Living Apart

Mature Writing (Careful Word Choice, Logical Plot, Immersive, and Well-Written)

The Hero and Heroine Are Normal People! Normal People!!

Are there no normal people on Tomato Novel?! No yanderes! No brooding types! No jealous possessive types! No violent types! No idiots!! Just give me some normal people with solid values 🥹

Looking for Stories About Ordinary People Falling in Love

Any recommendations for realistic novels where both leads are ordinary people, not geniuses or rich heirs, and both their parents are still alive?

Realistic, Truly Urban Fiction

Something like The Twenty-Six-Year-Old Tenant.

Recommend a Great Book for Middle-Aged and Older Readers!

A good realistic novel, The Bumpy Life of a Young Man from the Mountains, which is very suitable for older readers.

Novels That Are a Little More Realistic

The female lead has been deeply hurt by her family, then the male lead comes along and brings warmth into her life.

Ordinary Life, With Down-to-Earth Leads and Everyday Warmth

Looking for a Story with an Ordinary Female Lead, Something Along Those Lines...

Looking for books similar to Rational Obsession.

Any Down-to-Earth Stories? Nothing With Over-the-Top Pampering

Looking for Realistic Marriage Stories, Nothing Too Far-Fetched or Overly Sweet

Everyday life, realistic views on marriage, a couple working together, marital conflicts, careers, family, children, and mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships. Keep it realistic, please. No wealthy-family romances; they feel too far-fetched.

Realistic Romance Novels, No CEOs or the Like

Angsty youth novels are fine too, like Fu Shouer's *Youth Is a Hasty Book*.

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?
