    Between pain and beauty, we read the skeletons and rebirth of love 😢😢😢 These heart-wrenching stories are like a cup of honey wine mixed with shards of glass. Using the pen as a scalpel, they dissect the most fragile bones of love: misunderstandings grow like thorns, fate is like a tightly locked rusted chain, and the characters, in near-cruel trials, repeatedly burn their true feelings to ashes, only to bloom again, bloodstained flowers, from the depths of despair. There is no light, sweet romance here, only a richly detailed aesthetic of pain.
