Looking for Realistic Marriage Stories, Nothing Too Far-Fetched or Overly Sweet

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 ╯﹏╰

Stories That Feel Realistic and Aren't Over the Top. Heartbreak Is Fine, Too

I want a plot that isn't cliched. No naive, sweet heroines who go blank in the head and are helpless against flirting the moment they meet the male lead. Also, don't spend too much time describing the leads' looks.

Realistic Romance Novels, No CEOs or the Like

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

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!!!

Stories Closely Based on Real Life or Personal Experiences

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

Novels Close to Reality
