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 ╯﹏╰

Highly Recommended Novels by Yu Buyu
I got into reading through *One Sheng Has Good News*. After that, I read *Ace Female Special Assistant* and then *I’ve Loved You for So Long* (*Possessive Jiang Xi*). They were amazing.

Any Good Novels with Two Female Leads?
Something with great writing and a good plot
Any Worthwhile Romance Novels with a Levelheaded Female Lead, Solid Logic, and No Naive Goody-Two-Shoes?
Looking for good romance novels with coherent, logical plots. I don't want unrealistic stories where the male lead's company somehow accounts for 65% of the world economy. The female lead shouldn't be a naive, simpering doormat or a scheming two-faced social climber. She should be a woman with a mind of her own.
The One and Only 9.9-Rated Masterpiece
Looking for books like The End of Ten Days. It's the only 9.9-rated novel on Tomato, so its quality speaks for itself 😏. Even though it's a male-oriented novel, it really doesn't feel like one, and it's totally fine for women to read. I've already gotten several people in my class hooked on it.

From "Secretary Qiu's Marriage". I saw such good writing in Tomato, so I talked about it. It is not an ordinary prose, but a book that makes people feel comfortable reading it. So I searched for the author for the first time in my life, and then read his second book. This book is thicker than Secretary Qiu's Marriage. The wisdom of the world comes from the eloquent talk. I am a person who likes to skip reading and rarely can finish reading a book, but I am very patient. I finished reading the whole book without realizing it. Unconventional. Calm and wise, yet down to earth. [Like][Like][Like]
It's down-to-earth, not a mindless drama about rich, handsome and big CEOs, but the true feelings of the joys and sorrows of little people. I have been reading books on Tomato for a few years, and I have found that the author has found a treasure. Each of his works is a masterpiece that is touching and fascinating. Let's get back to this drama: the plot is compact and the psychological portrayal of the characters is realistic. You can learn a lot about the three positive views. It also warns families that favor sons over daughters to change their thinking. Every child is a potential stock. If love is divided equally, girls will be successful and will be able to live in retirement. Tips for young people: If you love someone, cherish it and don't be a mama's boy. Don't regret it when you lose it. No one will always be waiting for you. There is no perfect journey in life. Reading more stories adds a lot of experience. Be grateful to live a healthy life. Be grateful to everyone who is with you. Be content and happy!
The author's skill in writing urban essays is one of the best in Tomato! So pretty! The two heroines are actually group portraits, not black and white characters, and have very full personalities. Among the characters, Rodin moved me the most. I also work in engineering. The difficulties faced by many women, as well as the people and things they encounter, are similar in reality. I hope both Rodin and I can do better and better in male-dominated jobs!
The ending is a bit abrupt. It's a masterpiece, it's true enough. As the saying goes, happy families are always similar, and unhappy families have their own misfortunes. Every person and every family in this book is suffering. There are constant disputes and conflicts, and life grows up as a family, parents, children, friends, couples, and couples. Everyone suffers. The contradiction between parents' desire for control and children's autonomy is irreconcilable. The Luo family is a typical patriarchal family. Luo Dan's parents were fine when they were young, but when they are old, they are worse than their grandparents. Luo Jia has been fighting and staying awake. Luo Dan is like an elephant tied by a rope, without the courage to fight. She always needs someone by her side, no matter how hard she is to help her, accompany her, or push her, Jiahui, An Bin, and Yin Song always have one. Jiahui has very few scenes in the later period, but Jiahui is really miserable. There are so many hard-working people, but every choice she makes makes her slip into a deeper abyss. Selling yourself for a living, being dragged into a fight with a scumbag, and fighting for nothing, it was too miserable and cruel. The scumbag man and his father are also winners in life. . Jiahui's mother is really pitiful and hateful. The lifelong disability caused by being beaten by old man Xie is indeed pitiful. She wanted to poison her daughter for her son's sake, but ended up hurting herself. Old man Xie is a very naughty person. He is the one who abandons his wife and children, and he is the one who dedicates his life to his children. He is the one who deceives and saves his children. The boss of the Xie family is also a scum. When I was living through hard times, I still looked like a human being, but now that I look back, I look like a human being. This family seems to be like this. In the An family and the Chen family, the woman is extremely controlling and the man pretends to be dead. They control the children at the same time, whitewash the peace, and end up causing chaos. Qingyan is very similar to Anyue, Qingyan is smarter and more hateful. An Bin has ideas and knowledge but is not bold enough. There is resistance but there is no decision, one is sad for one's misfortune and one is angry but one does not fight. Half of their tragedy was An Bin's fault, and the rest was all Ning Jinse's fault. In the Su family, the old couple plots against their children, and eventually the whole family plots against each other. . All in all, this book is worth reading, and it has some depressing and heart-wrenching moments. Full of human kindness and sophistication. . Think of this much first, let's talk about the rest later
The writing is very realistic. Everyone who is capable and ambitious will get along with each other in situations that are beneficial to them at various stages. You cannot say good or evil, right or wrong, you can only adapt to the real environment. Jiahui is Rodin and Yisong. After reading it, I feel that An Bin and Su Man are a pity. Their originally sunny life has been transformed beyond recognition by their own family members. The author also writes about Chinese-style parenting incisively and vividly, with a lot of emotion. Looking forward to the author's masterpieces
The interpretation of human nature allows us to see the realistic side, and we have read most of the author's books. Every book is beautiful and shows human nature vividly. I recommend everyone to read it, even if it's a book with a low score, it's still very interesting!
I like to read the author's articles the most. The heroines in the article all bloom out of the mud. They have a kind of upward vitality, self-esteem and self-love, and constant introspection and learning to make themselves excellent. They are also very transparent in relationships. When they love, they love hard, but they never lose themselves. If I gain something, I will lose my life. I just move forward and never look back. I particularly like Jiahui. No matter how big the difficulties she encounters, she can grit her teeth and stand up, live hard, and find her own goals and path forward. The difficulties she encountered make me feel suffocated just thinking about them. It is hard to imagine that if she had encountered those injuries, she might have been knocked down. I really admire her! The author always conveys a lot of life perspectives and thus gains strength! Like👍 Did the author suffer from patriarchal preference to portray such an image?
I haven't read such a beautiful novel in a long time. Every character is so vivid and vivid. This book is not only about love. Even those who have been reading for 20 years can be attracted by your book! Everyone is pushed forward by the environment they live in... And after the college entrance examination, many people think that they will be settled once and for all after admission, but it is just the beginning of a new student. I have learned how to change majors in a bad employment environment, and many insights and thoughts about life. I have recorded them in a notebook. I will read it again next time... It's really good. I really read the content I like over and over again. I haven't seen such a good novel in a long time...
After reading several books by this author, this book is the most alarming one for girls. Sisters, Jiahui is the price of giving up higher education! Whichever level you stay on, you will be invaded and devoured by the people and things on that level. If you make one wrong step, you will never be able to get rid of it! Jiahui is an opportunity specially left for us girls by readers. If you understand why the author arranged for the smart and beautiful Jiahui's low-level experience, you will know that girls must still work hard to move forward no matter what! No one can be trusted! Study hard when it's time to study, and be sure to go to university. Don't think about taking shortcuts! Sometimes what you think is a shortcut in life is actually a long and thorny journey.
It's super good-looking. It depicts human nature vividly. It's really enjoyable to watch. Family, friendship and love are full of calculations, thinking and love everywhere. Strong and bottom-line men are still very attractive [laughs][laughs]
