    A campus romance novel. The female lead is ordinary, while the male lead is rich and handsome, yet they fall in love. 🥰 Completely unconventional, with no melodramatic plot twists! A chemistry genius from an ordinary background x a musician from a family of lawyers—super addictive! Both are independent and strong! The male lead is a bit arrogant and sarcastic, unreliable, and loves to joke around. Sometimes he's a comedian, but he's also a well-behaved and obedient student. He's empathetic and understands the aloofness and perfectionist pride beneath the enthusiastic female lead's smile. He will always love her deeply and unconditionally. ✌️❤️ The female lead also secretly loves the male lead and has her own academic and career achievements (guaranteed admission to university) and perseverance. She never gives up; she gets back up after every tear. During the drama club auditions, she was chosen for the lead role, but because her father favored his illegitimate daughter, he paid money to snatch the role from the female lead and give it to her. The female lead was devastated but quickly recovered, showing incredible resilience. After understanding the situation, the male lead helped her get revenge in his own way. Later, he used his legal expertise to help the female lead's mother with her divorce case, earning a large sum of legal fees. The villains and antagonists all got their just desserts, which was very satisfying and not at all angsty! 🔥🤩 In the end, the male and female leads overcame their class differences and finally fell in love. 🥰 It's very intelligent and includes professional legal knowledge; it's not just sweet for the sake of being sweet. 😋💓

    Recommended reading guide: 🇦 You can first look at the titles of the books I recommend (scroll all the way to the bottom). If you are interested in a title, find the corresponding review according to the number. I don't like books that are too brainless, and I also have a slightly high standard for the female lead (non-representational) character development. If you want to read something purely forced, take it away (this one is not recommended). 🇧 Representational stories will have a "#" symbol. If it doesn't, it is non-representational (this one has a lot of people, so I will edit it again (｡ò ∀ ó｡)) (I'm too lazy... I can't edit it anymore, I'll edit two for now) (1) - #Super strongly recommended! ① Setting: Your irresistible charm spreads through bodily fluids (any liquid from your body will do). Those attracted to you crave you like a traveler in the desert thirsts for a drop of water—without you, they feel like they've lost their lives… ② Recommendations: 1. The "you" described by the author fits the concept of an ordinary person, making it easy for me to identify with. For example, "you" might feel a little smug talking about a dazzling boyfriend, but also feel a bit disgusted because of the potential trouble (it feels like the psychological state when talking about a boyfriend you feel is not a good match for you; of course, I didn't describe it as delicately as the author did, I used plain language and added my own subjective touch); 2. Therefore, the ambiguous tug-of-war between certain characters, the control of each male lead's personality, and certain… well… the plot is all described with great tension, making me feel a little shy yet incredibly excited… (Uh, is this something I can say?!); 3. I haven't seen a similar setting that can be used as a substitute for a meal, making it unique! ③ Minor shortcomings: So few, really so few! Why are there so few?! It's driving me crazy, I can't take it anymore... 2- ① Setting: The female lead is a charming and popular character. She is an ordinary person, but who says that an ordinary person's soul can't move the hearts and minds of others? ②Recommendations: 1. The author's portrayal of the female lead's upbringing and control of the plot are excellent, evoking strong empathy and feeling incredibly real. 2. The narrative style is quite novel in my opinion; it's rare to see a story that begins with one of the male leads' perspectives to initiate the main plot, followed by numerous flashbacks to flesh out the female lead. 3. The interactions between the female and male leads are currently dominated by Zhang Moumou, creating a tense and suspenseful atmosphere. The ambiguity between them is particularly exciting, and the author seems adept at achieving a powerful impact with a short passage (the author mentioned that many more characters will appear later, but for now, the male lead will dominate). ③Minor shortcomings: It's so hard to recommend! The author's naming is too simple; when I showed it to fellow fans, they rejected it after seeing the male and female leads' names, sob sob sob (but this treasure belongs to me alone, hehehe (￣▽￣)). 3- This one depends on personal taste, but its strengths are the well-developed female lead, the author's writing style, and her charm. However, the male leads are more attracted to her because of her inherent charm, not... A specific attraction. 4- Those who like fast-paced stories can skip this one, as the pace is quite slow. People with high moral standards might find it difficult to read. However, its highlight is the well-developed female lead, who has a lot of inner monologues. Because of the plot design, the female lead actually suffers a lot of hardships, but just when you're initially sad, a sudden inner monologue will make you laugh, so you finish reading with a mix of sadness and joy. 5- I haven't finished reading this one yet. The setting is in the cultivation world, but the first few dozen chapters are quite enjoyable. It's very well-written, and I have high expectations for each male lead. However, I'm sure there will be wallpapers later on, hehe. 6- A special point about this one is that the female lead is the girlfriend of male lead 1 from the beginning. Ah, the remaining male leads are all friends of the first male lead. The writing style is also quite good. Among all the female lead novels I've read, this one is relatively novel. Before, except for the first male lead, everyone looked down on the female lead. Out of curiosity, they got to know her and ended up falling for her. There's a bit of satisfaction in that. 7- This one has multiple worlds, but the first one is really satisfying. It includes some forced elements. However, since I've only seen the second world, I don't have a complete picture, so I won't comment too much. If you like diversity, you can check this one out. 8- I also feel this one is quite novel. The female lead travels back and forth between the real world and a parallel world, but later the two timelines slowly intersect. Her parallel world is a BL novel, and the female lead needs to save the male lead there (who is also one of the male leads). It might be a bit confusing to read later, as the plot might be a bit more complex. 9- Um… haha, I've been hoarding this novel for too long and forgot about it… but the music is also quite good, otherwise I wouldn't have hoarded it for so long… 10- I personally think the beginning of this one is quite good, but I lost interest in the middle and stopped reading. You can read the beginning first and then see if the middle suits your taste. This one is also quite plot-driven, not too long, but not boring. 11- I won't go into the sexual tension, but each world is quite novel, featuring non-human beings. The male lead has a slightly controlling feel, with a strong sense of coercion, but the foreign persimmon doesn't allow meat on the table, waaaaaah, I can't even imagine how delicious it would be if there were meat! 12- The author's writing is superb!!! The character descriptions are excellent, the female lead has her own personal charm, and it's her charm that attracts the male lead (of course, the plot also plays a role). But why did the first world end so abruptly?! It's a multi-world story, but the connections between each world are quite unique, giving a feeling of a fleeting dream. After reading the second world, I even fell in love with the female lead, hehehe. 13- Oh my god, I forgot I had this book! I just reread it, and it's also very enjoyable. This one is also quite novel; the "Most Popular World" is a game the female lead plays. It's actually quite good, but I forgot, hehe... I'm already exhausted from writing this recommendation; I can't even imagine how tiring it must be for those authors when they're typing. I need to relax with a few chapters...

