   Reader note

   A bittersweet emotional journey from sweetness to heartbreak: The initial mutual campus romance is beautiful and touching, with the two promising to attend the same university; later, due to family changes (father's infidelity, mother's cancer) and external pressure, Xiang Yu is forced to break up, with the heartbreak building layer by layer. A sense of fateful cruelty: Nine years after the breakup, Song Huaishi hastily marries, but Xiang Yu dies of illness. The ending, "one still thinking of her before death, the other saying at her grave, 'Let's never meet again in the next life,'" pushes the regret to its extreme. Classic tear-jerking scenes: Xiang Yu's final hallucination before death, returning to her seventeen-year-old self, attempting to embrace the boy from her memories; Song Huaishi setting off fireworks at Xiang Yu's grave, echoing their youthful promises, maximizing the heartbreak. Suitable for: Readers who prefer realistic tragedies and are sensitive to themes of life and death; those who enjoy narratives of "unrequited love" and "time displacement."

    *Walking and Stopping Late* tells the story of a naive young girl lured into the palace by the Empress Dowager, seemingly innocent but actually quite perceptive. The ending, with the truth revealed—her body buried under a pear tree—creates a stark contrast that tears at the heart. A classic example of seemingly sweet but actually heartbreaking, the suffocating feeling is ever-present. *You Broke Your Promise* tells the story of a fifteen-year unrequited love that transforms into an obsession. The male lead marries another, yet remains slow to realize his true feelings, leaving the protagonist with an intense and unsettling sense of loss.

    Lin Zhishan narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze piercing through the crowd and quietly settling on the boy named Tan Shengxu. In that instant, a long-hidden string of sadness within her was gently touched, a wave of bitterness welling up in her heart, and a stinging sensation rose in her nose. This silent, unrequited love was like a long and lonely journey. It had no beginning, let alone an end, leaving her only with a heart full of bitterness and a pile of unspeakable heartache. Gradually, the once lively and cheerful Lin Zhishan became taciturn, the deep-seated secrets weighing on her like a heavy mountain, making it hard to breathe, yet she was unwilling to easily confide in anyone.
