Novels Close to Reality
I almost never read transmigration into a book, transmigration, or domineering CEO stories. I prefer novels that stay close to real life and let me put myself into them.

For example, the male and female leads could have common, everyday jobs like teaching or medicine.

There’s a plot point where the protagonist discovers that the champion had been decided in advance in South Korea, so they smash the championship trophy. The novel is about PUBG.
Looking for a Novel
I remember this novel was written by someone they knew in another world. To change the ending, they went to this person and guided them into changing it to the ending the male and female leads wanted.

A wonderful book. Written using a narrative style, it's unpretentious, unexaggerated, natural, vivid, and logical. It's neither vulgar nor obscene, neither pretentious nor lowbrow; it feels like the people of that era, like the older and younger sisters around me. Like a clear mountain spring gently flowing through my heart, it awakens past memories.
The language is simple, the story ordinary, but within that ordinariness we see the protagonist's positive and optimistic attitude towards life. It's been a long time since I've seen a work like this; it's definitely worth reading.
I've been reading this book for quite some time now. At first, I felt the author's depiction of human nature was spot-on, but the characters lacked a certain charisma. Later, I realized I was being overly sensitive 😂. These characters are real, living people, not fictional beings created for readers to dream about, making it a very enjoyable read.
The story feels very real; the female protagonist's experiences reflect the changes of the times, and her hard work and other positive qualities allow her to change her destiny. It's a very inspiring novel.
This book is very realistic. It felt like I was witnessing what happened to my colleagues and friends. It felt like the author was writing about his own experiences, and my heart was constantly in my throat. I finished it in two days in one go. I was so engrossed in reading that I had to listen to it while doing other things. Fortunately, the hardship was over in the end, and I was happy for Yu Min's later life! Try searching for the author's other works...
Excellent realism is very inspiring Highly recommended. Amidst my busy work schedule, I listened to "The Story of Xishan" intermittently, and it left me with many thoughts. Friend, Do you like Lu Yao's "Life", "Morning Begins at Noon", and "Ordinary World"? Do you like Alai's "Ode to Joy", "All Is Well" and "Like a Flowing River"?
I've been looking for realistic stories but can't find any. I read dozens of chapters of this in one go. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I like this kind of real and simple stuff. 😹😹 However, judging from the number of readers, it's clear that most authors still write about quick transmigration and CEO romance novels. And with the suppression of recommendations and wish-fulfillment novels, these kinds of books may become increasingly rare. So read them while you can and cherish them.
The portrayal of love is quite realistic. It doesn't depict unrequited love or a dramatic reversal of fortune, like Yu Min's ex-husband Jiang, who, while loving her, only experienced a small part of life and had to painfully let go due to the harsh realities of life. Dorje also had feelings for the female lead, but after unrequited love or lack of courage to pursue her, he married someone else.
Reading this book has a slow and steady feel to it, and I hope the author will write more and better works. Yu Min is unfortunate, but also fortunate. Although she encountered many hardships and torments, she was fortunate to have the support and help of her family, friends, classmates, and colleagues. This kind of luck is not something everyone has. At the same time, Yu Min is also a strong and optimistic person who bravely faces difficulties and ultimately achieves a happy and fulfilling life!
I find it very interesting to be able to read books online like this. I also hope you can publish some literary works, because I will be in my final year of junior high school soon. Thank you.
