Bagaimanakah saya boleh menyembunyikan limpahan teks selepas baris kedua dengan elipsis dan pembilang tersuai ('...123 T.')?

.container {
  max-width: 200px;
  margin: 5px;
}

.main-text {
  line-height: 1.2em; /* line height */
  max-height: calc(2 * 1.2em); /* limit height to 2 lines */
  overflow: hidden;
  display: inline-block;
  position: relative;
}

.main-text:after {
  content: "123 T.";
  display: inline-block;
  width: 40px;
  position: relative;
  z-index: 999;
  /* big box shadow to hide the ellipsis */
  box-shadow:
    40px 0 0 #fff,
    80px 0 0 #fff,
    120px 0 0 #fff,
    160px 0 0 #fff;
  color: #8e8f8f;
  font-size: 10px;
  background: #fff; /* cover text beneath */
  margin-left: 2px;
}

.main-text span {
  position: absolute;
  /* bottom right position */
  top: 1.2em; /* 1 line height */
  right: 0;
  padding: 0 3px;
  background: #fff; /* cover text beneath */
}

.main-text span:before {
  content: "..."; /* ellipsis */
}

.main-text span:after {
  content: "123 T.";
  color: #8e8f8f;
  font-size: 10px;
}
