My Favorite Couples and Heroines
Top Picks for Female-Lead Fans: Finished or Currently Updating
My tastes: female characters should have complete growth arcs that aren’t tied to romance; the story should flow well, without any glaring logical errors; the author should have at least a basic appreciation for women. Female character arcs > male character arcs.
High-Quality Novels Recommended by a Reader of Over a Decade
All completed novels. I only read romance and stories with no CP.
Romance, Main-Character Fan
The female lead is the sole protagonist. I prefer female leads with personality. The man chosen by the female lead is the male lead.
[Romance] A Complicated Mix That Keeps You Coming Back
Books I've reread two or three times. I read both fan works and original stories, and enjoy nonhuman characters, steamy romance, dark and obsessive love, harem endings, and absurd humor. Includes a few older pure-love stories and enemies-to-lovers plots.

Suddenly I had a thought: Yan Yan must be a Gryffindor, smart, brave, and strong~ (just kidding). I feel Professor Su is a Slytherin, but a very well-bred one. Professor D. And Big Head are probably Ravenclaws, so devoted to academics. The eldest sister looks a bit like Hufflepuff. Oh dear.
I reread it in 2026. I'm grateful to the author for giving everyone the protagonist's halo, allowing everyone to live, for Teacher Su and Yan Yan to meet, for the eldest sister, Yan Yan, Da Tou, and Teacher Su to meet in England, for the mother and daughters to be reunited after a long separation, and for them to live to the end. In reality, in that era, once separated, it was like a drop of water flowing into the sea, and it was difficult to see each other again for life.
Yan Yan, if you were here, you would have come today too, right?
Finally finished reading it! The whole story was great 🌈🌈🌈. Although the author did leave out some characters along the way 😂, and some character names and developments were inconsistent, and a few important supporting characters weren't given much explanation afterward [noob emoji]. But overall, the flaws don't detract from the overall quality. I devoured it in one go!
Was the plot changed a bit later on? I remember after they parted ways, the organization evacuated Teacher Su, and she only reunited with Yan Yan in Yan'an. Now it's directly changed to them meeting in Hawaii. Or am I remembering wrong? I still think it's very good after rewatching it, hehehe. I especially loved the lively and cheerful daily life of the whole family in the beginning.
Okay, I reread it from the middle (the chapter where someone liked my comment). Now I'm going to read Yan Yan's part in "The Company Will Go Bankrupt 300 Times".
I love Yan Yan! I love Teacher Su! I love Mom! I love my older sister! I love Dad and Shi Datou! 😭😭😭😭😭
I finally finished watching it, it was so good, oh my god 😭😭😭
I like to immediately open the first chapter again, as if the story isn't over.
Why is there no more writing about Ms. Zhu and Professor Dai? It feels like so many plot points weren't developed further.
