The short story has been completed and is slightly sadistic. When she was seven years old, Li Shuwan was brought back to the general's mansion from the countryside and became Li Fengyuan's nominal relative. She knew she was humble and was always cautious in front of him, but Li Fengyuan didn't want to see her, a bastard who was nominally an illegitimate child. But regardless of whether they were close or distant, in the empty general's mansion, the two of them were each other's only support. Later, trouble occurred in the northwest. Seventeen-year-old Li Fengyuan, wearing armor and holding a gun, left Li Shuwan and went to the battlefield without looking back. All he left her was an empty general's mansion. Five years later, the northwest was stabilized, and Li Fengyuan, who had been granted the title of marquis and became a general, returned to the capital. At the congratulatory banquet, the two people met after being separated for many years, but Li Shuwan seemed to not recognize him. Their eyes met, she frowned and said in the prince's ear: "Brother Prince, that man is staring at me." That night, Li Fengyuan entered her boudoir, standing beside the bed in a cold air, and told her in a low voice: "No one in this world will treat you better than me. In fact, you and I are not relatives, and we have been engaged since childhood. Do you want someone else or me?"

All are male-male pairings 😳 The first one is slightly angsty, completed, but still very sweet, especially the uke's beastly ears, which are so cuddly. The second one is a coming-of-age story with two strong protagonists, unfortunately unfinished, but the author consistently updates two chapters every day without fail. The third one is also slightly angsty, completed, and quite good; it's about a true eunuch and an emperor, the protagonists are quite individualistic and opinionated, with a certain degree of patriotism and depth.

These are all books I've finished reading. Each one is excellent and relatively short. The longest is number 8, but even that only has a little over 170 chapters, including the side stories. ① His name is Gu Chi, a man who has Jiang Qianxi etched into his very bones. ③ "Of course I won't try to pluck the moon; I want the moon to come to me." ④ "I, Ye Siheng, cannot let the woman I love cry." ① The male lead is named Gu Chi. It has a tragic ending, but it's truly, truly excellent. ② It's been a long time since I finished reading it, but I still remember the boy named A Ye. It's also very good. ③ Mutual unrequited love, very sweet, but the chapter about Sui Sui's grandmother's death was a bit sad. ④ A cold doctor vs. A sunny policeman. Don't let the low rating fool you; it's really good. It's by the same author as number 6. ⑤ I personally think it's the pinnacle of unrequited love stories. It has a tragic ending, but after reading it, you'll feel a sense of unease, yet the ending is good. (This one is very heart-wrenching; my pillow was wet and my eyes were swollen after reading it). ⑥ It used to be 9.9 points, now it's dropped by 0.1 points. It's really very good. I've seen many reviews saying it's a good book whose title doesn't do it justice. ⑦ The female lead transmigrates into a book, and is pregnant with (?) The male lead from the book. The male lead's father in the book is actually the male lead of this novel. He seems to be a hoodlum, but he's a very good person and treats the female lead very well. The novel mainly tells the story of the male and female leads' peaceful and happy life together. It's very good. ⑧ A sweet novel about rebirth back to high school. The whole text is sweet, with no angst. I prefer angst, but I have to say it's very good. This is also a novel where the male and female leads are mutually attracted to each other.
