Heartbroken, So Angsty. The Male Lead's Devotion Is Just So Painful to Read

Looking for Tragedies, but Not the Idiotic Kind. Keep the Characters’ Values Straight

I don't want angst for the sake of angst. I like stories with sound values that are relatively realistic. Historical or modern settings are both fine, something like He Is in Yunnan and One and Only. My eyes are already swollen from crying...

Heartbreaking Angst, but They Get Back Together in the End

The Leads Are in Love but Have Misunderstandings: An Angsty Romance

Looking for books similar to *A Deeply Devoted Temptation*. The female lead loves the male lead but thinks he has someone else in his heart. He loves her just as much, but thinks she likes the second male lead.

Reunion + Heartache + Getting Back Together

I really love that kind of story: they gradually get together and have a wonderfully sweet time, but split up for various reasons, then meet again years later 😭😭😭 Does anyone have any good recommendations with this kind of premise? 😭

Novels About Poor Heroines Who Stay Confident and Work Hard to Make It on Their Own

I want a female lead who is poor but driven, doesn't get hung up on material things, and has sound values. I don't mind what the male lead is like, but please don't have him swoop in to save her. I'm looking for a story with a truly strong female lead.

Looking for High-Quality Angst 🥹 Thanks!

I’m looking for high-quality tearjerkers you’ve been keeping to yourselves, with characters who have sound values! 🫴!! I want a tragic love story, not a story that tortures the female lead 🥹🥹 No kidney, heart, or lung gouging at the drop of a hat 💦💦 Either a happy or sad ending is fine. I’m begging you for recommendations!

Looking for a Story with an Ordinary Female Lead, Something Along Those Lines...

Looking for books similar to Rational Obsession.

Any Stories with an Ordinary Heroine, Average Looks but Great Charm or Bearing?

I’m tired of stories where every female lead is gorgeous, and I’m tired of female leads from ridiculously wealthy families, too. I just want an inspiring girl’s love story. Angst is fine, too~

A Little Angst Is Good, Lots of Angst Is Fine Too, as Long as It Ends Happily

Something with a more original premise. Short stories are fine, too. Unrequited-love angst is fine as well. A little angst is fun, but too much is heartbreaking!

Powerful Men Bending for Love + Guiding Lovers

Any books like What a Good Girl? I'm completely obsessed with it lately.