    The first book was absolutely delicious, truly amazing! The basic setting, within a campus setting, gave it a unique youthful feel, and the interactions with the various male leads were wonderful. Aside from the slightly shorter update cycle, it had no flaws. My rating is: absolutely fantastic! Books 2, 3, and 4 are all by Zhao Gouqu's mom. She's practically a goddess who controls the hearts of ordinary girls! [Almost crying emoji] Each book is excellent and a different genre. If you want a brainless, sweet story, read 4; if you want a female lead with a somewhat difficult personality who trains dogs, read 3; if you want to see a female lead grow step by step and not be satisfied with a single style, read 2. Every world in 2 is incredibly captivating; 2's world-building is truly impressive, and the author is also quite talented. In short, it's still incredibly fantastic. Book 5 is a recent discovery I found, and it's quite good, somewhat similar to 1, but it's also ongoing, so proceed with caution. My rating is still: absolutely fantastic!

    An ordinary-looking girl, suffering from unrequited love, sheds tears, one after another. Her youthful, bittersweet crush is a testament to this. She pours her overflowing love into a cold and indifferent man, watching him and her "white moonlight" (her ideal love interest) – everyone says they're a perfect match, and they truly are. Others say she's too ugly for him, but what's wrong with liking someone? She's captivated by his basketball-playing antics, sending him Americano every time, all her love met with a cold shoulder, as if nothing happened. Until she's violated and seeks help from him through online dating, only to be met with the same man who always coldly rejected her. He publicly defends her, but it's too late. She suddenly realizes she loved only her fantasy. Even after amnesia, one can still fall in love at first sight, leading to pregnancy and marriage. After regaining her memory, she wants a divorce, to escape him. But why, after a long separation, does she want to remarry him, needing his help?

    I quite like the female lead's personality. Although she's an ordinary girl, she doesn't just passively endure things; instead, she goes from initial helplessness to later enjoying it. There are also some basic dog-training scenes. Aside from the short chapters, it's pretty good overall.
