   The first short story is three stars for its angst level. The writing is quite good, there's a plot twist, and it has a tragic ending. There are misunderstandings and regrets, so it's best read when you want to cry. The second book is purely about physical abuse. Reading it might make you hate men. I almost couldn't continue reading, but I persevered to the end because I wanted to see the female lead commit suicide for release. It was very painful to finish. People with strong empathy should probably avoid it; it will make you depressed. It made me feel bad for a whole night after reading it. Remember to read the synopsis.

Recently, the novel "Don't Spoil Me, Your Highness: The Ruthless and Beautiful Eldest Daughter" concluded, causing a stir in the online community. Each character has a brief introduction and a quote.

Shen Xiujin's love for Jian Tong transcends lifetimes, and I don't know why, but I truly feel their love within the story.
