   1. Misplaced Unrequited Love, Mutual Redemption: The male lead is a diplomat, and the female lead is a florist. The female lead has a crush on the male lead from age 16 to 24, and from age 24 to 26, she decides to forget him, during which time the male lead has a crush on her. The author's writing is excellent, and each character has their own soul. Although it's a sweet story about unrequited love turning into love, I finished reading it while crying. 2. My top pick: Both the male and female leads are lawyers. It's a female-centric novel. Falling in love with the female lead is really easy, and you'll always be captivated by her charm. 3. Two academic geniuses (I guess so, although the male lead isn't as academically gifted as the female lead, his grades are still quite good). The male lead is an entrepreneur, and the female lead is a physics professor. It's rare to find a novel where the female lead is stronger than the male lead, except for 4i. The male lead has a crush on the female lead for many years. When the female lead is oblivious, they are best friends. After she realizes it, he goes straight for her. 4. A male lead with very stable emotions. It's a very cliché setting, but very heartwarming. The male lead is an entrepreneur, and the female lead is an engineer. The female lead and her father saved the male lead when she was young. After that, the male lead became a gentle older brother to accompany the female lead as she grew up. They reunited after many years, and the male lead quickly won the female lead over. 5, 11, and 12 follow the same formula. The female lead's fiancé was originally the male lead's younger brother, but he lost the engagement due to his own mistakes. The older brother, who had secretly loved the female lead for many years, quickly stepped in to change the fiancé to himself. However, the reasons why the male and female leads got together are different. All of them are very good! 6. It's definitely not the kind of show I like. Zhou Yuetian, who is popular in the short drama world, and Xie Yanli, a representative of unrequited love. After the female lead gave up on the male supporting character, the male lead trusted and understood her deeply, believing that she wouldn't look back once she had given up. 7. The female lead met her university calligraphy professor on a blind date arranged for her sister. To escape her family, she had a whirlwind marriage. The male lead had secretly loved the female lead for many years, but due to various reasons such as studies, family, and health, he hadn't formally gotten to know her or pursued her. When he saw that the blind date was the female lead, he proposed a whirlwind marriage. The name on the female lead's university admission notice was written by the male lead himself! The female lead also took the male lead's calligraphy class because of this. 8. A novel set within the system (12-year age gap). At 28, the male lead encountered the most vibrant color in his monotonous life. At 36, after learning that the female lead had broken up with her ex-boyfriend, he immediately proposed a marriage alliance to his family, adding that splash of color to his monotonous life. After marriage, the male lead used the rules to protect the female lead's legislative dream. Male lead: Within the rules, I'll do my best; outside the rules, I'll build a wall for you. A calm, mature man x a bright, beautiful lawyer—it's so sweet! 9. The male lead has had a crush on the female lead since high school, but she already has someone she likes. Finally, after being dumped for lacking boundaries, the male supporting character quickly pursues the female lead. 10. A very light and sweet story. The male lead ran away from home as a child and met the female lead. Due to an accident, the female lead lost the contact information he left behind. Years later, they reunite because of their voices (the male and female leads are voice actors).

    First of all!!! The female lead's character is flawless!! She's not pretentious, spoiled, or delicate, and the male lead isn't arrogant or chauvinistic! They both care deeply about the female lead's feelings!! None of them are angsty!! Not a single one is tragic, just pure sweetness! The first book: The male lead has secretly loved the female lead for over ten years. After she's killed by a scumbag, he prays for her rebirth. After her rebirth, the scumbag pursues her relentlessly, but she doesn't turn back. (The scumbag and the female lead time-travel, but the male lead doesn't. In his previous life, the male lead always loved the female lead.) The second book: The male lead has secretly loved the female lead for ten years; a secretly pleased male lead, so sweet!! The third book: The male lead has secretly loved the female lead for many years, always planning his move. Finally, through a carefully orchestrated "chance encounter," his dream comes true. They're really good, and the male lead's character is particularly compelling. Fourth book: The male lead falls in love with the female lead after transferring schools in high school and has a crush on her for a long time. The female lead also likes someone else (both are virgins! She doesn't end up with the scumbag). The scumbag keeps the female lead hanging, neither accepting nor rejecting him, nor clarifying the situation. Later, she dumps the scumbag and they get together beautifully [drooling]. The male lead is incredibly devoted; he'll only pose for photos with her if she's present when he receives an award. He updates his unrequited love diary on Weibo for ten years, and the female lead even follows a blogger who updates comics about her unrequited love. Isn't that a mutual pursuit? Fifth book: Eight years of unrequited love, the male lead is super charismatic. The male and female leads and the scumbag are all high school classmates. He's always liked the female lead and does whatever she says. Sixth book: Mutual unrequited love, good writing, lots of campus scenes. Seventh book: The male lead has a crush on the female lead for many years. By a twist of fate, the female lead asks him, "Do you want to be with me?" The male lead, outwardly calm but inwardly pounding with excitement, agrees. A sweet little story (not too dramatic, just a sincere romance between two people.) At first, the female lead doesn't think she likes the male lead yet, blah blah blah, anyway, it's very sweet, and the female lead has a bit of a comedic element. Eighth book: You can tell from the title. A story about a fire brigade captain and a university professor, workplace romance, worth checking out if you're interested. Ninth book: Super fast-paced, both the male and female leads are incredibly engaging. (The male lead has had a crush on her for years.) They often bicker on the surface, but they're actually secretly married. However, the announcement of their marriage is a bit slow (after the female lead gets pregnant). Those who mind this should avoid it.
