Underrated Romance: Engaging and Free of Tired Tropes
Are There Stories Where the Female Lead Has an Ordinary Family Background and Ordinary Looks?
Someone who's ordinary in every way but never feels inferior, then meets a male lead who pursues them relentlessly. But they're so different that they end up with a sad ending. A happy ending is fine too! Please!
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 ╯﹏╰
Fiction That Feels Close to Real Life
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?
Realistic Romance Novels, No CEOs or the Like
Angsty youth novels are fine too, like Fu Shouer's "Youth Is a Hasty Book".
Stories With an Ordinary Female Lead
I really want to read a romance novel with a universally adored heroine who's average-looking but has an extraordinary personality!! They're so hard to find, ahhh!
Looking for Powerful-Family Romance Like Jing Luo and Jing Xue Wei Yang, With a Heroine Who Isn’t Too Greedy
Looking for something like A Fine Lady No More in Jingluo.
Any Down-to-Earth Stories? Nothing With Over-the-Top Pampering
Any Stories with an Ordinary Heroine, Average Looks but Great Charm or Bearing?
I’m tired of stories where every female lead is gorgeous, and I’m tired of female leads from ridiculously wealthy families, too. I just want an inspiring girl’s love story. Angst is fine, too~
Even an Ordinary, Unremarkable Girl Deserves to Be Loved
An ordinary, average female lead. She's not a saint or a fake innocent, and has no golden finger. She's very relatable, and she has the same worries I do.
Modern Workplace Stories
Looking for books like First Love, Don't Say Goodbye! Both leads come from ordinary families and work hard to build successful careers on their own. They also have a happy married life, without melodrama or excessive angst. Something with a gentle, cozy feel.
Any Well-written Contemporary Romances with a Sensible Plot and Sound Values?
Modern romance novels with good writing.
Great Workplace Novels
Looking for some urban workplace novels.
Looking for Hong Kong Stories. I Love It When the Male Lead Speaks Cantonese
I want to read something like Tonight, It Rains Over Hong Kong Island..
Looking for Novels with a Career-Savvy Protagonist
For example: Zhang San warns, “That’s a real crime, cuff-worthy, and you’re headed for a sentence.”
The Female Lead Is a Sweet, Gentle Ordinary Person, and the Male Lead Has a Powerful Background, But She Doesn't Know It
Historical or modern romance is fine, but it must be finished, and the male lead should dote on the female lead.
Looking for Stories with a Clear-Headed Heroine Who Attracts the Male Lead
Historical or contemporary, either is fine. Fantasy or nonhuman characters are also welcome. I really like My Blind Concubine, especially because the female lead is so capable, but I don't quite understand how her romantic ups and downs are supposed to play out... Also, I'm hoping to find stories everyone thinks make perfect logical sense.
Any Books With Such a Good Blurb You Can't Wait to Read Them, and Great Values and Writing?
I'm out of books to read. They're all formulaic web novels, and the plots are bizarre for no reason.
Any CEO Romance Where the Male Lead Is Gentle from Beginning to End?

This is my first novel. The concept started around the end of September 2022. At that time, I had been coding on a stand-alone computer for nearly three months. When I was about to write the final chapter, I put it on hold because of my laziness. Two and a half years later, I have almost forgotten all the plots I wrote. One day, on a whim, I picked it up and looked at it again. This was incredible, and two extreme thoughts came to my mind - One is seeing the bad parts: Oh, what did I write before? One is to see the benefits: I am so awesome, I can think of all this! So, I started revising the manuscript hummingly. And in order to prevent me from giving up halfway again, I polished and revised the manuscript while publishing updates. Fortunately, J's obsessive-compulsive disorder allowed me to complete the challenge of myself and successfully completed this first novel. It is said that it was a revision, but in fact the main plot of the story has not changed. What has changed is my state of mind in the past two and a half years. Putting two and a half years into the article seems like a long time span, because that was the five years that the male and female protagonists missed. In fact, the data of this book is very poor. It can be said that it is a mess and has almost no traffic. I know that I have many shortcomings, such as the slow pace of writing, lack of popular elements and refreshing feeling, etc... But I don't like to follow the crowd, and I don't like to follow formulas, so this cannot be corrected overnight. Maybe for me at the moment, having someone read it is the best result. By the way, there are a few readers who are very cute and talkative. They have posted many paragraphs and comments on their own, which is a great encouragement to me. I am very grateful to them, but I also think of what is said on the Internet: In our industry, falling in love with customers is the most taboo thing (bushi) No matter what, I will continue to write the next book, and the next one. At the end of the main text of this novel, there are 31 fans. Compared with the 0 when the novel was first published, there has been improvement. From 0 to 31, give the five points to the 31! I hope it can get better and better, both for me and my readers!
It's really well written, both the writing style and the plot are excellent. Overall, it's very enjoyable to read. I feel like the author must have a lot of life experience. It breaks the traditional "boss boss & little white flower" narrative routine in foreign films, and there are no far-fetched rescues or inexplicable embarrassing scenes. Although there is a CEO, most of the plot can be touched in real life. Especially the mother in the heroine's family, the part where mother and daughter get along is so realistic... Every time I see it, I have the illusion of seeing my own mother, and I almost got PTSD several times.
The heroine's character is very full and three-dimensional, I like this sense of reality
A very nice book, the plot is realistic and the three views are very correct.
Looks good, looks good, looks good.
It's great to watch, I hope the plot can maintain its status later on.
It's pretty good and attractive, but there are too few updates and it's not enough to watch 🤭
It makes you want to take a breath and read it. Highly recommended.
This book gives people a sense of moisturizing and silent comfort. I like it very much and it is very beautiful.
I feel this score is a bit low.
