Looking for a Love That Feels Suffocatingly Intense
I want a male-female lead pairing or two female leads, with a suffocatingly intense yandere character. Nothing brainless or illogical.

Looking for a Harem-Loving Protagonist Novel
I'm looking for something like *After Transmigrating into a Book, the Socially Anxious Girl Became Everyone's Favorite*. I remember a novel that began with the heroine attending a banquet with her fiancé. Four rich CEOs secretly watched her from upstairs. It was also a story about a fake heiress and a real heiress, and the heroine was adored by everyone.

It's very interesting. I have never seen this theme before. I like both Lao Shen and Ah Si, but the introduction says that Ah Si died in the snowy field. I really don't want him to die. I really like the gentle and jade-like character.
As a creator, looking back at the story triangle of Shen Guhong, Bai Ran and Jiang Bin, what I write is not a simple battle for love, but the interweaving, collision and final reconciliation of three life states. Jiang Bo is the sun that never sets in Bai Ran's heart. He represents the most ideal form of love: pure, warm and unreserved. His existence sets the pathos of the entire story. His passing not only caused Bairan to lose her love, but also caused the collapse of her entire girlhood and trust in the beautiful world. When creating him, I deliberately let him stay in the most perfect moment - solidifying into an eternal statue in the heavy snow. He is like a huge gravitational field, always pulling Bairan's emotions and memories. He is Bai Ran's indelible past, and he is also the mountain that Shen Guhong must face and surpass. His "perfection" is deliberately placed in the extra chapter, which is a kind of compensation for the tragic aesthetics, and also tells readers that some good things, even if they fall in the main story, are worthy of being tenderly treasured in another time and space. Bairan is a traveler wandering under the moonlight. She's the growing character I've written the most about. Coming from the wind and snow in Jiang Country, her heart had died with Jiang Bo. She was traumatized and incomplete when she re-entered the Liang Dynasty. Her feelings for Shen Guhong are mixed with dependence, guilt, resistance and unconscious heartbeat. The process is full of struggle and self-doubt. Her arc lies in "acceptance": first, she accepts Jiang Bin's death as an unchangeable past, then she accepts her true and passionate feelings for Shen Guhong, and finally she accepts her complete self who loves both Jiang Bin and Shen Guhong deeply. She connects past and present, sun and light. Her choice is not to "forget" anyone, but to "bravely move toward a new future with all her memories."
It's so beautiful. What should I do? I really like Jiang Bin and can't bear to see him die [crying] [crying] Bai Ran and Jiang Bo are so sweet. The author's writing style is also very good. Be sure to keep updating [Blow Kiss][Blow Kiss]
Nice! I like Jiang Bo very much! Jiang was so crazy and excited when he came forward for the heroine! Chase on time every day! It's really beautiful! Mainly, Lao Shen is also doing well in the later period (。•̀ᴗ-) ok Si is also good! I really want to see the heroine have a harem◍˃ᵕ˂◍
I am a person who both loves and hates and wants to be dramatic, so when I read books, I like Shen Guhong. I like his attitude towards love, his ambiguity in the early stage, his obsessiveness in the middle stage, and his infatuation in the later stage. I like his control over power, his wanton behavior with the absolute love of his family, and his publicity and restraint. Jiang Bo was very good, and I shed tears for his final departure, but I still skipped reading as much as possible, and stopped reading the extra chapters after them. Although I understand the psychology of the heroine who says "I will be attracted by whoever is considerate around me", I also like Shen Guhong more. He is so flamboyant in every appearance in the early stage, and so heart-wrenching in the later stage. From the sarcasm at the first encounter to the emotion at the end, whether it is love or the world, Shen Guhong goes all out, leaves no regrets, sweeps the world, cherishes his family, promotes talents, and strives for perfection in everything. But you want to say that the reading experience has always been good? No. Secret love is a person's chaos. When you like a character, his joys and sorrows are yours. In the days when Shen Guhong was unable to love, in the cool breeze of Shen Guhong's lovesickness, in the days and nights when Shen Guhong ruled the world, I seemed to be the transparent person next to him, watching him hangover, watching him frown, watching him lovesick, watching him tap the table lightly, watching him write the only "Shen's Diary" that belongs to him. It's so good that those unknown secrets that were tossed and turned were kept in my heart and written on paper, and finally became the evidence of my love, hot and ironing. Unintentional planting will make a shadow, loving people is the "special skill" of the Shen family, so everyone in the Shen family has someone to love, and everyone has a lover. All the anxiety and uneasiness finally came to me in my home country under the full moon, and I was in harmony and beautiful, so my "emotional wounds" were also healed. Although my heart is broken, my heart is still the same, and Shen Guhong is still happy, which is good. I like the author's writing style, and I also like Shen Guhong. Five-star praise
It's really beautiful, but I can't bear to see Jiang Bin die [almost crying] [almost crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] I also want to give some suggestions to the author. The logic can be clearer and more prudent. The heroine disguises herself as a man and acts as a hostage. The heroine's parents should tell her some precautions in advance. And since the heroines are all disguised as men, they must speak in a male-oriented manner, and some words like "mother" seem a bit abrupt and modern. I have absolutely no other intention, just to give you some opinions.
It's a good watch, but I was actually a little hesitant to continue following it because I was a little bit a little bit into the early plot (I've watched it too much, and to be honest, it's just too popular), but I read the comments and was still attracted to it. When I saw the back, I had to chase after him. The three protagonists all made me feel quite sad. Regarding the final ending, I am still worried about the ending (problems with emotional processing [almost crying]). As it turns out, my worries were unfounded. The author is very good at writing. [Blows a kiss] It's beautiful and worth recommending. A bit sadistic. But the extra ending is still satisfying ٩(๑^o^๑)۶
It's super good-looking, and it's worth it. I wait for updates every day. My favorite is Ah Si, the best one. Although Lao Shen is also very good at it😏, the ending is doomed early on, but I feel happy and sad while watching the process. The author's words express emotions so delicately. I like it very much.
I like Ah Si, all the tears in the book are dedicated to him! He is as gentle as a jade ceiling! He loved the heroine super invincibly. His love was not about possessing her, but about arranging all escape routes. In the end, he died in the heavy snow, and it was hard to calm down! Old Shen is also very good, he is a growth type, he was really a jerk at the beginning, but later he really changed for love and for the heroine. In the end, he unified the seven kingdoms and brought back the beauty. Prince Daliang deserves it! The beginning and the end echo each other, and the two scenes span more than ten years. It's really touching!
This is the best book I have ever read, the one that best understands what love is and how to love. Even if there is no male protagonist, it is very, very healing and very very redemptive. You really know how to love each other. I think it is a very, very good book that can be watched as a TV series. It is the first time I give it a five-star rating. The heroine has too much love, I don't like it
