Name: Countdown to the Wedding
Author: Qiao Yao

Synopsis

Back in high school, everyone knew that You Jue's best friend, Fang Jialin, liked Ni Xia.

Later, Fang Jialin confessed and was rejected. Watching his best friend spend every day heartbroken, You Jue could only think: What a loser.

Was it really worth it over a woman who was so two-faced and toyed with people's feelings?

Years later, their class held a reunion.

Fang Jialin traveled a thousand miles to attend, his gaze fixed on Ni Xia the whole time, his feelings for her plain to see.

Their classmates thought, After all these years, Fang Jialin still likes Ni Xia. What a devoted guy.

Meanwhile, You Jue sat in a corner, head down as he played on his phone. He didn't care about his best friend or the tangled romances among their classmates.

That is, until Ni Xia suddenly spotted her university roommate, a guy surnamed Gong, walking by and called out excitedly, “Old Gong!”

Before anyone else could react, You Jue looked up impatiently. “What now?”

The classmates: ???

Coconut Silk Will Reread These When Bored

Modern romance. My tastes are all over the place. Mostly novellas and short stories, some healing, some distinctive. No cookie-cutter setups here

Romanticized Power Dynamics

I only read BG and share some shamelessly sappy romances. Lots of older-man/younger-woman and brother-sister pairings. I just love watching two people fall in love and dance around each other. It makes my heart feel so good.

Great BG Novels

For my own use. Firmly 1v1. I like romance-driven stories, and a high concentration of romance is a plus. Late-night impulse reads might get inflated ratings. My taste is pretty basic. See the reviews for details.
