1 叫 Call Me Big Brother 叫哥 Grass Has No Taste草没味Two Male Leads199k WordsCompleted [Audio drama now available] I’ve been trying to figure out how to write this blurb, but maybe we should keep it simple. It’s the story of a little hoodlum forced to raise a child. Then add a little spark, a little drama, a little help from the side, and some background music. Naturally, the ending is exactly the sort of thing the hoodlum would love: he gets pinned down in a ridiculously melodramatic, utterly predictable way. A coming-of-age story, but not a wish-fulfillment power fantasy. A brot 15.8kReads9.4Score3.1kShelves

I'm so happy, it's not the kind of vigorous love, but the kind of love that flows slowly, and the friendship is also written very well.

The best written statement, no meal replacement, truly a masterpiece. This is called bisexual sapiosexuality. The business war is really exciting, and the emotional line is also very delicate. The author is very good, and his background and writing style beat more than 90% of novice authors. The male protagonist is crazy in love, and the female protagonist is also very proud. The character setting is very high-end, and there is no one like it in Whole Tomato, so no one can copy it. Suitable for readers with high taste, unique and extreme pull, not cliché. The rhythm is very steady, it starts low and goes high, and it gets sweeter as it goes on. After watching it, it will make you think. The plot takes off after ten chapters. Trust me, you will come back and thank me after reading it.

In this novel, the heroine, a saint from the Temple of Light, makes a deal with demons and vampires to survive, and she attracts the human form of a god. The heroine comes to solve the big trouble on the road. The heroine is emotionally slow, and treats the intimate behavior of a certain male protagonist as a conspiracy. She has never thought about love. This package is good-looking.

Since no one recommends it, I will recommend it. This one is super beautiful. The background is that a world is in trouble. Our male protagonist (without cp) must defeat all the children of destiny. The system takes the male protagonist to learn. The male protagonist starts in his mother's belly and is born. A vision from the sky shocked the world of immortality. It is the kind of family atmosphere that brings to everyday life. There are all kinds of children of destiny in it.

Qiqi, who claims to be a system, brings the heroine to save the hero and help him become a god. Unexpectedly, the hero is reborn. Yan Su has long seen through the disguise of the heroine. Qiqi picked up a novel and saw that the hero in it was so miserable. Then she opened a book and wrote another hero. The hero of the original novel named Yan Su also gave Yan Su the opportunity to help the original hero become a god. The heroine and Qiqi assist Yan Su to become a god. The background line is probably this. Anyway, this book is also good to read. Friends, you will know after reading it. I highly recommend this book.
