Novels I'll Keep Forever
So sweet it hurts, and both leads are each other's first and only.
Any More Sophisticated Romance Novels?
No love at first sight, online romances, or lightning-fast relationships!! The writing must be good, no beginner-level amateur prose!! The protagonists need to have brains. Do not give me angsty romances!!!
Any Books Like Sour Plum or Pain Worship by Huang San?

Looking for Angsty Romance Novels
I’m out of things to read. All novels these days feel like copies of each other, and they’re so boring. I just want a novel that really hits me emotionally, one that’s devastating and heartbreaking. Any recommendations?
Pure Love and Romantic Tension Recommendations
I want to read something like "Out of Control Again". The violent vomiting in the bathroom can't hide how physically and mentally exhausted they are. There's a 20,000-yuan shortfall in medical expenses, a one-week deadline before the payment is overdue, and the hospital is about to halt the mother's treatment. On one side is a critically ill loved one; on the other, the desperation of having nothing.

Wen Zhao is a girl with a strong and kind core. In her childhood, she was like a little sun, illuminating Xie Chengyuan. During her adolescence, she experienced various upheavals, but she persevered thanks to her strong inner strength, maintaining her kindness even when facing those who brought her hardship.
I've been quietly following this author, and this is my first time reading a dual-narrative story. I was surprised by how good it was. The writing style is straightforward and simple, without any fancy words, and it's even better than before. (This is the second author I've followed. I initially started reading Tomato's works because of Love Letter, but now he's getting better and better.
Every book by Xixi is incredibly good, and her writing is superb. From "Jing Xue" in 2023 to "A Lamp Breaks Through the Darkness" in 2025, she has brought us many wonderful stories that feel like stories about people we know. Every character is vivid and engaging, and every couple experiences both regret and happiness. I hope they all have happy endings and get what they want. I hope Xixi continues writing and brings us more wonderful stories 💕💕💕, every book is worth reading!
This is absolutely, utterly, incredibly good! I haven't read a novel this good in a long time. Everything about it is spot-on. It's so meticulously crafted. I love how the two characters harbor feelings for each other but restrain themselves from crossing that line. The interwoven narrative style is unique and logical.
I absolutely love the stories of Zhao Zhao and Xiao Xie! I've read every book written by this author, and her writing is truly superb. I love every single one of them; investing in her books is definitely worthwhile! I want to shout out here (Lu Xixi, I'm your true fan, I love you so much!) ❤️❤️❤️
Wow, every time I finish reading your book, I feel like I have no substitute for Tomato Channel!! Compared to the adult storyline that hasn't even started yet, I've already shipped her with just a few chapters about her childhood. The soft and obedient little Wen Zhao x her seemingly clean and cool but actually opinionated and arrogant older brother. It's just that the soft and obedient little Wen Zhao was later lost. I hope that in the long years, Xie Chengyuan will definitely bring her back.
Wen Zhao & Xie Chengyuan The two, seeking mutual redemption, met as children at Nanhu Lake. Separated in their teens, Zhao Zhao's first crush on Xie Chengyuan was evident in her diary entries and paintings, all reflecting her affection for him. Later, they reunited abroad, their interactions marked by mutual support, arguments, and hurtful words.
Teacher Xixi's writing is amazing! ٩(๑^O^๑)۶ The plot is delicate, and the characters are well-developed. A story of mutual redemption ❤️ Super good, please update soon! ٩(๑^O^๑)۶ I don't hoard books; I checked my last book's updates every day. I didn't expect this one to be updated continuously so far. Isn't that fantastic? 🤩😘😘😘
Keep it up, author! I support you! 😘😘 Actually, I'm a huge fan of *Love Letter*, and a staunch advocate of the "Yaoyao" school of literature. I think you must be an exceptionally talented person in real life; your writing is always very insightful, and the characters truly resonate with and influence us readers. Grateful to have met you, Happy National Day, and best wishes to the author for all the best! 😘 I support you in continuing to bring us surprises.
West Da's third book, as good as ever. It's so great to see such writing on Taobao. I promised myself I wouldn't follow the serialization after finishing Love Letter, but I couldn't resist! [Please update more frequently!] It must have a happy ending!
