   Complete angst is unhealthy, but a mix of joy and sorrow is also good (none of the following are romance-free). The first book is lighthearted at the beginning, with quick transitions between joy and sorrow later on – isn't that satisfying? You can read it regardless of your mood. The second book is about torturing all sorts of prodigies; the ending is a happy one, the protagonist is beautiful, tragic, and strong – great! He merges with the Dao, abandoning his life and name; the cultivation world is saved! The third book, the author said the initial version was truly angsty, but compared to that, the current content isn't as angsty, though it can slightly dampen your good mood. The whole text has a pervasive sense of sadness (in my opinion). Jun Xingzhou's most carefree days were at Lishan, but back then he was called Su Yunlan, and he had a disciple named Jiang Ruzuo. But later, things didn't turn out as they were; everything at Lishan felt like a fleeting dream.

    I guess you might like these three books. I don't need to introduce "Two Huskies" (a popular Chinese novel), "Red and White Wedding" is an ensemble piece with many subtle but painful moments; in the end, only one person survives. "Bronze Sparrow Locks Golden Hairpin" is a Republican-era novel, similar to the previous one. This one has a side couple with a tragic ending, which is very tear-jerking. There's a misunderstanding between the main characters, and the male lead indirectly harms the female lead's entire family, but it's not his fault; he was instructed to do so, and he didn't know there were people in the city at the time. His superiors told him to evacuate and clear the mines. The first book has an impure male lead, is melodramatic, and has a large age gap. The second book isn't particularly noteworthy, just a few intimate scenes. The third book has a large age gap, misunderstandings, and forced love, but the forced love is relatively minor; the male lead mostly respects the female lead's wishes.
