    "Dr. Zhou, My Bones Hurt": Sixteen years of deep affection couldn't earn him a single word of tenderness or affection—a tragic fall from grace. Once a beloved violinist, his tendons severed, he was reduced to dust, his only solace the rabbits in his small house and Zhou Ying, the man he had loved for sixteen years. But when he was treated as a "homewrecker," pinned to the ground and beaten by the wife's family, no one listened to his pleas. His shoulder blades were crushed, his face numb from the blows, his fingers stomped on, his stomach kicked—he coughed up blood, yet still humbly begged, "I want to go home and feed the rabbits"—his last remaining thought. Until the gurney wheels crushed his finger bones, and he staggered to his feet, he came into Zhou Ying's view. The man he had loved for sixteen years, now wearing a white coat, was an elegant and dignified doctor, but also the one who pushed him into deeper despair. Every punch, every kick landed on flesh, every plea was ignored, even his last shred of dignity was trampled underfoot. This heart-wrenching and suffocatingly poignant love story hides the brokenness of Wen Ci's life. Every word is heart-wrenching, making one wonder if this person, repeatedly battered by fate, can find a glimmer of redemption.

    Reader note

    The first book definitely fits the description. At the beginning, I thought the female lead had traveled to the future (I don't remember exactly), but later I discovered she had already died in a car accident, and it was all the male lead's imagination. He adopted a son, and in his later years, he suffered from hallucinations, which his son and those around him pretended were the female lead still alive. The second book is set in a parallel world where the male lead takes the blame for a boss for money. Later, he regrets not being able to be with the female lead and tries to confess to the police, but the boss finds out and he's beaten to death in prison. The female lead was pregnant and weak, and quite poor. She died in childbirth. The male lead in this tragic story is their child. He never knew who his parents were or why they abandoned him. In the epilogue, he transmigrates into the body of the male and female leads' newborn baby (in another happy world where the male and female leads are alive and well). Only then does he realize that his parents loved him very much, but they didn't survive. The epilogue is really heartbreaking. In the third book, the female and male leads are separated because of their families. The female lead fakes her death to escape. She was pregnant and gave birth to a boy and a girl, but was tricked. Mu Yin (the daughter) was taken away after birth. She didn't know about Mu Yin's existence and raised her son alone. However, when the female lead was twenty-four years old (her son was four), she was stabbed to death and then transmigrated to more than ten years later in an eighteen-year-old body, attending high school with her son. The male lead initially attempted suicide after learning the female lead had faked her death. He was saved, but his grandfather gave him his daughter, which motivated him to live. However, when Mu Yin was four, he suffered amnesia in a car accident. Later, his grandmother (stepmother) sowed discord between them. Both the male lead and Mu Yin loved each other deeply but believed the other didn't. Over a decade later, the female lead returned and encountered Mu Yin (as a friend), discovering she was his daughter. The four of them eventually reunited. You can skip to the later chapters; the first half focuses on the female lead's interactions with her son and daughter, while the second half shows the male and female leads finally recognizing their children. Near the end, the story revolves around the male and female leads' past. I think these chapters are very well-written, but quite heart-wrenching.
