Snow Falls at Dusk
Some high-quality free romance novels. I personally prefer cozy, everyday stories.
Chaste Male Lead, Female Lead Takes Charge of the Relationship
I can't stand unfaithful men, women being abused, or soul transmigration. I like distinctive, charismatic heroines. I like harems with an intelligent, captivating heroine.

For Pure BG Fans: Enjoy, You're Guaranteed to Be Satisfied
Master and disciple, pseudo-incest, aloof beauties, gloomy men, forbidden romance, boys and girls, school life, dog training, says one thing but means another, Pride and Prejudice, underlings rising above their superiors, cute stories, faked deaths
Straight-Up Male Lead, BG
I lean toward aloof beauties, gentlemen, and elites, with the flavor of good looks combined with obsessive, dark, and controlling traits
So Good!
Haha (P.S. I haven’t bought the whole book for some of these because I only like reading the main story. Money’s tight, so I can’t buy everything.)
BG/Romance Is Better When You Watch Other People Fall in Love
I read everything
Short Stories
All sorts of genres. This is just a record, not a recommendation list. Some are around 150,000 words, which feels pretty substantial already.
Protagonist-Centric, Slightly Shou-Focused Sweep (2025–26)
A mixed bag, with a strong preference for shou protagonists. I favor the shou almost unconditionally; my one hard limit is a gong who isn’t sexually inexperienced. I’m not too fond of coercive romance. The protagonist may be timid and overpowered, or strong with an even stronger partner.
Great Fully Unlocked Novels
Five-star novels I've fully subscribed to, from my personal perspective

I cried when I watched "Two Little Bitter Melons". In fact, I have read reality-oriented literature of this type and setting before. I already know the deep and strong emotions of love that are deeply suppressed under the seemingly plain language. I already know the foreshadowing and knife of Shili forgetting their love, but I still burst into tears at the end. I watched it in the dormitory. , Almost suppressing sobs, taking a tissue to absorb the tears from the corner of his eyes, it is so painful and so warm, fate always gives them a heavy blow in their lives that are on the right track and getting better and better. Fortunately, they are he. This is not only Shi Li's obsession, but also Chen Du's. They both love each other super, Shi Li and Chen Du will never be separated in their lifetime😭
When I read this novel again, I was filled with tears. When will the teacher come back and continue writing? I recently saw a game that is very similar to the content of this novel. I don't know if it's my imagination.
Woo woo woo woo, I'm crying to death
Dad, I like your articles very much. Your writing style is very delicate. I can feel the outstanding personality of the characters. You are simply my favorite author. I tried to read it with the mentality of giving it a try at the beginning, but I found it very interesting at the beginning. The setting is also quite unique. Please write a side story. I want to see Shi Li and Chen Du met in the underworld, and I was tortured in the process. I must recommend it to people around me to read your article. I will write a similar one. I like this setting so much that I can't get enough of it. I want to read it again. I thought it was an old setting. It's very new and very beautiful. I like it very much. Chen Du's love is always good! ! !
Why is it so easy to cry? I cry all the time. Life is really hard. It would be great if I died when there are still people who love me. But unfortunately, I don't. I can only watch people leave one by one. You must be happy.
Finished reading on July 15, 2026, it's so beautiful and touching [biting handkerchief]
Super sour widower literature. I haven't shed so many tears for a novel for a long time. My eyes hurt from crying... The ending of two poor little bitter gourds [crying] is comparable to that of Be [crying]
I'm super powerful [crying] Author, you're going to make me cry, woo woo woo woo, the writing is so awesome, it made me feel very sad and sad. When I first started reading, I almost couldn't keep reading, because the heroine's perspective kept emphasizing that the relationship between the two is very ordinary. , I really believed it, until I heard this sentence repeatedly, I realized something was wrong. I guessed that the heroine would lose her memory, but what I didn't expect was that the heroine did not lose her memory but chose to change it. Wuwuwuwuwu [crying] Fortunately, the ending is good.
Very heartwarming, I didn't cry but it was really warm and healing [poor] [poor] [poor] Two cute babies
I actually cried while watching it, but I also wanted to laugh when I saw the heroine turned into an editor. I seriously doubt that the author was driven crazy by the editor [covering face and crying]
