The epilogue is the most heartbreaking part; the little bitter gourd is finally not a little bitter gourd anymore. Second book: This book left me with a lingering sadness for a long time after finishing it. If Lao Zhou hadn't been delusional but had truly been reborn, they would have had a happy ending [crying]. Third book: If you love someone, please only love one person [crying]. Book 4: This is a collection of short stories, each one heartbreaking to read. If it weren't for those people, they would be living such good, such good, such happy lives. Book 5: Loving someone isn't about imprisoning them, but about giving them freedom. Book 6: Same review as Book 5. Book 7: The first gay-themed story I read on Tomato Books, and it left me with a lingering sense of loss. Those who have suffered so much in this life, may they find happiness in the next. Book 8: If the first seven books were too much to handle, check out this one—it's so healing! Although you can't forget them, it will show you what a happy life should be like. So, if you love someone, love only that one person and cherish them.
