Love Comes After Marriage

Realistic Romance Novels, No CEOs or the Like

Angsty youth novels are fine too, like Fu Shouer's *Youth Is a Hasty Book*.

The Hero and Heroine Are Normal People! Normal People!!

Are there no normal people on Tomato Novel?! No yanderes! No brooding types! No jealous possessive types! No violent types! No idiots!! Just give me some normal people with solid values 🥹

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 ╯﹏╰

Please, I Need Age-Gap Romance Stories

An older brother or older sister is fine. The bigger the age gap, the better.

Looking for Contemporary Urban Fiction About Everyday Life, Grounded and Close to Reality!

Stories Closely Based on Real Life or Personal Experiences

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

Any Down-to-Earth Stories? Nothing With Over-the-Top Pampering

Looking for Urban Life Novels That Feel Close to Reality

The Political Establishment, Politics, Romance, Family, and Real Life

Looking for books similar to *Falling for the Male Boss*. The story begins when the male lead, a deputy mayor, tries to curry favor with a bureau chief by sending the newly hired heroine to his home. And so begins a story of politics, love, and family. I usually can't stand novels told from a single perspective, but I actually finished this one.

Older Man and Young Woman Romance, with a Realistic Feel

Hey, everyone, Zuo Luo and Boss Shi have already read this one! No need to recommend it again. (Sneaking in a question: are there any stories where the male lead is aloof and chaste, but has been plotting to win the female lead over for ages? 👀👀)

Older-Man Romance With a Huge Age Gap

The male lead's son invites the female lead to his dad's place for a class reunion. The other classmates make their own way there, but the female lead's car breaks down on the road, where she runs into the male lead, setting off a series of events. The male lead is divorced, and his son is from his previous marriage. (Note: the male lead's son is the same age as the female lead.)

Powerful Families, Age Gap, and a Fatherly Boyfriend

Any Realistic Romance Novels With a Calm, Everyday Feel?

I don't want wealthy-family stories or some kind of golden finger. I want something grounded in real life, unforgettable, and well written. The plot shouldn't move too fast, but it should be vivid and engaging, with an original storyline. Could some lovely fairy please grace me with a recommendation? I'm seriously out of things to read.

Stories About Powerful Families

A big difference in status between the male and female leads: he comes from a powerful official's family, while she comes from an ordinary family.

The Hero Personally Helps the Heroine Fight Palace Intrigue and Loves Her Unconditionally!!!!
