Wealthy CEO Romance
I'm getting sick of campus novels lately. Please recommend some wealthy-family CEO romances. No melodrama! Something fresh! The heroine must not enter the entertainment industry! (Seriously, nine out of ten CEO romances have the heroine entering showbiz these days.) No rebirth! (I'm so sick of it!) A little angst is fine!!!

Are There Really No High-Quality Women’s Fiction Books Anymore?
Looking for books similar to "Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty of a Villainous Cannon Fodder". I’m so frustrated.

I hope someone can recommend some fast-paced, high-quality stories with no romance. No number one...

The Five Surnames and Seven Great Clans: Marriages Between Aristocratic Families
I want stories about the love and hate among powerful aristocratic clans: the Five Surnames and Seven Great Clans, who only marry into other great clans and don't take the imperial family seriously. Don't recommend those useless stories where the Five Surnames and Seven Great Clans are wiped out in a single stroke. The clans the imperial family fears should be as impossible to stamp out as cockroaches.
A True Heiress from a Prestigious Family: Smart, Dignified, Good-Natured, and Not a Saintly Doormat
The writing has to be good. I really can't read anything with immature writing.
Books with 600,000+ Current Readers, at the Very Least 550,000
At least around 600,000 words! If it’s shorter, don’t add it even if you like it, thanks (*'▽'*)♪ I had a quick look, and there are very few stories over a million words, so 600,000 should give us a much wider selection.

His heart always flutters a step later than mine. This type is so captivating! Youth is wasted if you don't live it to the fullest; youth should not be wasted on those who are young. Having loved, resented, tasted sweetness, and felt pain, the greatest responsibility we can take to ourselves is to avoid regrets in life. As human beings, we are never short of regrets, and regrets are also the most painful. What amazes me most is Weiwei's courage to love and hate so intensely!
🥺🥺🥺It's so good! Everything we see is from the female lead's perspective, so Zhengzheng has always been wonderful in her eyes. I really love the slightly conflicted and bittersweet relationship between Zhenzhen; the author describes it so well! 🥺🥺
It's really beautiful! Whether it's the childhood sweetheart or the new love interest, the ambiguous entanglement between him and the female lead really resonated with me. The writing is also excellent, the narration is well-structured, and it's not the kind of filler story. The plot line remains clear throughout, it's truly a great read! I will definitely continue to follow the updates!
I've caught up with the lead so far, so here's a summary: It's well-written! Points of contention: The male lead has had many ambiguous relationships with women or nominal girlfriends? But were they all women who pursued him? Were there no real relationships? The female lead likes her childhood sweetheart, but they can't be together, so she's had three boyfriends.
Without comparison, there's no harm done, but the female lead's character arc in this book feels incredibly real. I gradually grew to like her as I read; the writing is delicate yet not drawn out. The atmosphere and setting are also excellent. And I'm totally shipping Shi and Xi! Ahhh... Keep it up, author! I feel like I've discovered a gem of an author! Hehe ('▽')
It's excellent, very enjoyable, and a 9-point rating is well-deserved. The story is fast-paced and engaging, with a complete plot. Most importantly, it kept me engrossed. The male lead is intelligent and decisive, pursuing his love passionately without hesitation. Compared to the second male lead, he's better—less conflicted and less indecisive.
This is one of the few books I really like from Yangshizi. It's not a traditional romance novel; it aligns with modern values. It doesn't forgive Xu too easily, and it doesn't betray the fifteen-year-old Xi.
So what is love? It must be a two-way street. This is a story about friendship, family, and love. Four childhood friends in a compound share a deep bond that reaches the female protagonist's very limits. This deep friendship also leads to "a wondrous love story." The childhood sweethearts, once the most promising couple in the compound, eventually drifted apart in a daze.
It's a rare find to read a book with a logically sound plot, a winding story without being overly dramatic or melodramatic. The female lead is outspoken, but her emotional entanglements (friendship or love) are difficult to unravel, which is why Xi and Xu have some complicated relationships.
I've only read up to chapter 26, so I probably won't read any further. The way the male lead is introduced isn't bad, but I'm not a big fan of this kind of character setup, although it does fit the description of him as a "madman" in the synopsis. So far, I still prefer the childhood sweetheart.
