   The first one, I fell in love with the plot. It's not procrastinating and I can't stand the abuse. It's super sweet to watch this. Not only is the writing very passionate, but also the second one is. Secret love is really one person's chaos. I read it carefully for 6 years. I feel very inferior and super distressed [I almost cried]. The writing of the article is also very interesting. The third one is emotionally delicate and brings tears to my eyes no matter how many times I read it. The fourth one is also a sweet story. It's super good-looking. I love you so much in both directions [love] Fifth, the writing is very good, the plot is well connected, and the character creation is superb. Thumbs up.
