The four arts (四藝, siyi), or the four arts of the Chinese scholar, were the four main academic and artistic accomplishments required of the aristocratic ancient Chinese scholar-gentleman. They are qin (the guqin, a stringed instrument, 琴), qi (the strategy game of Go, 棋), shu (Chinese calligraphy, 書) and hua (Chinese painting, 畫), and are also referred to by listing all four: 琴棋書畫; qínqíshūhuà.

Haven't read all of these yet. Leave a comment if you know another good tragedy/angst novel. ^-^

Complete novels that I've binge read & liked. A mixed genre collection.

...but I still keep reading stories that end in tragedies! T-T ... more>>

Tragedies do not always have a sad ending or bad ending. But they are always very distressing.

I don't particularly like it when the protagonist struggled so hard to overcome so many obstacles and his (or her) end is unnecessary or undeserved tragic death. (Ooooh, if a main character dies, he (or she) must die with all the glory.)

I deal with terminal illnesses well, as they are always moving stories. T-T

Oooh, pitiful love stories and regrets... When they are a very moving story, they are just worth reading.

(Spoilers, spoilers are always welcome to calm anxiety. -_-) <<less

Keeping track of what I liked/read. Only some I would re-read though 

"The repentance of scum*!"" The repair of scum*!"" The redemption of scum*!"... more>>

It is a theme in many novels. In almost every novel, ML starts out as a Scum*! But there are different types of scum* ... some more acceptable (in context), others intolerable and unforgivable!

They are described as handsome, cold, dominating, powerful, intelligent, ambitious, arrogant, proud, heartless ... However, ironically, they can be easily deceived by misunderstandings, evil suspicions and "the pitiful white lotus"...  and end up mistreating, harming, hurting, abusing, poisoning or torturing FL unfairly. ლಠ益ಠ)ლ

Later, when the truth is revealed, they regret everything they have done, discover that they love FL and cannot live without her! They change to be the best male for FL! Humpf! But it is so late ... hahaha a joke! t(=n=)

We like to see them suffering, begging, crawling ... but it is never enough! Or, unfortunately, they don't even suffer from anything, they don't beg for anything but they keep the girl in the end! (ಠ ∩ಠ)
>>Ok! Not everything is so bad! There are some novels that are good readings when they have a good plot and a strong and capable FL!  <<less
