   I feel this is quite sadistic, it is my first sadistic article. The male protagonist lost his memory in the year when he loved the female protagonist the most, and his memory stayed in the year when he loved the first love the most. The key is that when he lost his memory, his heroine was pregnant. He told the heroine that he didn't want this child and that he didn't love this child, but then he turned around and started caring about the child of his first love. The female protagonist later died in childbirth, but she still gave her child the name the male protagonist had given him before he lost his memory. Not long after the death of the female protagonist, the male protagonist regained his memory and couldn't accept what he had done. He was crazy and later committed suicide. It's probably like this. What I described is not very sad, but when you read the content it is really sad. I cried for a long time when I was watching it.
