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.
Fully Purchased
Works I've bought all the chapters for. Some don't seem as good now
BG Second-Chance Romance
I do love angsty, bittersweet stories, but I'm a little picky about the writing. Feel free to add suggestions in the comments~
Modern Romance I've Read
Modern romance novels I've read, as the title says. Includes GB. Personal list, all ratings are subjective.
What Makes Love a Good Story?
Love is best when set against the grand backdrop of history, born from opposing sides, and directed toward someone who cannot be loved. It is best when the lovers misunderstand each other until everything is bloody and raw, and love becomes completely unrecognizable.
Top-Leaning, Versatile, Left-Side Pairings
I can handle a little angst and a little melodrama, but not stories where the shou takes charge and the gong is passive, or where the gong gets toyed with. I don't think that's a sign of loving the gong more.
Heartwarming Reads to Stockpile

Top 12
For readers with no dealbreakers. No objections accepted~
Sorry, I Have Weird Taste, Orz
I like good writing, good plots, strong chemistry, and stories that make sense. I can't stand heroines who are constantly being watched by cameras, or ones who get shared by a bunch of men and are smug about it... There are a few more conventional ones too (?)

Will you wait for Xiao Lianling's extra episode today? [Continue]
You are my god. How could you describe the relationship between two proud and stubborn people so well? I understand the pain and hesitation of the male protagonist very well. I also feel that the female protagonist is too charming and tough. No matter what, please continue to be happy.
Love this book so much! Super love!
It's great that they are still happy. So far, the author has said: "In reality, this is the ending." The pain it caused me still continues to this day. This is the meaning of the world of the novel. In this world, their future has countless possibilities.
I am very happy to see this episode during the New Year, and I seem to feel a little bit of Funny happiness. Thank you for the big gift! ! Happy New Year!
I found out a few days late, but luckily it's still the Christmas holiday, Merry Christmas!
Is there a further future for them? I would like to ask [crying] [crying] [crying]
Don't we, Lingling, have any benefits today? [Crying]
I only saw the extras updated in 2025 in 2026. .
Just stay happy like this [Orange Candy]
