   It would be a real loss if I don't recommend reading the recent super novels. I know all too well the pain of book shortage among you guys, so today I'm here to save you all with a superb list of novels. Each one is my favorite that I stayed up late to read. I won't say much and will just start promoting it. "She Stops Coaxing Him" ​​This book really made me cry [crying] The heroine Jiang Qiao had just been diagnosed with terminal gastric cancer, and she met the young man Xu Si. I thought it was salvation, but fate kept pressing on me. The love between the two grew wildly, but they were severely pulled away by reality. The graduation photo became the last one. When the college entrance examination bell rang, the heroine's life also came to an end. The characters of the male and female protagonists are also very three-dimensional. That kind of extreme torture has great stamina, and be aesthetic lovers will enjoy it with their eyes closed! "You Broken Promises" The story of Xiang Yu and Song Huaishi. It started as an agreement when they were young, but gradually fell apart in reality. Xiang Yu failed to keep the agreement to be admitted to Jiangnan University together. Song Huaishi also let go of the past after meeting Wen Wan. The once passionate love has become mottled over the years, which makes people lament that love can sometimes be so fragile in the face of fate. "Reading the Letter Again" Fang Zhengyang's sentence "If I live to be 22 years old, I want to marry her, really." This sentence is really touching. The story revolves around affection and regret. The male protagonist failed to survive that winter, and the token left behind became the female protagonist's lifelong longing. The pain of not being able to love is vividly portrayed by the author, and every word is like a knife piercing the reader's heart. "Secret Love is a Massive Pantomime" Secret love is a person's chaos. This book by Secret Love is sour, sweet and carefully described. The protagonist wanders alone in secret love and hesitates to talk about it. Those moments of secret attention seem to be happening around us, and people can't help but recall their own secret love time. "The Late Rain of Xiaoxiao" is the story of Ye Xiao and Ruan Yusheng. "The person I hate the most is Ruan Yusheng, and the person I like the most is Ruan Yusheng. There is only Ruan Yusheng." The love between two cowards. The writing style is exquisite, and the story is the flavor of the story. In a world intertwined with wood, the fate of the protagonists is entangled with each other. Sitting uses beautiful brushstrokes to outline vivid characters and the complex emotional entanglements between them, making people immersed in it and feeling the beauty and helplessness of love.
