The Green Leaves Had Become Flowers by the Time They Fell in Love

Looking for Books That Feel Especially Realistic

Close to real life.

Looking for Contemporary Urban Fiction About Everyday Life, Grounded and Close to Reality!

Please Recommend Stories Where the Second Female Lead's Romance Is More Compelling Than the Heroine's!

I’m looking for a book with beautifully written, delicate romance between the second male and female leads, ideally as compelling as the main couple’s relationship. (I’m also fine with the heroine having no love interest ❛˓◞˂̵✧) I’d also like the plot to avoid too many cringe-inducing twists, with good prose and a female lead.

Looking for a Low-Key, Everyday Love Story Between Ordinary People

I've read lots of books where the protagonist has a cheat. Now I want an ordinary love story and an ordinary, peaceful life. Historical or modern romance is fine, any era. I'm tired of generals, marquises, CEOs, and emperors. I'd like to read stories where their subordinates are the main characters.

I’ll Always Submit to the Clearheaded, Rational Heroines in These Authors’ Stories

Want to watch something like "Gan!" A book that puts aside the plot to help others and respects the fate of scumbags. Quick wear, guide, high quality

Looking for Realistic Marriage Stories, Nothing Too Far-Fetched or Overly Sweet

Everyday life, realistic views on marriage, a couple working together, marital conflicts, careers, family, children, and mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships. Keep it realistic, please. No wealthy-family romances; they feel too far-fetched.

Any Stories with a Teacher as the Protagonist?

The protagonist should be a teacher or something along those lines.

Recommendations for Ancient or Modern Stories Without a Virgin Couple, for a Change from Reading So Many Stories with Chaste Leads

Ladies, please recommend historical or modern novels where the couple aren't each other's firsts. Completed stories preferred, completed stories! I've read too many books where they are each other's firsts and want a change of pace. Thanks, ladies!

Any Realistic Romance Novels With a Calm, Everyday Feel?

I don't want wealthy-family stories or some kind of golden finger. I want something grounded in real life, unforgettable, and well written. The plot shouldn't move too fast, but it should be vivid and engaging, with an original storyline. Could some lovely fairy please grace me with a recommendation? I'm seriously out of things to read.

Everyday Life Among Ordinary People, No Politics

Looking for a Female Lead Who's Insightful, Emotionally Intelligent, Well-Versed in Social Nuance, and Deeply Understands Human Nature

Preferably a completed cultivation novel with a male lead who has little presence, or ideally no male lead at all.

Looking for Mid-Length Workplace Romance and Marriage Novels

Romance first, workplace drama second. No stories where the second male lead wins. I want a reasonable plot and mature writing. I hope nobody recommends the sort of thing middle-aged women read 👀 (muttering under my breath)
