    💔BE Aesthetics Ceiling|Those books that make people suffocate with pain, **"The most extreme romance is to write love into regrets with your own hands."** I have been crazy about BE aesthetics recently, and those stories full of brokenness are like cutting flesh with a dull knife, painful but people can't stop. Let me share a few books that made me cry until I was short of oxygen. The stamina was so strong that I couldn't stop it... Love that is as temporary as fireworks is extremely beautiful and extremely painful. 📖"The Sad Thing of Secret Love" - The heroine has been secretly in love with her childhood sweetheart for many years - She never dared to confess her feelings and witnessed the hero falling in love with others - Finally left her hometown with her unspoken love - They reunited many years later, but the hero still didn't know what she meant 📖 "You Broke a Promise" - The hero and heroine once promised to never separate - The hero married someone else due to family pressure - The heroine gradually despaired while waiting - The male protagonist regretted it in his later years but it was too late 📖 "Old Dreams 1913" - A progressive young man fell in love with a lady during the Republic of China - The war caused the two to be separated - The male protagonist died in the battle, and the female protagonist had to wait her whole life - Before she died, she received the final letter from the male protagonist many years ago 📖 "The Sound of Rain is Late" - Two people who had a crush on each other in school - Missed each other due to misunderstanding and pride - They already had families when they reunited ten years later - Relatively silent in the rainy night cafe 📖"The Spring of Next Year" - The seriously ill heroine conceals her illness and falls in love with the hero - Promise to get married in the coming spring - The heroine dies in the cold winter - The hero spends the spring alone without her 📖"You will come back at dawn" - The husband disappears unexpectedly - The wife firmly believes that he will come back - Years later, it is discovered that the husband has been killed - At dawn, we must finally face reality 📖"To Wang Lun" - The profound love arising from a brief encounter - Choosing to fall in love despite knowing that there is no future - Forced smiles when parting - Missing that stolen time for the rest of my life 📖"Blank Paper and Like" - Ambiguous feelings between high school classmates - The note filled with thoughts was never sent - No contact after graduation - When sorting out old things, I found that the other party also wrote the same note back then 📖A brief summary of the plot of "Reading the Letter Again" -The childhood sweethearts and heroine keep in touch through letters for many years -The letters record their emotional changes from youth to adulthood -The story revolves around the trust and misunderstanding between the two -In the end, they grow up with the regrets unique to youth -The open ending leaves room for the reader's imagination (Core: an epistolary youth story, telling the sour feeling of missing out and growing up) ✨Why are we always crazy about BE? Because regret is more unforgettable than perfection, because tears are closer to the soul than smiles, because what is not available and lost is the truest form of love. "BE is not the ending, but the shot of love in the heart."
