When the Cherry Blossoms Fall, the Evening Breeze Meets the River of Stars

Looking for Stories About Ordinary People Falling in Love

Any recommendations for realistic novels where both leads are ordinary people, not geniuses or rich heirs, and both their parents are still alive?

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!

Looking for Novels with Clear-Headed, Independent Female Leads

I'd like to read books similar to Why Make Others Happy When You Can Make Yourself Happy? For example, Ruoxi from Scarlet Heart, Shangguan Qian from My Journey to You, or the female lead of Why Make Others Happy When You Can Make Yourself Happy? I'm not looking for a story that's purely about a career, nor one that's purely romance.

Any Worthwhile Romance Novels with a Levelheaded Female Lead, Solid Logic, and No Naive Goody-Two-Shoes?

Looking for good romance novels with coherent, logical plots. I don't want unrealistic stories where the male lead's company somehow accounts for 65% of the world economy. The female lead shouldn't be a naive, simpering doormat or a scheming two-faced social climber. She should be a woman with a mind of her own.

Looking for Realistic Love Stories Set in the City

Clear-Headed, Independent Female Lead Who Doesn't Let Romance Rule Her Life

Looking for books like "Disguised Seduction". The female lead should be clear-headed and independent, not lovesick, and know what she wants instead of blindly following others. The writing shouldn't feel too juvenile. If there's a couple, the romance shouldn't be too sappy. The leads should grow together and be understanding of each other.

Any New Books? I'll Give Them Five Stars!

I want to read books like "Myriad Transmigrations: After Turning Into a Phone, I Enjoyed Every Perk". Support new writers and let’s keep each other going. This similar title is actually my own book, so if you can, please give it five stars too ≥﹏≤

Looking for Novels with Mature Characters and Intense Romantic Tension

I'd like to read about adult relationships, weighing the pros and cons, intense push and pull, and clear-headed characters.

Are There Any Books With a Highly Intelligent, Meticulous Heroine Who Plans Every Move?

Looking for books similar to "In the 1960s, I Became the Scheming Female Lead's Stepping Stone". The female lead can suffer, but she must always get revenge. Good writing would be nice, but isn't essential. I just hope the golden finger isn't too overpowered; a little female-lead luck is fine. I still prefer smart female leads.

Novels with Smart Leads That Are Worth Rereading Three Times

Any stories where both the male and female leads are smart, and the plot isn't completely generic?

Any Redemption Stories Where the Female Lead Saves the Male Lead? The More Miserable He Is, the Better!!

Angst, Short, Brutal, Painful

The kind that makes you sob so hard you can't catch your breath, perfect for reading in the middle of the night.

Looking for a Male Lead Who's a Self-Aware Robot

Sophisticated Angst with Smart Characters and a Logical Plot

Looking for books similar to Palace Wall Willow. It doesn’t have to be the kind where the male and female leads must fight to the death, with one of them inevitably dying. There can be national hatred and family feuds separating them, or a divide between righteousness and evil. The story should be logical and reflect the thinking of normal people.

Complete: Short Stories That Will Blow You Away

I’m looking for short stories that really impress. Ideally, the titles should be long, like a whole sentence. For example, The Willow by the Palace Wall, The Day I Died, the Young Master I Loved Married a Bride, He Fell in Love with a Courtesan and Wanted to Support Her for Life, and If the Forest Had a Child…

Two Strong Leads, Sound Values, High Intelligence, and a Story That Never Gets Boring

A Teenage Secret Crush, a Reunion as Adults, and a Crush That Turns Into Open Love

The Female Lead Is Extremely Well-Educated (She Doesn’t Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger)

The male lead is less educated than the female lead and has a crush on her.

Strong Male and Female Leads, Business World, High Intelligence, Modern Novels With Powerful Backgrounds

The Female Lead Is Cool and Rational, Not Love-Brained, but the Male Lead Loves Her Deeply

Looking for Sci-Fi Novels About Artificial Intelligence

Ideally, the protagonist creates their own artificial intelligence.

Looking for a Clear-Headed, Strong Female Lead Focused on Making Money and Building Her Career. Romance Is Fine

Looking for books like Spend Money! Stir Up Trouble! The Female Side Character Owns Tons of Real Estate!

Looking for Stories with a Clear-Headed Heroine Who Attracts the Male Lead

Historical or contemporary, either is fine. Fantasy or nonhuman characters are also welcome. I really like My Blind Concubine, especially because the female lead is so capable, but I don't quite understand how her romantic ups and downs are supposed to play out... Also, I'm hoping to find stories everyone thinks make perfect logical sense.

Are There Any Truly Strong Female Leads? Please!

I tried several novels advertised as having strong female leads, only to find that they were just sweet romance stories in disguise. The female lead always has some so-called unavoidable reason to give in to the male lead, even abandoning her power and influence. Please, do not label stories like this as strong-female-lead novels!! I have been tricked by summaries more than once. I am exhausted.
