    Reader note

    For those who can't handle the "chasing husband" trope, these are all male-oriented novels, guaranteed to be good. These few are truly excellent. The first one, aside from the terrible ending, is really well-written; that's why I switched from Bilibili (it wasn't finished on Bilibili then, which was frustrating). The second one, aside from the bad ending, is truly captivating throughout (the ending is controversial; I personally disliked it, some felt it was a case of starting something and then abandoning it, others thought the male lead's departure was elegant. I read the sequel, which also had a bad ending; I'm speechless). The third one, "Ex-Wife Sister," is so funny; she's not unlikeable, and the characters are very well-developed and interesting. The fourth one, "Sigma Man Becomes a Succubus: It's All for Work Requirements! I Really Don't Want to Fall in Love." (But if you want to read about "chasing husbands," keep scrolling; I've read almost 200 chapters and haven't reached that point yet.) The fifth one has quite a few "chasing husband" scenes, mostly involving relentless killing.
