   Is love an obsession or redemption? A bittersweet aesthetic. Xiang Yu's feelings for Song Huaishi have long transcended simple love-hate entanglement, becoming a deep-seated obsession. At Song Huaishi's wedding, there were no hysterical cries, no dramatic conflicts, only a woman's distant gaze and the silhouette of her turning away. "Whether it's obsession or love, it will pass." Xiang Yu's words seem like a release from the relationship, but in reality, they conceal a deeper self-deception. She defines her feelings for Song Huaishi as an "obsession," perhaps to give herself a reason to let go, or perhaps to conceal an unhealed wound in her heart. It makes us think: in love, are we clinging to that person, or to the self that throws itself into love? Perhaps every reader can find their own answer to this question in the book.

   These four novels are all campus romances, but liking someone doesn't guarantee being together, and unrequited love won't come true. The bell that marks the end of the college entrance exam is also the bell that marks the end of life. Love can overcome all difficulties, but my inferiority complex and my troubled family situation prevent me from loving you. I only found out you liked me after we got married. It's so sad. I never had the courage to confess to you. Even though I'm the female lead in the novel, we still can't be together.
