Looking for Books That Feel Especially Realistic

Close to real life.

Novels That Are a Little More Realistic

The female lead has been deeply hurt by her family, then the male lead comes along and brings warmth into her life.

Sweet Romance All the Way Through: No Misunderstandings, No Clichés

The female lead should be sweet, soft, cute, and innocent, and the male lead should dote on her. No female-chases-male plot. I'm firmly here for the female lead. One-on-one romance, both leads sexually inexperienced. Sweet from the first chapter. No rebirth or quick transmigration, and no amnesia plot. It has to be tooth-achingly sweet.

Super Sweet! Super Sweet! Super Sweet! No Angst! Short and Complete.

No misunderstandings, no melodrama.

Any Laid-Back Everyday-Life Stories with a Wife?

An urban or historical setting.

Slow-Paced Stories About Farming, Stability, and a Peaceful Life

The heroine lives in the mountains, supports herself, grows crops and vegetables, and goes up the mountain to hunt for wild game. She has no family, and ideally the male lead is on his own too. No awful relatives or female rivals. I especially love stories about a happy, peaceful life. Maybe it's because life is already so exhausting.
