   The first book was short, but it hit me right in the heart; I cried until I fainted. The second book actually had a pretty big contrast in the last epilogue, but the main text was also very heart-wrenching. After reading it, I kept hating Tang Shaoxuan. The third book was a bit longer, but it was also very heart-wrenching (I lost three pounds in one night; I just burst into tears).

   The first story is about a princess who cleverly counters every move, leading to the execution of the entire family of the prince who framed her—a satisfying read. The second story features a heroine who discovers her husband has been replaced with a stranger at her wedding. Her mother-in-law pressures her to complete the ceremony, and the reason is... The third story features a heroine bitten by a spider, leaving her only able to gurgle. She needs a kiss from her most cherished person to recover—who turns out to be her fake sister?

    Reader note

    The first one really made me cry my eyes out. A while after watching it, I suddenly thought of Shen Nian during class and cried. The aftereffects were really strong (it probably varies from person to person), and it was really hard to let go. Another one is "Broken Promises," about Jiang Nian and Zhou Mian (also a romance), completely different from "I Sacrifice My Deepest Feelings for the Years," but I couldn't find the tag anywhere, and it was also very good. "Inferior Omega" is the kind of story that's particularly bittersweet. "Whale Falls into the Abyss" is also very good, and the angst is truly heart-wrenching.

    110,000 Words isn't a lot; too short and the plot wouldn't be able to develop properly. This book definitely deserves a 9.5 Or higher rating.

    Losing his beloved from both past and present lives, he turned white-haired overnight. "In this life, I clearly met her first, we clearly fell in love first, how could I have lost her?" Bai Jingxuan hated himself, pounding his head in frustration. Thinking of the loving moments they shared in both lives, the longing and pain of those two lifetimes intertwined, forming a river of grief. He was heartbroken, his heart aching so much he could hardly breathe. Unable to suppress the overwhelming sorrow, he wept uncontrollably, his anguished sobs echoing through the courtyard. The once dignified and refined young master Bai, unable to bear the blow of losing his beloved, turned white-haired overnight. He trudged through the snow-covered courtyard towards the gate, his robes fluttering, his silver hair flying, the snow swirling around him, he seemed to merge with the icy landscape, indistinguishable from it all. He left the mansion and headed directly towards the Prince of An'nan's residence, An'nan silently following not far away.
