Ordinary fluffy romances don't move me anymore. Now I want novels with bittersweet tension, domineering love, intense love triangles, groveling exes, and ghostly men.

Cuncun's Personal BG Favorites
Kink bullseye
Rekindled Love, Coercive Possession, and Star-Crossed Lovers
Mostly historical romance. Reunions after a breakup are so hard to write, seriously. The possessive-take-by-force trope is kind of a personal kink. Also includes tragic love and stories for adults...

Couldn't Stop Reading Until the End (Romance/No Romance)
My tastes are all over the place. Recommending novels that hooked me and kept me reading straight through. Romance or no-couple stories, but the female lead has to be the protagonist!
Love and Hate in Historical Romance
An intense tangle of love, desire, and hate between grown men and women. There's hurt and pain, growth and compromise. It's not a conventional one-on-one pairing.
My Personal List of Completed Reads Worth Revisiting
BG, BL, and no-CP stories. I’m an anything-goes reader, so beware. I’ve reviewed every book, but the System glitched and messed up the ratings, so all that work was wasted. I can’t copy and paste them either, so I’ll restore them when I have time.

BG Full-Subscription Reading List Archive
Grateful to the authors for their hard work. I’m just wandering through a sea of stories. Some I only finished because of my OCD, but the ones I reread deserve five stars.
Female Leads of Every Kind
The female lead is the master of her own life and takes control of her future
Transmigration and Rebirth Stories
Even when the leads transmigrate or are reborn, they change their original lives and destinies through their own circumstances and hard work. I’m not too fond of brainless wish-fulfillment stories.

Category B
Great books worth rereading, with good writing and solid logic. Sometimes silly, sometimes serious. No ranking, and a bit of everything. When I’m out of things to read, I go back to these.
Realistic Historical Romance
The historical romances that left the strongest impression on me. Realistic fiction, and reading them may not be a pleasant experience. Proceed with caution.

This book is so well written, with too many obsessions and too many causes and effects. It cannot be explained by anyone who has not experienced it personally. Although many of the plots are quite controversial, as a reader, I still want to say that the writing determines everything. Everything the protagonist has experienced has made him who he is now. Although he can also be jealous, hateful, and paranoid, there have been countless fearless moments that ignited you and me outside the screen. Sodebori may have never intended to write a perfect protagonist, which is indeed a pity, but it is still worth celebrating to see such lively and vivid writing.
Want to see the if line: 1. Zhuzhu was reborn and married to Hexi at the beginning (Uncle and Sister-in-law Literature) 2. Li Gu was reincarnated and found a way to break the situation, fulfilling a lifelong love relationship with Zhuzhu and giving Zhuzhu a happy life. 3. After the fall of Zhao, Li Gu successfully brought Zhuzhu back from the grassland. 4. Zhuzhu finally gave birth to a little princess who looked very much like herself. 5. When nothing happened in Li Gu's harem, Zhuzhu entered the palace as his empress (although it's impossible, but I really want to see it). I want to see both the be version and the he version.
When I watched it for the first time, I felt a little regretful about the ending of Lin Fei and Yuzhang. I thought that even if there was no blood and tears like in the previous life, you and I are inseparable, and it would be a good outcome to be with each other all the time. Now I think this ending is good, you are you and I am me.
There is no meal replacement after Li Gu, so let's write ancient words again, dear Comrade Xiuxian.
I really wish that Yuzhang would not have to suffer the pain of love in the end. Love is exclusive... The author's writing is so strong. Reading the full text made me feel extremely uncomfortable. The most satisfying part for me is that Yuzhang points out that the male protagonist should feel that he can get her love because he is in power. I like Zhuzhu so much 55555 She has become the best but also the most difficult person to be, sober and hard-hearted but also affectionate and righteous. Before she feels "worthy", she will not compromise even if she is affectionate.
The plot of letting three palace girls have children is still a bit abrupt, so crazy. I have always seen mine clearance before, but I have gradually accepted it... I also understand Lin Fei in the last few chapters. The ending of the second brother Yang is also very good. He has a career and a family. This reader is relieved by this couple. I am also very happy for Baozhu and Qi Ge. The story is very twists and turns, very touching and impressive.
Xiuxian, Li Gu, the little princess, Li Ziyi, and the lustful Jingye, Happy New Year 2026! Thank you Xiuxian! In 2025, I saw this beautiful novel.
Congratulations on the launch of the first film and TV series. You will make a lot of money [hug] Welcome everyone to come and see us Baohua and Li Gu [Make Me Kangkang]
An ancient saying that touched me deeply. I saw many shining girls. Yuzhang and Afei went through all the obstacles to find what they wanted. Baozhu was able to walk out of the back house and saw the sky high and the clouds were vast. There were also Zhadayali, Li Zhenzhen, Deng Wan, and even Cui Shiba who struggled and failed... The male protagonist Li Gu is with me. It seems that he is a better tool in Xiu Dabi's work. After all, I am here to see the heroine grow and transform into a better version of herself. I am not trying to force the so-called perfect male protagonist to be the dream girl (I don't say which one is better, everyone has their own preferences). Excellent women do not necessarily pursue only better men. (This is why there are men in female videos who are better than the female protagonists), but it must be a better life!!! By the way, I urge you to have more sleeves~
I stayed up all night. It would be disrespectful not to stay up all night to read this kind of article.
