Male-Oriented Stories with Multiple Heroines, but Not Too Many
I’m looking for male-oriented stories with a well-written romance. Fantasy, urban cultivation, anything is fine. I hope there aren’t too many heroines, two or three is enough. In some harem stories, the heroine only exists to increase the size of the hero’s harem. She’s just a useless, pretty prop.

Blind but wise parents, a loving uncle's family, a roommate and older brother who are like brothers, and a young man striving forward. Full of positive energy.
Having read the reviews and learned it was written by the author of "Born Towards the Sun," I decided to give it a try. Xiang Jie's writing style is as excellent as ever; this book is definitely worth reading. The only pity is that she wrote so little after achieving fame and success; it wasn't enough.
I love the author's gentle and engaging storytelling, and I admire the protagonist's resilience and ambition. I'm eager to know the ending. Best wishes to the author.
The author truly excels at writing, using a gentle, narrative style to vividly portray the struggles of a poor young man striving for himself and his parents. It's a story of resilience and hope, a journey towards the light. I thought the story would end after he graduated from university.
This book is about a protagonist who strives to live a positive and upward-looking life, determined to change his fate through his unwavering spirit of hard work. Focusing on the male protagonist, it reflects the hardships and diverse aspects of life at the bottom of society, showcasing the ordinary goodness and beauty of the common people.
Although some plot points are unrealistic, it is precisely because of the cruelty and helplessness of real life that the kindness of the characters and the protagonist's grace in the novel evoke goodwill and provide positive energy for life, warming hearts that have grown cold in reality. It's very well written.
Born to face the sun, I really enjoy reading these kinds of novels; they make it easy for me to calm down and think. I quite like Jiang You, but I also like Wu Mei. It's so difficult.
Having read so many books over the years, this one truly feels real and captivating. I often abandon many books halfway through, but I could easily read another 500,000 words of this one. I hope more book lovers will discover this book. I'm off to find other great books now, haha!
It's really wonderful; it's been a long time since I've been able to sit down and read a book so attentively. Children without umbrellas must run even harder; umbrellas will come, and so will bread, love, and friendship. But Jiang's story is truly heartbreaking; I love it so much.
I really enjoyed reading this book. The male protagonist is down-to-earth, poor and ordinary. Life is tough, but he never gives up his inner kindness and his persistence in pursuing a better life. He lives his life diligently and earnestly, becoming a warm light.
