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 ╯﹏╰

Stories With a Strong-Willed Female Lead Who Always Loves Herself Most
① The female lead has her own career and goals beyond romance. ② She has a few men for fun, but they must be clean. ③ Among the side characters who get face-slapped, there should be more men than women. ④ Ideally, the ending has no CP, or is open-ended and gives everyone a home. ⑤ No misogynistic content.

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.

I don't understand the Tomato scoring criteria, why the score is so low. This novel is very interesting. It has some deep analysis of human nature that is worth pondering. It is not a superficial boss falling in love with me literature. If you are a bird, I'm a bird, the author's understanding of this sentence also touched me very much. I have also read another book by the author, Secretary Qiu's Marriage. It is also well written and the author is very talented.
Alas, this is too much! The author has spoiled my taste, and I can no longer read other books 🤭, the writing is so good. Little Sweetness in Reality, each heroine in the author's works has her own characteristics, but they are all sober and independent, and deserve to meet excellent ones. Recommend all other books by the author.
Be yourself rather than an affiliate, own yourself and go on bravely. This is my biggest feeling after reading the whole book. The love in this book is not deep enough, and it feels like the male protagonist just lacks love. Like in other dramas, the female protagonist is not indispensable. So I had feelings instead. Really, if you bloom, butterflies will come naturally. And after the heroine has enough finances and confidence, the negative aspects of the heroine's family disappear. But it's not actually the author's failure. But it is indeed like this, so real. So after I read the second book, I want to say that I will keep looking for myself. Be happy, as if every day is the last day of peace and happiness.
After reading "Secretary Qiu's Marriage" written by this author, I looked for the author's book to read. The second one was by some substitute teacher, and this book is the third. I can't stand the other novels on Tomato. Thank you to this author for saving me from my book shortage. This book is very similar to the substitute teacher's book about the family fighting background, as well as the greed and darkness of human nature. They are all in the same series. They are relatively similar. The heroines are all independent and self-reliant sober characters. This author is a realist. It is undeniable that the greed and darkness of human nature exist, but I think there is also the beauty and glory of humanity in real life. Just like the warmth that the heroine gives Liu Yan, I hope the author can highlight this part more. I looked at all the reviews displayed, and they were basically five stars. How come the rating was only 7.9? How strange. I give this book 9.3 Points
It's very interesting. The author expresses his outlook on life between the lines. This is the second book I've read by the author. I feel that the writing style has improved. It's great. She worked very hard to tell a story about how despite the evil people in society, there is true love between people.
I have read four of the author's novels in the past two days. They are quite interesting. The characters are very three-dimensional and a bit realistic. It turns out that the author is the same as Secretary Qiu's Marriage. I have always liked this type of writing before. The big novels peel off human nature, are evil, and also have a glimmer of hope. People can survive from desperate situations. People can't help but delve into it.
It's really good. I read it in one sitting in one day. The content is so exciting that I don't want to stop. This is the fourth book I have read by the author. It is realistic and good-looking. I really can't stand reading Silly White Sweet Boss. If you fall in love with the author, you will find that you really want to read every one of her books in one day. They teach women to be independent and rely on others rather than relying on themselves. The family world of the boss is not that easy, and the boss himself is more often busy and empty.
I have read 4.5 Of the author's books and I still have more to say. I really like supporting the author's values. He uses delicate and vivid writing to write stories that seem to be happening around him without losing the artistic color. I feel the author's respect for the readers. I also feel the author's thinking about each character and the logical arrangement of each story frame. I really like the author's perspective. Support ❤️
I have only read a little bit of this book. I can feel the vividness of the characters written by the author. Everyone will have desires and make mistakes, but so what, those who will not die will have a chance to live well. Leaving is fate, so is meeting.
I really like the author of this book. I have read 3 of them. I love every story. It is really realistic. Maybe not many people read it and it is not very popular, but those who notice it will be conquered by the author's writing style. I look forward to more works from the author and hope that the author will become popular.
