   I recommend "The School Beauty Chases Me, But I Don't Want Her, I Only Love My Deskmate"—the "anti-cliché" setting of rejecting the school beauty is very touching, the interactions revolving around the deskmate are natural and not awkward, there is no harem or angst, it is a light and sweet urban slice-of-life novel, it is already completed and can be read in one go.

   His countdown to the college entrance exam was her countdown to death. This story was a dead end from the start. The female lead, Jiang Qiao, was diagnosed with stomach cancer and transferred schools in her second year of high school, becoming deskmates with the male lead. The feelings of young people were hidden in the moment they wanted to look each other in the eye. Love drifted on the wind, budding and growing wildly, all because of their uncontrollable heartbeats.

Before she went in, Jian Tong said, “I didn’t kill her.” Shen Xiujin remained unmoved. After her release, Jian Tong said, “I killed Xia Weiming.

   The rain poured down. Jian Tong, soaked to the bone, clung to the car window, desperately protesting, "It wasn't me, Shen Xiujin, let me explain!" Inside, the man's cold face was blurred by the rain, only a chilling coldness remained in his eyes. The car door flung open, and she was roughly pulled inside, her wet body slamming into his arms. Large water stains spread across her white shirt, like her shattered heart. He gripped her chin, his fingertips icy, his tone mocking: "You like me that much?" She had succumbed to his fleeting tenderness, believing it to be salvation, unaware that it was a deeper purgatory. He believed the slander of others, convinced she had hurt Wei Ming, and cruelly pushed her into the abyss, imprisoning her freedom and crushing her dignity. Shen Xiujin didn't know that every time he hurt her, he was slowly torturing their souls. Before the age of 18, Jian Tong was a confident and flamboyant red rose in Shanghai, in love with Shen Xiujin. After her release from prison, she lived a life of shame and disgrace, having long lost her dignity. Shen Xiujin wanted to find the arrogant and domineering young lady he once knew in her, constantly humiliating her and trying to provoke her to fight back. But Jian Tong didn't care about anything anymore; she only wanted to go to Erhai Lake to see the place longed for by Ah Lu, who had died for her in prison. Shen Xiujin could never find her again. He loved her, but she didn't love him anymore. He had lost her. When it was finally discovered that Jian Tong was not the murderer of Xia Weiming, he tried desperately to win her back, but the deep regret became a shackle. This belated love ultimately became an unredeemable cremation.

   This heart-wrenching romance takes the "wife-chasing-after-the-crimson" trope to new heights. The heroine's transformation from fearful to calmly retaliating is realistically compelling, while the hero's arrogant yet deeply affectionate collapse is both poignant and satisfying. The emotional tension is palpable, with every twist and turn piercingly painful. Just when you think it's another cliché of torturing the heroine, the story takes an unexpected turn for the better. Perfect for all readers fed up with frustrating plots and craving a truly awakening heroine—this time, it's not just one heart that's burning in the crematorium.
