    This has to be it, it's campus romance! [Smirk] That autumn when she turned eighteen, a transfer student named Song Jingchuan appeared under the window at the end of the third-floor corridor. He carried a stack of books, walking through the crowd, his white shirt impeccably clean, his soft hair falling over his forehead. When he looked up and saw her, his ears turned red first. After that day, the whole school knew two things. First, it was about the florist's pursuit of her, so blatantly obvious that the entire third floor could hear it. Second, it was about how that seemingly fragile bookworm was actually quite formidable.

    Two novels featuring yandere female protagonists. The first is about a cold, ruthless senior sister from the immortal realm who imprisons an injured demon lord; the entire story involves various forms of coercion, ambiguous and entangled relationships between the two, and later, a sense of empathy develops between them… The second is about an emotionally detached suspense novelist who falls in love with the murderer he created; one day, he suddenly appears beside the female protagonist…

    All of them are under 40,000 words. It seems the short stories don't get very high ratings, maybe because Tomato prefers medium to long stories. The first one is a sweet, non-human romance novel [Silly, lecherous seme x Hot-tempered uke]. The penguin couple is super cute, so sweet it'll make your teeth ache. You can read it as a bedtime story or during leisure time; I finished it in about half an hour. The second one is a tragic romance, a double death story with a happy ending. It tells their story of meeting, getting to know each other, and falling in love in flashback form. The female lead commits suicide for love. Although the plot is a bit cliché, it's still very touching, suitable for when you're feeling emo and need a reason to cry. The third one is a hilarious, outrageously funny, and eccentric novel. I'd call the female lead an unbeatable kidney harvester; I won't say more, you'll understand after reading the first six chapters.

    In the first book, Su Nianyi, who was sleeping soundly at home, dreamt that her house was burning down. When she woke up, she realized it wasn't a dream! Completely bewildered, she watched the firefighters busily working to save her, and it was during this time that she fell in love with Shen Zhinan at first sight. Su Nianyi devised a plan to win Shen Zhinan over, but after the plan failed, she got drunk and, in a daze, forcibly kissed him. One day, Shen Zhinan pinned Su Nianyi, who had been avoiding him for days, against the wall, his voice hoarse: "Flirting and running away, who taught you that?" The second book is super good, a campus romance about mutual unrequited love. The male lead is deeply in love, but he's also a sensitive and fragile little pitiful. Luckily, she comes back, using her love to help him let go of his inferiority complex, and they can finally have a passionate love. I hope you can call my name next time, "Xie Qichuan." I've always known your name, and I like you too. The third book tells the story of Ji Manjing, who marries Nie Qinglang, her childhood sweetheart. Three months into their marriage, her husband is conscripted and taken to the battlefield. A year later, the county sends her husband's pension, but his remains are not brought back. Ji Manjing accepts her fate. For two years, she receives her monthly pension, is filial to her in-laws, and raises her sister-in-law's children. Suddenly one day, the man she died in battle returns, now a general. Nie Qinglang returns to the home he remembers. A three-year-old girl, with candy in her mouth, drools as she asks him, "Who are you?" Nie Qinglang: "I might be your father."
