These Two Were Made for Each Other
BG! Basically, these are stories I’ve read and really enjoyed (completed, full-subscription versions). I love shipping couples, and I’m into power fantasies, sweet romance, tragic love, and taboo relationships.
My Top 100 Jinjiang Novels
An imprecise, rough tally: historical romance, contemporary romance, fantasy romance, Western fantasy, cross-cultural romance, xianxia and cultivation, equally matched leads, rekindled love, character growth, and high romantic intensity.
Great BG Literature
In every book, you can really feel how deeply the male lead loves the female lead. Even when things get complicated, they're both sweet and angsty, with moments that make your heart skip a beat.

A Look at Historical Romance: Long-Winded Review Edition
My reading tastes: danmei, redemption, political intrigue, mystery, and coming-of-age stories. My reviews are very subjective, and I write whatever comes to mind. Anything I enjoy reading to the end goes on this list.
Romance Novels I've Tried and Loved
Every book comes with a detailed (sort of) summary, so pick whatever suits you (?). Everything here is strictly one-on-one romance.

I felt that a lot of the outline was deleted at the end, some places were abrupt, and there were a lot of foreshadowings that were not taken back. Did Jiujiu's plan during his escape work? If there were difficulties, it would be impossible for the girls to return safely. Did Qiqi and Jiuyou contact each other again? Is Mrs. Zhen really Qiqi? Ji Yu received the jade pendant's return of value, what she paid for it, and the song she wrote for Jiu was supposed to be a very important foreshadowing for Jiang Qiqi. How did you learn Qimen Dunjia, and who arranged the formation of No Return Mountain. Many, many have no follow-up When I first saw Jiujiu Bu's poison, I thought it was fake from beginning to end. Jiu was initially willing to leave with Ji Yu because he was already homeless. During the period of Shen Baiwu, Ji Yu really wanted to let Jiu go free, but later regretted it, so she thought of this poor excuse to stay (forced to stay), otherwise the male and female protagonist's pull would not be valid. The three-month deadline for Jiu's escape threatens not Jiu, but Ji Yu, because after three months, Jiu discovers that he is not poisoned at all, and may really disappear. In order not to be Ji Yu's weakness and never appear again, Ji Yu must find Jiu within 3 months. Even if it is a real poison, Ji Yu can choose to detoxify it directly or add real poison several times in the whole text when boiling the antidote, and there must be at least one time when Ji Yu will be willing to give Jiuquan the antidote. The final wedding of the hero and heroine seems to go against their personalities. I don't think either of them are extremely luxurious people who need to be cared for. If you have the opportunity to go into seclusion, you will definitely start from scratch with another identity and occupation and become prosperous, or you will get tired of the world and start farming. It feels like the ending suddenly fast forwards to the happy reunion making dumplings. I really liked this book before reading the ending. It was very similar to Hua Xuyin. Even if I sometimes disagreed with the protagonist's choice, I would still be impressed by the narrative logic of the text. I even had the opportunity to create a more three-dimensional world view and view of war, but the author abandoned it at the ending. I think the ending outline might have been changed for some reason, but it's a shame. The ending I imagined was oe or be1 where everything is relieved
The ending of "Spreading Flowers" is super beautiful. I didn't like reading first-person articles before, but this one really changed me! I really like Jiujiu and Ji Yu, I hope they will always be happy in another world🥰
Watching it three times makes me want to cry
What a beautiful and exciting story. I stayed up all night to tie it up. Everyone will have regrets, and all we can do is cherish the moment so that we won't feel too sorry when we look back on it years later.
The best thing about this book is that we love each other but we are still saving ourselves. It is not because of love that everything will be solved naturally. Everyone has his own issues. When we meet at the right time to warm each other and then each solve the issues that have been bothering us for a long time, then we will be the best match in the world.
I finished reading it and I like Jiujiu's character!
Nice! The CP line is very restrained, but it is also very enjoyable to watch, very attractive, unconventional, and not sweet for the sake of sweetness [Orange Candy].
I've finished reading it, it's a good read👀Haha, are you ready to fall in love with the most unloving person in the world? [Orange Candy] Got it
Wo Meng Jiujiu and Xiaoyu want to be happy hehe~ [Star Eyes] (I think of that cat. At first Mr. Ji thought Jiujiu was that cat. When Jiujiu got angry, he put the collar around his neck... Hehe)
Finished reading! I particularly like the first word of speech!
