May the Gardenia Bring You Peace

High School Campus Novels

School setting, secret crush.

Short Stories, 10–30 Chapters!!! Super Sweet and Romantic

Short Stories: The Short Story Section Is Gone, and There Are No More Books to Read

School stories or wealthy-family stories are both fine.

Novels That Feel Very Real and Reflect Real Society

I’m sick of stories that are too brainless and idealistic. I want something more realistic.

Sweet! Sweet! Sweet! Sweet! Sweet! I’m Begging for Sweet Romance!

The kind that is sweet enough to kill you.

Complete, Short, Sweet, and Easy-to-Read Novels With No Angst

Completed novels with 60 to 150 chapters, lots of sweetness, no angst, and good reread value.

Any Warm, Slow-Burning Novels?

I'm really in the mood for this kind of story right now. Ideally, not too much scheming or melodrama. Please, I'm begging you!!!

A Sweet Bedtime Read You Can Finish Before Sleep, Sugary Sweet

Looking for books similar to "Where the Gardenia Falls". An intensely sweet short story with a super-fast pace. From around chapter ten to the end, it's all dream material. I'll recommend one dream-worthy story first.

I’m a Simple Reader. Looking for Love-at-First-Sight Stories

I Want a Slow-Burning, Gradual-Build Kind of Story 😭

Looking for books similar to And We Shall Sing of the Right Time. I want a slow-burn relationship, preferably a slow-burn romance that starts after marriage. Nothing involving long-planned schemes, car accidents, amnesia, or taking a blade for someone. Ideally, the lover is the guiding, supportive type!

Any Low-Key Novels Focused on Everyday Life?

No System, and not too much face-slapping.

Super Sweet, No Angst, Sugary Sweet From Start to Finish

Any Sweet, Fluffy Stories with a Slow, Steady Romance?

Short, Sweet, Fluffy, and Complete

Something relatively short, without melodramatic plot twists, where both the male and female leads are popular with others. Keep it short, too! No Mary Sue aura or anything like that!!!

Short Stories That Are Sweet from Beginning to End

Short stories that are sweet from start to finish, with lots of fluff and no angst.

Slow-Burn Romance Novels

Any Particularly Realistic Novels?

Looking for novels that feel more realistic.

Strong Prose, No Clichés, No Wish Fulfillment, and a Male Lead Who Isn't Smug and Flippant, Cold on the Outside And...

Strong writing, no melodrama, no wish fulfillment. The male lead isn't a joker, and is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Traditional xianxia, fantasy, rebirth, or urban fiction. Tragedy and angst are welcome. I'm that messed up.
