    The woman who accepted her fate, or something like this. Enjoy, if it's your thing...

    If by suffering you mean books with a healthy dose of angst, then any book by Fei Wo Si Cun, Tong Hua, and Mo Wu Bi Ge. The first two authors tend to gravitate towards tragedies, the third author writes happy endings.

    Anyway maybe relevant but I found this Chinese poll a while back for the most heart-wrenching historical romances: https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/4...timi=&ad_test=&esqb_20per=5&abtest=&log_pic=1

    1. yun zhong ge
    2. wo de wen rou bao jun
    3. hua qian gu
    4. wan qing si
    5. Hua Xu Yin
    6. fei hou jiang jun
    7. you ji jing hong zhao ying
    8. hua qian gu (not sure why it's duplicated from #3)
    9. qian ze hua
    10. nu er qi qi
    11. san sheng san shi shi li tao hua
    12. Bu Bu Jing Xin

    I've read most of the books on that list and they're some of the most heart-wrenching books I've come across; the suffering is off the charts. Except maybe #11, which is a good book but not much suffering.

    Have you read fei hou jiang jun? I just read the synopsis and wanted to know more about it. So if you have read the story, could you please give me the spoilers?

    It's a short read and both leads suffer.
