1. People Change Eventually
People Change Eventually is a poignant and romantic story by Iris Cao. Iris Cao brings a powerful, positive energy through her stories, reflecting on life's struggles, family love, and the beautiful human values surrounding us. Her tales are living testaments to change — change in relationships, family, and people that come and go in life. The most painful thing isn’t betrayal, but the fact that everyone eventually changes.
Love and life are no different — change happens either swiftly and unexpectedly or so slowly that it goes unnoticed. Truly, as you reflect on it, change is inevitable; even you may have felt it — the shifting of your own shape, personality, the fractures, and moments of brilliance that once appeared in your life. As we grow, things become harder to understand, and change becomes a constant part of it.

3. My Ex Has a New Love
My Ex Has a New Love is a heartfelt narrative filled with the author's sorrow as they watch the person they once thought would walk beside them through life now holding hands with someone else. Even though there is still a lingering attachment to the past, there is a painful realization that those emotions no longer hold any rightful place. While it's clear that the author still cares, the relationship has turned into something of the past, and there is no longer the right to feel jealousy or question the other person’s choices.
Even though the author is aware of the situation, it still stirs up a painful mix of emotions: "She has a new love. There's nothing wrong with that, nothing strange about it. Yet, the one who left is me, standing at a crossroads, feeling a helpless longing for a relationship that has ended." This book also explores the feelings of unrequited love, the deep yearning from the heart, and the regret over past mistakes that irreparably shattered a relationship.
With a gentle and concise writing style, Iris Cao takes readers through the full spectrum of love's emotions — from the innocence of young love to the heartbreaks and broken days in a deteriorating relationship.

6. Today, They Say Goodbye
Today, They Say Goodbye is a sad story about love and parting ways. Breakups bring a sense of heartache that arrives slowly, almost painfully. Today, the person she loves the most will become nothing more than a memory, a name she can no longer touch. There are many reasons people choose to leave, but what do the beautiful moments behind mean when that moment arrives? Perhaps she’s just imagining it all, making it seem grand in her own world.
Even though we’ve parted, you will always be a love etched deep within me. Thank you for loving me through the scorching sun, for enduring the sweat-stained shirt while walking me through every corner. Thank you for loving me in the rainy days, with your smile in the downpour being the most beautiful thing I’ll carry with me. I know you too hurt from letting go. At the end of our youth, we paused. Tomorrow, we wake up, no longer together. Out there, new loves await, stronger, more mature. There will be shy hand-holding, warm smiles that feel foreign, and new paths after the awkward, dreamy days of our youth. Because this love didn’t carry scars, we should continue living our lives peacefully.
