   These are all the sickly/frail stories in my bookshelf that appeal to my tastes. They were carefully selected, and I hope they can help fellow enthusiasts. 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11 are some of my favorites that I've finished reading. 10 and 11 are about two male leads, but they're really well-written, so I've included them. I hope anyone in this thread who shares this interest will add me! 🥹 My reading tastes are rather unique, so it's hard for me to find like-minded people. 🥹

    Reader note

    All three books feature characters with a somewhat sickly nature. The first book has a protagonist who is slightly frail, with white hair and blue eyes, uses a fan as a weapon, and is both intelligent and somewhat eccentric—a book with a brain, and no romantic pairing. The second book is a Dream of the Red Chamber fanfiction; the protagonist has been sickly since childhood and has made a pact with his husband that he would be bedridden for a month each time he was ill—it's a dual male protagonist story. The third book is also okay.

    Reader note

    The protagonist of this book is born with antisocial personality disorder. However, he also suffers from bipolar disorder (a more severe form of depression). While others eat three meals a day, he only eats one every three days. This is because he once worked undercover in Myanmar. During the explosion of a narcotics lab, many chemicals and glass shards became embedded in his body and could not be removed. He has to be in intensive care for every case he participates in. It's truly heartbreaking to read. The key point is that it wasn't apparent at first. Later, his frail and sickly demeanor gradually became apparent.
