   This is the only novel I have read in recent times that made me cry. Although I have not read much sadomasochism, this is one of the few novels in which the characters of the male and female protagonists have not collapsed. They are really relieved by the extra chapters written by the author on WB. Even the relationship between the female protagonist and the male lead is very difficult. Although I prefer the male protagonist, it is really uncomfortable to see both of them helpless [crying] [crying] [crying]

    This is a very short story written in ancient Chinese, with only tens of thousands of words, but the plot is very sad. The heroine has been waiting for the hero for ten years, and there were some misunderstandings during the period, which is heart-wrenching to read. Still very beautiful and highly recommended!!!
