Synopsis

/Temporarily unavailable due to copyright issues. Read on other platforms./

The print edition has been contracted and published under the title Listening to the South.

What is a rose? A head grown for the sake of being cut off., Adonis

Xia Tingnan starts a new job and takes the bus home every day. Each time, she sees Xu Bingran, who has pursued her for years, so she silently lifts the book in her hands to hide her face.

Much later, she and Xu Bingran get together. When she sees how handsome he looks in his police uniform, Xia Tingnan starts to wonder if she was blind before.

This story includes: he falls for her first; childhood sweethearts; two parts, one set in school and one in the city, with more of the story taking place in the city.

A quiet, slow-paced slice of life. The male lead suffers; both leads have their flaws.

I’m not a good writer, and the story has no logic. It’s just a story, so don’t take it too seriously. The whole novel is free. If you don’t like it, don’t force yourself to read it.

Theme: Which comes first, tomorrow or the unexpected?

The Male Lead Secretly Loves Her

I never get tired of stories where the man has a secret crush on the woman. I picked a few from my reading list; they're all from ages ago.

Male Leads Get Put Through the Wringer (Some Have Minor Flaws)

The male leads are almost always virgins, and none of them successfully win back the heroine after losing her! The heroines are generally not the sweet, kind, and beautiful type. (I'll update this when I find a good story where the man gets put through the wringer.)

Mostly romance, including stories with no couples. Some are sweet, some angsty. I'm a little picky, and my ratings are very subjective.

For Female-Lead Fans Who Like Seeing Men Suffer: Male-Lead Fans, Stay Away

BG, with a little GB. These are all stories I really love, so female-lead fans can dive right in. All kinds of male and female leads. P.S. Lots of these would get five stars from me, but JJ's rating system is garbage.

Weird and Random, Not All to My Taste

The male leads behave virtuously (one exception is marked), though there may be minor flaws in other areas. They have their charms, and I can accept them. Some may feature mutual pining.

Romance Novels from a Decade of Reading

These are all romance novels I love. I'm not picky about spice, I don't read much female-lead angst, and I don't mind whether the leads are exclusive to each other. As long as it's well written, I'm in.
