The Golden Phoenix Isn't a Chicken

Urban Slice-of-Life, Realistic and Immersive, with Vivid, Believable Writing

No transmigration, cultivation, fantasy, or whatever else. I want something real: grounded in everyday life, with sincere emotions that resonate.

Feel-Good Stories That Stay Close to Reality!!

I'd like something grounded in reality, but with a sensible premise. It can bend reality a little, and preferably have a System. Stock trading and family infighting would be great, followed by the realization that the protagonist can't measure up to the male lead. Please recommend me some books, experts!!!

Everyday Urban Life, No System, No Do-Gooder, No Showing Off, One Heroine

Any Laid-Back Everyday-Life Stories with a Wife?

An urban or historical setting.

Stories Closely Based on Real Life or Personal Experiences

Are there any novels with really good prose that are almost exactly like real life?

Urban Fiction

I'm looking for some urban novels, like Ye Lingtian and Li Yuxin, or Xia Meng and Han Dong. The protagonist shouldn't have supernatural powers or cultivate immortality, and shouldn't be pretending to be poor either. Ideally, the books should be long. Thanks!

Looking for books like *This Family*.

Ideally, the story would offer some guidance for real life. Are there any works like this? Plenty of recommendations, please.
