The appeal is all about the act: acting strong, pretending not to care, and putting on a convincing front. Sweet on the outside, dark within, scheming, calculating, and a little sinister.
Looking for Some Intense Romantic Tension: BG
Ordinary fluffy romances don't move me anymore. Now I want novels with bittersweet tension, domineering love, intense love triangles, groveling exes, and ghostly men.

My tastes: crazy, vicious, dark, or sinister tops; arrogant elites who force themselves on honest, ordinary people; playboys who turn over a new leaf; aloof beauties who finally lower their heads; and couples who are perfectly matched to rein each other in
Romance Novels I Keep Rereading

My Reading List (BG)
I have a soft spot for thoughtful female leads or scheming, devious male leads. Above all, the characters need to feel like real people.

Comments from Yi Nanping First of all, the author's writing style is impeccable, full of pictures, and his emotional descriptions are delicate and restrained. The rest is the setting of plot and content. The beginning of this article raises the reading XP threshold very high. The setting is bold and novel, and it is unique among Jinjiang's many time-traveling fairy tales and dark villains. The early part was particularly exciting. I even watched it at five in the morning, catching up to Chapter 30 or 40 in one go. I spent the rest of the day watching the rest of the story, and the article developed in a direction far away from expectations. In terms of character design: the characters in the article are clearly created, and the protagonists and supporting characters have their own strengths and weaknesses and are lifelike. Especially the heroine's family line. As the plot progresses in the later stages, the male protagonist's biological mother appears, and the story reveals little by little that the tragedy of the heroine and her brother's lack of love in childhood is not caused by one person, but by the superposition of causes and effects. Everyone has their own hatred, but it's just from different perspectives and different perspectives. This pattern is opened to a high degree. In addition, the heroine is humorous and sober, and she is the eldest daughter of the family. The male protagonist is heartless and puts profit first, and his hidden madness is ready to come into play. The male supporting actor is a scumbag and a waste of time. My younger brother, Chun Chun, is under the age of madness. The third male lead, Jiang Siyuan, is extremely forbearing. The female protagonist and any male supporting character are all a sexy CP line. Personally, it is an absolute pity that the emotional drama between the heroine and Jiang Siyuan did not unfold. If the heroine is sober and carefree, she and the hero are only engaged by contract and usually take photos and do business, but she will know it in private. On the surface, I can get along with the male protagonist and his co-star (the eldest lady is well-informed and free-spirited), but in essence, they are not the same kind of people. There is still a trace of pure love for Jiang Siyuan in the corner of my heart, which will be more touching. Especially after seeing through the bad nature of the male protagonist, Jiang is indeed rare. The development of the story starts from four nodes, and the story goes wrong. 1. From the first time the heroine dedicated herself to the hero for her brother, the comment section here started to say that it was a bit broken. I didn't realize it at the time. Maybe the author's writing style was too good (it is natural that the younger brother is still a member of the Sheng family and would not help the opposing outsider Li family); 2. Then the sudden death of the younger brother began, and this touching branch line that should have been extended came to an abrupt end. Looking back, in fact, this also hints at the unfolding of the 1V1 line of the story between the male and female protagonists. The interesting points of the whole text are piled on the male character of the male protagonist; 3. Then the male protagonist unscrupulously forces her to do something again and again, and the female protagonist has no choice. In fact, it is not inconsistent to look at the male protagonist's character alone - his paranoia, poisonous tongue and desire for control have already laid a lot of foreshadowing in the previous article. (The plot of the second female protagonist in the previous article has also been a foreshadowing of the male protagonist's character and cannot tolerate rejection by others unless he lets go.) It's okay for the characters to be interesting even if they are not OOC. But the heroine has been submissive so many times that her character has shifted slightly. I personally thought that the heroine who was sober, cute and humorous at the beginning was taken over, leaving only cuteness and humor. It is hopeless to chase his wife at the crematorium. It cannot be ruled out that the heroine has no confidence in her life experience; 3. The final breaking point is the revelation of the heroine's miserable life experience and its lack of reversal, which establishes the weak situation of the heroine in front of the male protagonist. Chasing his wife in the crematorium is completely hopeless (the male supporting actor in the article said that only if his financial status is higher than that of the male protagonist, he will be convinced) To sum up, at the end of the story, the heroine is reduced to the petty wife of a domineering president. Unknowingly, I embarked on the path of becoming the second female lead in Kaiwen. Finally, I would like to thank the author for bringing us this story [Rose] [Rose]. Perhaps the story also leaves room for our imagination. In another time and space, otherwise, the male protagonist would have such a bad character. Unless she is better than him, the female protagonist's life experience is reversed, breaking his paranoid pride and shattering his arrogance of putting interests first. Happy ending at Chasing Wife Crematorium. Otherwise, the heroine and campus Bai Yueguang Jiang Siyuan reunited and stayed together. The male protagonist protects his bad ending
The relationship between the younger brother and the heroine's family is indeed very tense. Even though I looked at the main character column carefully at first (for fear of getting the wrong CP), I still liked the relationship between the heroine and the younger brother better after watching it. Neither the ring nor the younger brother are good people, and I can quite accept the male protagonist's misdeeds. But the male protagonist is so crazy that he doesn't have the feeling of a younger brother: that kind of lawless cruelty that gives up everything, reputation, life, and wants to be with the female protagonist. In comparison, the male protagonist lacks a lot of flavor. Later on, the plot also moves from reality to fairy tale. I feel like the male protagonist is a bit occ... Mainly, the male protagonist is against the female protagonist. The essence is no different from the artistic girlfriend. The male protagonist can't break it off without saying goodbye. Therefore, people cannot see the specialness of the male protagonist's unwillingness to let go of the female protagonist, and it is impossible to believe that the ending will be such a fairy tale-like love. Although I prefer the heroine's brother line, this article is still worth reading.
The younger brother is more normal in the other book, but I still like him better. The ring is too poisonous. The male protagonists in the author's novels are very poisonous. Although he shows that he loves the heroine, he can't stand the poison. The younger brother is at least because of the heroine. He is crazy because of the heroine. The wholeheartedness of the heroine is the only one that makes people feel reassured. The ring feels like he will cheat on her not long after getting married.
This book is so exciting, I felt like jumping up and down in a melon field.
I stayed up all night watching it. It was so enjoyable. I would have liked some extra episodes. I just wanted to see Li Gou being manipulated to death.
In fact, the male protagonist is licking the dog from the beginning to the end. Being unclean is something that happened before he met the female protagonist, so it doesn't seem to matter at all. Moreover, he is very tough-tongued and strikes quickly and cruelly... The author's writing is so smooth and refreshing [dog's head holding a rose] [poor] [orange candy]
Starting from the time when the younger brother went offline, the development of the story was a bit sloppy.
After watching two extra episodes, I discovered that the ring is actually very similar to Yize from "The Actress Wants a Divorce"! (Character aspect) They are all selfish, rational and crazy.
I have been reading this book for 15 years and finally found a good one! I watched Huang Ying first and then Yan. I still like Chang Geng's personality better hahahahaha. Chen Yan is a little bit naughty sometimes. Chang Geng's character is really neat, but he hasn't tortured the male protagonist enough. The story of chasing his wife will be more perfect. The male protagonist puts his interests first and gives in step by step for the female protagonist. He lowers the bottom line again and again. I really want to see the male protagonist's mental journey hahahaha.
It's really awesome and so bloody. After reading it, I felt that the author is a very interesting person. I stayed up all night to finish reading it.
