No transmigration, no being reborn, no System, a normal setting, no fantasy, no mind-reading, not a comedy, no transmigrating into a book, no angst, no tragic ending, and modern romance. Do stories like this even exist anymore?

High Intelligence, Cunning Plans, Masterful Schemes, Treating the World Like a Chessboard

Any Stories That Feel True to Life? Please, With Authors Who Use Their Brains!
I don’t want either lead to be stupid. I hope the story has a warm, everyday feel. They don’t have to be rich, but there absolutely shouldn’t be any huge misunderstandings between them. Both should be pure in love, please and thank you. I’ve been reading for years, and so many authors write things that make no sense. Sigh ╯﹏╰
Realistic Romance Novels, No CEOs or the Like
Angsty youth novels are fine too, like Fu Shouer's "Youth Is a Hasty Book".

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.

Hello everyone, I am the author Xiwen. This is a realistic novel, and all the stories come from real life, so if you like reading novels, revenge, and domineering presidents, please click out when you see this. Everyone's time is precious, so please save it for the things you like, so as not to feel unhappy. This article tells the story of self-finding and self-redemption. No one is perfect, but we can learn to be perfect. We will make many mistakes in life. The important thing is that among these mistakes, we must learn to regain the ability to be happy. Sorry, this is not a novel to dream about, life is just a mess. Still full of hope in a place of chicken feathers, learning to redeem ourselves is what each of us should learn. Thanks to the friends who stayed behind, you have a delicate heart. Thanks to the friends who have come, don't embarrass yourself, just click out if you don't like watching. There is no point in saying bad things. Please be more kind to life, so that life will treat you kindly. Finally, I would like to thank the readers who have accompanied me all the way. The most precious thing in the world is "knowing each other". You will not know how touching it is for an author's words to be seen and affirmed by others. You have given me so much that I cannot tell you one by one. Sincere thanks and gratitude.
It's rare to see this kind of book in Tomato, like the works in the novella selection, it's so attractive. The author's story is very close to reality, unlike the superpower Goldfinger in the time-travel drama. I like it very much. Usually I only read the final book, but I kept reading this one.
This book is the most refreshing one I have read since reading Tomato. It has a strong sense of reality derived from life, and the writing is beautiful and relaxed. The plot has ups and downs and is gripping. Recommend 👍
It is a very interesting book, starting from the family, love, and friendship of three women as the main line, showing that everyone's life is not only happiness, but also more or less regretful in the process. The author's writing style is smooth, the description is delicate, and it makes people think!
As a long-time bookworm, this is a book that I rarely stay up late to read at 5 a. M. In recent years. It's good-looking, has depth and content, and feels very real. It's different from the current time travel, cultivating immortality, etc. It's worth watching.
I think this is the best novel I've ever read, it's really great! The writing is smooth, the characters' emotions are on point, the images are three-dimensional, and the villains are also portrayed very well! The storyline is in-depth and exciting!!! Love it, love it!
Good-looking, very high-level, much more sophisticated than the average CEO of a wealthy family, unconventional, with superb language, and a tight and tortuous plot. Very good. Like it.
It is touching and thought-provoking, and worth reading. Compared with those time-travel plots, I don't know how much higher it is.
Every character is very fleshed out and so real that many readers have a strong sense of involvement, myself included. I cried countless times, some were moved, some were sad, some were sad, and of course, some were happy. The interpretations of family, friendship and marriage are all very good!
Wonderful, relatively real, like it 👍 Whose life is not a piece of cake, there are not many people who can bravely come out. Only when you can see the shortcomings can you grasp the perfection. It is rare for the male protagonist and female protagonist in the book to be able to understand each other, support each other, trust each other and form a tacit understanding in difficulties. Only by experiencing ups and downs can we see true love, grow, and have light shine in the darkness. The whole article is full of positive energy and makes us full of confidence in life. Everyone's experience in the book makes people feel and resonate with them, and the articles come from real life. I hope that if the script is adapted into a TV series and put on the screen, it will be recognized by more people. Thanks to the author for providing spiritual food to everyone. Thank you again to the author🌹🌹🌹I hope you will recommend your book more. Awesome👍👍👍
