Great reads with all kinds of heroines and female supporting characters, worth coming back to again and again. Jinjiang has been ruthlessly purging stories about women, so after finishing the older ones, I stopped updating this list.
They All Have Something Special That Makes Them Stand Out, Highly Recommended
I’m a protagonist stan. How could anyone not like the protagonist? They must be pretending. A collection of niche BL from years ago and my favorite stories from the rise of women’s consciousness in recent years.
A Roundup of Books I Can Reread Over and Over (Ongoing)
I read a bit of everything. This is a personal roundup, with a preference for slice of life, comedy, sports, fanfiction, farming, infinite flow, cultivation, and more. Really, I'll read anything (●v●)
Great Reads
I read anything and love sweet stories
Male-Lead Fans, Stories That Torture the Men
I love strong female leads, and I love weak ones too. I'll accept any kind of female protagonist. No trashy womanizers who lack basic decency. I love watching men tear each other apart, though pure romance is fine too.
Romance
Saved
Mary Sue Heroines and Heroine Fans
This is exactly what I love: long live the female leads who have everyone falling for them! The world of female-oriented fiction should revolve around its heroines! Let all that love pour toward the girls! (I'll add more in the comments from time to time.)
Some Decent Female-Centric Stories
Keeping track of my reading list, and helping everyone avoid duds
Stress Relief and Maintenance
I take off a star for any obvious romance with men. Since I can't give four or five stars anymore, I've started adding content warnings. Please tell them apart.
Older Woman-Younger Man Romance
Making a new book list for the task.
For Female-Lead Fans (Updated November 13)
I'm a female-lead fan with lots of dealbreakers, and I drop books quickly. I can't stand seeing the heroine get pushed around, and I like her to take the lead. A male lead with no romantic history is the bare minimum. I'll mark any dealbreakers.
Sharing Some Stories with Strong Female Leads
An unapologetic female-lead stan: a mom to female leads who dotes on them unconditionally. My star sign is apparently "torturing men." The books recommended here vary in how strongly they cater to female-lead fans, so check the notes and choose for yourself.
Female Lead, No Male Virginity Requirement
Chastity is a man's best dowry
A Chaste Man's Best Dowry (1): 50 Books
Straight romance. I can only guarantee the male lead is a virgin; I can’t guarantee anything else, so read at your own risk if you have dealbreakers. In the 1v1 endings, the male lead is a virgin. In the reverse-harem stories, all the guys are virgins! Some are unfinished.
Female-Love Stories I've Read, Still Ongoing
This series is a bit complicated. It includes unfinished books, books I haven’t read, and books I haven’t read yet.
Books for Female-Lead Fans
Some pretty good books, though I can’t promise everyone will like them.
Satisfied Reads for Female-Lead Fans
Romance plots where the female protagonist has an absolute advantage. Male suffering and female/non-male pairings are such a blessed concept. Mostly male-rivalry battle royales, with a little female-protagonist power progression, infinite flow, and other genres.
A Collection for Female-Lead Fans
Limited space means I can't give detailed reviews or thoroughly flag potential issues. Check the tags and decide for yourself; I can't guarantee these are completely free of triggers. [This list includes sexual romance.]
Highly Rated Romance with Strong Heroines, Tormenting the Men, and Love Triangles
Career-focused: the romance takes up less than half the story, so I classify it as a romance. Stories about powerful women in love, with devoted pursuers, male rivals vying for her, or men getting their hearts broken.
Female Lead, Non-C Male Lead
City of Virtue
Strong Female Leads
The heroine should focus on her career and herself! Girls are the best!
Romance with a Female-Protagonist-Obsessed Reader
I love all of these, and there's a bit of everything. I prefer gender-bender, strong female leads, and universally adored heroines. Everyone has different squicks, so feel free to flag anything in the comments!
Age Difference
Stewed in one pot every year
Girls' Love

I came across the setting of this article by chance and thought it was interesting, so I read it. To be honest, there has been a literary shortage recently. There are so many romance articles now. It's very difficult for me to find a novel with a theme other than falling in love. Most of the articles that come up when I search for tags without cp are unlimited articles, and I don't want to read them. I think the setting of this book is very good, and the age difference is completely acceptable. In fact, what I feel is not just two men and women with a very large age gap in love, but a simple soul being attracted to another soul, resulting in a wonderful chemical reaction. I like it very much. I think I can just focus on Li Zhirui's life and write about her awakening, her growth, her feelings, and her lover. Thanks to the author for his hard work in writing this article. I really like it.
I was laughing so hard. I thought I was doing something when I huffed and puffed in the middle. It turned out that I was climbing a mountain. I was laughing so hard. Finished spreading flowers!
This male protagonist is like a puppy, so you can keep him
Sahuahua, I really like every female character in the article. They are full of vitality and vitality, which makes people excited to watch. Finally, I confess to Li Xun and live the life I want!
Oh yeah oh yeah! In fact, I feel that the author's plot is quite good! ! ! The writing is also very good! There are too few female authors on the market! There will definitely be a lot of support later!
Hahahahahahahaha, you are indeed a little naughty man
I also tried rock climbing last time. The first time I was too excited and I didn't know how hard I would use my arms. After I got down, my arms were very sore. I later learned that you also have to use your legs hard when climbing.
Great! I like grandma so much!
Very good, very good. Li Zhirui thought more clearly than me and let a female director shoot it. As for Prince Xiao, he is the addition to her life. It's good. I'm very optimistic about Shen Wenzhi, Li Xun will definitely be excellent, and there are others. They will get better and better and live a wonderful life. Nice to meet Li Zhirui, thank you author.
The author's love for the female characters cannot be hidden. Thank you author, this article is great.
