    Hi!

    I'm looking for angsty stories.
    I mean, really, really angsty. Like Black Lotus (although this was over the top and wasn't really that good; seme was abusive, stupid and manipulative, all I wanted was for the uke to be happy without him, but they still end up together), Erha/2ha/Dumb Husky and His White Cat Shizun (misunderstanding, unrequited love and death. yes, death. but everyone will have a good character development, and everything would slowly be fluffy).

    I like stories where everything is painful. Sacrifices, deaths, regrets and all. Please recommend some to me! Thank you!

    The Blind Concubine is nice. Very angsty. But, its a bad ending so...read at your own risk.

    Gaze at the Scenes of Debauchery (READ THIS! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!)
    He Doesn't Know I'm Dead (ALSO HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! EVERY. CHAPTER. MADE. ME. CRY!)
    A Hundred Ways to Kill a Heartthrob (MC may be sometimes frustrating, but he also went through and suffered so much that I just wanna cuddle him)
    Scum Gong Begs Me to Get Back Together But I Just Want to Get Rich (this is half about business and investment, but that damn first chapter and flashbacks made me cry so damn hard)
    Everyone Loves Pei JiYu (MC is really pitiful here as all he did was love deeply and sincerely but almost all he got was betrayal and rejection)
    Scum Shou's Survival Guide
    Strategy to Capture that Scum Gong (Every ending made me cry, especially that arc about father and son)

    I just finished reading GATSD and although it had similarities with 10 years where I loved you the most, I think... this one was a little bit more cruel. I think, at least, Wen Qing finally got the peace he wanted. But still, I'm crying. ಥ‿ಥ

    Dongfang Bubai’s Reborn Yang Lianting is exactly the type of novel you're looking for!
    - abusive gong mc, who doesn't come out of the closet and lusts after power and position
    - pitiful shou ml, who's helplessly in love and willing to give up everything for him
    - questions about gender and sexuality
    - tragic deaths, past and present lifetimes

    Angst but not dumb and emotional dependent MCs.


    人上人(崔罗什)
    -unrequited love
    -fluffy towards the end
    -rebound relationship
    -ML just came out of a long term relationship that had no issue aside from a different goal in life.

    These are angsty story that have plots where both MC have an actual life aside from a ducking relationship problem:
    唇枪(薇诺拉)
    -about broadcasting
    Mc asked help from ml, ml is like a mentor to him and a backer.

    满城衣冠(薇诺拉)
    -law
