal. The protagonist (shou) thought he could live for 30 days, but ultimately succumbed to the pain of stomach cancer and committed suicide on the 28th day. The ending is tragic, and the protagonist's mother is the main culprit. In the second book, the protagonist and the protagonist's relationship begins with a joke, and after they separate, the protagonist goes insane. In the third book, is it a substitute? Not quite, but also not quite. The protagonist has already let go of his love for his "white moonlight" (unrequited love), but he returns.
