   The male lead is a prime minister, suffering from a heart ailment and of lowly status. In his past life, he shielded the female lead from an arrow, and she, reborn, redeems him. His frail health is described in great detail. "Xie Qingyue, what's wrong with you!" Su Qingyue heard his obviously abnormal breathing, and her heart clenched instantly. It was a heart attack; she had witnessed it in her past life, but never as severe as this. Taking advantage of Lu Chen turning to look at Xie Qingyue, she frantically rushed to the bedside to help him, but he dodged her. This avoidance was sharper than any words, cutting into her eyes with a painful ache. "Uh... Let's go..." He curled up, the veins on his neck bulging like spiderwebs. Most terrifying were his usually clear eyes—now clouded with a deathly gray, as if his soul was being ripped away by some invisible force. His face instantly turned deathly pale, and the last trace of color on his lips quickly faded, turning a horrifying bluish-purple. His long, slender fingers gripped the fabric of his shirt tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, the veins on the back of his hands bulging. His breathing became rapid and broken, each inhale seeming to draw all his strength, emitting a terrifying "hoarse" sound from his throat. Cold sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his temples and collar. His pupils began to dilate, his gaze unfocused, staring into the void, as if he were fighting an invisible enemy. "Pfft!" Xie Qingyue suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body collapsing limply, unconscious.

    Reader note

    Most of the books feature two male leads. The last two are classics among books with sickly protagonists. "The Scumbag Emperor" is a classic I've reread many times from the "Mo Zong" series ("The Enemy's Trap," "The Ex Returns," and "Mo Zong's True Love"). The characters' strength amidst weakness is heartbreaking, and every book is excellent. "The Regent" is also written by the same author as "Mo Zong." I personally prefer "The Scumbag Emperor," but this one is also very good. The third book deserves special mention; the progression of the illness is described in great detail, and the protagonists' inner thoughts are portrayed with great subtlety. It has a happy ending. The last two books feature male leads who are handsome, strong, and tragically fated. They are initially sick or injured, rescued by the female lead, and then achieve a successful comeback. The plots are very tight, so you can read them with your brain engaged.
