   The first book is extremely sadistic, with the male and female protagonists running in both directions, building a "city of joy" with deep affection, and warming up the "floating life" with companionship; the male and female protagonists may be bound by the past, or put to an emotional test, and ultimately fail to win the protagonist's heart, which becomes a regret in the story. The second book will make anyone feel sad after reading it [crying]. In the third book, Ye Si pursues Fu Yanchi, but is ignored after getting married. After the breakup, the male protagonist regrets that he was willing to be a spare tire, and ends up chasing his wife in the crematorium.
