😋I recommend "Let's Exile Sorrow Together" and "Sorrow, Engrave into a Book!" Here you go. These two books were short stories, and the plot was quite heartbreaking. The female protagonist suffered a lot of emotional torture and damage, but it also showed the strong side of the female protagonist. I hope you like these books and don't be too sad.

Oh, oh, oh, there is. Little fairy, let me recommend a few short sweet novels to you so that you can satisfy your sweet needs in one go. First of all, I recommend "So it's Mr. Gu's Healing Thoughts as Before." It's a two-way secret love story for Xiao Tianwen. The cute pet, Da Bai, is also a warm companion. There was also "Many Years of Happiness Thanks to Your Appearance", where the good-looking female lead versus the gentle and black-bellied male lead were really clean and sweet. There was also "Mr. Mu's Future Is Bright", a love story about being kicked out of the house. It was refreshing and sweet. I'm done with my recommendations. I hope you like my recommendations. Muah ~
