    I usually find a good book and then search for other books by the author. The first three are unpublished, but they are my favorites this year. They are romance novels, all quite realistic, not wish-fulfillment stories. The male and female leads have strengths and weaknesses; the male lead isn't an omnipotent genius fluent in six languages, and the female lead isn't a stunningly beautiful 20-year-old with a tragic past who later becomes a famous designer… They are colleagues or friends… There are misunderstandings in relationships, there might be exes, and moments of unclear thinking. The books offer correct values ​​and perspectives on life, share workplace experiences, and provide life advice. You'll gain something from reading them and have something to reflect on. The author's writing style is also excellent, concise and worth the time to appreciate. They are not wish-fulfillment stories… I haven't read wish-fulfillment stories for years… The vast majority of the other books are published works. The quality is definitely guaranteed. I recommend all the works by the following authors: August Chang'an, Xin Yiwu, Qing Shan Luo Tuo Chuan Xing Si Ji, Miao Juan, Jinling Xue… Searching by author name, they are all really good. These are all I can think of for now.

    The beginning is rather uneventful and realistic, but it gradually becomes sweeter later on. There are no special advantages; the male lead is an outstanding ordinary person, not incredibly wealthy, and the female lead is not a pampered wife, but someone with her own thoughts. The two come together because they share similar values, aspirations, and mutual appreciation.

    The first book is about a girl who loves to eat and cook, who meets a boy who seems intimidating at first but is actually quite simple. It's quite long because it also includes workplace elements. The second book is for girls; it's about seeing your ex-boyfriend for who he really is and, after the breakup, slowly discovering that the long-lost younger brother next door is a real gem.
