He says he tends to give others his whole heart. He says he has a self-sacrificing personality. At first, I wondered how self-sacrificing he could be. Later, I 10.1kReads9.1Score1.6kShelves

    The first book is about Jiang Xu, but not Qi Jiaming. The second book begins with "My name is Wu Xing, the 'Xing' in 'happiness'" and ends with "My name is Wu Xing, the 'Xing' in 'unfortunate'." The third and fifth books are also incredibly heart-wrenching; read the fifth book first, then the third.

    You said the sun was carefree and without worry, but then it set, sacrificing itself. You said the moon was serene and ordinary, but then it lost its light and vanished from the world. You said the star was fortunate, lucky as in "fortune," but then the star fell, and no one cared. They resolved their regrets, the protagonist was safe, and then everything ended, the song ended and the audience dispersed... Ahhhhhh! Why are so many knives suddenly stabbing my heart! My poor star, the "fortune" in "fortune" is indeed "fortune," but in the end, it still lacked that luck.

    Books 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 19, and 20 are all quite heart-wrenching. I highly recommend books 13, 14, and 17; they're funny but also have some angst. It's been too long since I've remembered how angst the others were, but they're all pretty good. The last two are newer books and are also quite heart-wrenching.
