Found a Book Rated 9.9, Take It, No Need to Thank Me
Here's a book I'd give 9.9 out of 10. Search for the author to find it: The Girl Who Swallows Ghosts. That's the author's name; the book is called The Last Female Mystic.

Please Recommend Stories About Ordinary People Falling in Love
I don't want to read stories about romance among people who have nothing to do with ordinary life anymore. No more CEOs, goddesses chasing after the male lead, or male leads who are loaded. I want to read about ordinary people having simple, everyday romances.

I've searched through so many period novels, and they all turn out to be unfinished. Some authors don't even get basic everyday details right, which totally takes me out of the story. I've been looking for days and still haven't found one that feels true to the era.

It's a school-life story about someone who is reborn.
Reborn and Focused on Studying Hard
Nothing too flashy. Just someone who’s reborn and works hard at studying. A romance is fine, and they can make a little money too. Just don’t make the relationships between characters too complicated.

The author's writing is clean and pure. I cried during the chapters about Xiaochi losing contact in America and the later deaths of loved ones and friends. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 The ending was an unexpected surprise and filled me with gratitude. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I love this work! 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋 I will always support you, author. Please write more great works.
It's a great show. I feel a bit sad about Li Yousong's character; he was so vibrant and quietly did so much. He's my type, haha.
As a seasoned bookworm, I've read countless novels, mostly just to kill time, but this one is truly exceptional. The plot twists and turns are nothing short of spectacular, making it a must-read.
I don't know why the rating is so low; maybe it's because it's a niche genre. But it's genuinely good, a breath of fresh air in the historical fiction genre. Although the protagonist's personality isn't perfect, it's precisely because of this imperfection that it feels more real, making it both lovable and frustrating, and leaving you deeply immersed in the story long after finishing it.
I haven't read many high school romance novels before, finding them a bit childish, but after reading this one, the love between the male and female leads was so sweet it made me smile like a proud aunt. It didn't have the clichéd, childish plot I expected, but instead conveyed the sweet journey of a couple growing from naivety to maturity. I really like this couple.
So sweet it's cloying, so heartbreaking it'll make you cry... This is the best novel I've read in this reading section. One minute I'm all smiles like a doting aunt, the next I'm crying my eyes out... At first, I really liked Chen Xi, hoping to find my "past life" husband and continue our romance. Later, I slowly fell for Xiao Chi, but their relationship was just too tragic.
I haven't finished reading the book yet. This is the first time I've written a book review before finishing it, and it's even five stars. Why is that? Because, to my utter surprise, the male lead of this story is actually the best male lead I've read all year—absolutely flawless! And he's only 18! All things considered, he completely outshines all other male leads!
I've finished reading the story. The author's writing is excellent; the characters are vividly portrayed. The male lead is simply an endearing, loyal dog, and the second male lead possesses a gentle strength. I thought the male and female leads would live happily ever after, but ultimately they couldn't defy fate.
Every character feels so genuine, like a vibrant person living among us. The writing is truly superb. Xiao Chi's death was genuinely heartbreaking. Even after returning to her childhood, it was impossible to feel happy. I hate tragedies. If I had known this book was a tragedy from the start, I probably wouldn't have clicked on it and would have missed out on such a wonderful book.
This book has a very novel theme. I really loved it. Even after finishing it, I still felt a lingering sense of enjoyment. I'm planning to reread it. The only thing that really bothered me was the male protagonist's ending. Although he was reborn and had a new ending, it just didn't feel the same.
