Rating Balancer
I've run out of five-star ratings for the great stories I adore, so I had to dig up some abandoned ones to balance things out.

Great plots and romance
Female-Lead Fans, Come On In!
Here are some things I love. Hope you enjoy them too!
Fully Purchased and Read Multiple Times Before 2025
I was in a reading slump, so I went through the author columns of books I'd previously bought in full, and I'm trying to give detailed introductions. I'll make separate lists by genre for new books I finish from now on.
Personal Reading Log (1)
I lean slightly toward shou, but only a little. I love couples most, though I also read some romance.
Romance 1
Modern, ancient, cultivation, and interstellar settings (romance and BL).
A Sweet Historical Romance with a Reanimated Corpse
Not much in the way of grand political schemes. Easy reading for when you're bored: cozy, feel-good, satisfying slice-of-life stories, with lovable side characters too. They left me feeling all warm and fuzzy~
Female-Centered, Strong Female Leads, and Feel-Good Stories
As the title says. The books also contain no misogynistic remarks.
My Fully Purchased Reading List
Novels I’ve bought in full over the years
Romance and Gen-Free Female-Lead Stories
Romance and female-lead stories with no CP
Light, Comforting, Heartwarming BG Romance
A bit of everything: Western fantasy, xianxia, xuanhuan, modern settings, nonhuman characters, fluffy creatures, and so on. But none of them have much scheming. One-way or mutual healing, or unrequited love: basically, they're all sweet romances.

Personal Picks Worth Rereading
A variety of genres. This list only collects books I've reread at least twice. I'll gradually replace the reviews and update from time to time...
Highly Recommended, So Good
The romance novels below are all excellent. There's one danmei novel because it was just too good not to share with you all. Is four stars the maximum??
2. Finished and Really Enjoyed
My tastes: I like slow-burn romances and seeing how the male lead pursues and pampers the female lead. I don't like mutual attraction or mutual pining from the start. I don't read stories where the woman pursues the man.

So the fifth prince is an abstract painter [laughing and crying]
In fact, the fifth prince is not good at painting realistic and beautiful paintings, but he is more willing to paint the innocent and childlike paintings that he loves [crying] [crying] [crying]
I just found out that the fifth prince is an abstract painter
I hope that the people in the story and us who read the story can always be well and happy! The ending is "Spreading Flowers" [Come on], it's a very heartwarming story, except that there are no cars, everything is beautiful
I feel like there are too few extra scenes describing the relationship between the male and female protagonists. It would be nice if there were a few chapters in the first person.
Co-author Lao Wu is very good at painting, but his aesthetic is too abstract. He feels that the paintings in the eyes of the world are too vulgar. He has his own unique understanding hahahaha
One brush stroke [Sprinkle flowers] The fifth brother is really a great painter [Eat melon]
The troublemaker turned out to be the fourth child. I thought it was a child, but this feels so good [laughing]
After four brushes, I'm still feeling lonely!
I watched it again, it's still so beautiful
