The female lead can be the heroine or a female villain. The male lead should be timid and bind himself to the female lead. Preferably no System, though a System is acceptable.

This is the book I've been dreaming of! Of all the regret-filled stories on Douyin (TikTok), this is exactly the type I've been looking for. It's not the kind where the protagonist transmigrates and is reborn and then goes on a killing spree, nor is it the kind that drags on and on. The protagonist has his own sound values; he's neither a pushover nor a completely evil person. He accepts benefits when they come his way, and whether he actually does the work is another matter.
The structure is well-organized, highlighting the characteristics of a fast-paced, enjoyable story. The good balance makes it a rare gem. While not overly calculated, the story effectively conveys its central message. Later sections could transcend the structure to increase difficulty, but the development process should avoid highlighting any plot holes.
It's very well written, a classic example of a story where the author gets their comeuppance—specifically, the author, not the protagonist. Some parts of the story involve the protagonist becoming friends with the main character, though they don't have much screen time 😏.
For the blond-haired guy, a story of regret is a satisfying read. Multiple female leads + system + fantasy.
I randomly listened to an audiobook and it was surprisingly good! The male lead is strong yet carefree, and importantly, he doesn't abandon the story—that's very important. It reverses the typical regret-reversal trope, which is quite interesting. It gives the feeling of a male-oriented novel powerfully countering the invasion of female-oriented novels, hehe.
This is a female-oriented novel that subverts conventional tropes. So far, I haven't seen any major flaws in the 50 chapters. Overall, the plot is quite humorous and quirky, with a touch of chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur). After reading so many female-oriented novels about chasing after one's husband or regretting one's decision, reading this one feels refreshingly different. It feels like this is exactly how it should be written.
I was originally going to watch Liu Ruyan and Ji Bochang's crazy daily work routine on Douyin, but this is more captivating. I love it! So far, there are no downsides; everyone gets what they're supposed to eat, and there are no scenes where the main characters suffer. It's good, I love watching it. Since I'm broke, I can only send short video gifts. Author, please continue with this abstract style; readers will do anything!
Rather than seeking revenge after being wronged, it's better to experience sweetness first and then sweetness all the way through.
Surprisingly, it's pretty good. Too many male-oriented novels only make the ex (wife, girlfriend, childhood sweetheart, or the one you loved) regret it at the beginning, but this one, my friend, weaves together various elements from both male and female genres, enhancing the story and making it readable.
After reading a few of the author's posts, I feel like this kind of story is most likely a female-oriented regret story with logical plot points 🤦🤦 Just follow the outline. There are urban regret stories, cultivation regret stories, all kinds of regret stories. Cultivation isn't a big problem, just follow the outline 😏
