   The post titled "She Stops Coaxing Him" ​​reads: Summer roses never fade, a seventeen-year-old boy becomes a trapped beast. ["Meeting was in the height of summer, parting was also in the height of summer; his little rose will forever remain hidden in that summer."] Xu Si will always remember that September of 2015, when the girl in the white dress, clutching a medicine bottle, stumbled into his arms. From then on, the troublesome school bully always kept warm water and painkillers in his drawer. Jiang Qiao, like a stubborn white rose, smiled at him amidst illness and medicine, unaware that the countdown on her medical record had already begun. When the boy frantically searched through the garbage dump in the pouring rain, clutching an empty medicine bottle, when the top student tore up all his math Olympiad certificates with red eyes, when the tattoo needle etched a rose mark on his ribs—this grand farewell named after summer ultimately became a heart-wrenching, life-or-death struggle. ["Jiang Qiao, you promised to coax me for a lifetime." He knelt before the tombstone, clutching the yellowed love letter. Rose thorns pierced his palm, but he would never again see the girl who would tiptoe to put a band-aid on him.] Highlights: ★ The pinnacle of tragic love separated by life and death, the ultimate tragic ending from school to the cemetery ★ A sickly, aloof academic genius x a possessive, loyal school bully, revealing a bloody youth from dual perspectives ★ The cicadas' chirping in the height of summer intertwines with the sound of electrocardiogram monitors, a tearjerker of sweetness laced with shards of glass. Classic lines: "Xu Si, you must see the world through my eyes." "Jiang Qiao, you broke your promise, so I'll punish you by making you my little rose in your next life." Reader's crying warning: When white coats are stained with disinfectant and the scent of roses, when a boy kisses his lover's cold forehead in the morgue, when the last painkiller becomes a daisy before the tombstone—a tragic love that ends only in death, do you dare to open this book of summer?

   This is the author's third book. The author likes to write angst, and the beginning is always very angsty (not that it won't be angsty later on), but the author is really good at writing. I haven't cried while reading novels for a very long time, but this one really made me cry many times. The female lead is a bit paranoid, but I think that's to be expected. Sometimes I wonder why I can't accept that the Crown Prince has his reasons, but as soon as that thought comes to mind, I feel like I'm being too harsh on her. She really went through a lot of suffering and torment. In the first few dozen chapters, I even wanted her to succeed in making purple clay quickly. It was really too tiring to read, too dark and hopeless. I felt so depressed, let alone those who were in the middle of it and were betrayed. Having sold herself several times, almost breaking her leg and nearly losing her life, honestly, it's already quite remarkable that she can remain a normal person after such experiences, let alone the female lead who lives so well. Her resilience, tenacity, and strong will to live are truly impressive. In the extra chapters, in the Crown Prince's storyline, A-Yue bravely confessed her feelings, which brought tears to my eyes. Baby, if you are happy, I will cry first. A-Yue, may you always be happy. Of the three male leads, my favorite is still the Crown Prince. He is handsome, skilled in bed, intelligent, cunning, and has high status. Even after becoming emperor, he still treats the female lead the same way (of course, he still uses her, but I can understand that he is an emperor). I feel that General Qin is relatively flat (to me). He doesn't leave as deep an impression on me as the Crown Prince, but I also like him. My daughter is very relaxed and happy with him. I won't say anything about Xiao Lu. I just want him dead. (Gives middle finger)
