The Eight Bitters of Life
A personal list of BE stories I've read.
Decent BG Reads for Mainstream Tastes
Mostly campus and urban settings. All the female leads have agency, but their personalities vary widely. Some are quite gentle, while most are very independent. The male leads are devoted to their wives, and their little guys are kept under lock and key.
Romance
Romance, BG, updated occasionally
Incredibly, Incredibly Good Reads!
Collecting novels I think are especially good
No CP or Little Romance, In My Opinion
This started out as a Mid-Autumn Festival task list, but now it's a collection of stories I personally think are good. They all have no romance, or are romance stories where dating isn't a major focus. I'll keep adding to it.
Hidden Gems
A masterpiece
Some Are Great, Others Are Pretty Good
Saving this for later
Plan to Read
Some het romance stories I'm really interested in. Bookmarking them and rating them by how interested I am... Going entirely by memory. I've finished some and left reviews.
Heartwarming Reads to Stock Up On
Stories that passed you by over the years. Hope to meet you again while stocking up on reads for the cozy winter.
Novels I've Read Twice
Some of these are available to borrow from the Chinese-language sections of libraries in various California cities. I read them again.
My Personal Reading List
I love stories with wild, imaginative premises. I read both BL and BG, but I also have plenty with no CP.

Contemporary Romance
Modern romances I personally think are good
Some Underrated Stories I Quite Liked
Stories with fewer than 50,000 favorites. Romance, danmei, and no-couple stories, with quality all over the place and a huge variety of genres. Some are purely to my taste.
My Type A
Fits my preferences
Male-Lead Bottom Fans
I want to pamper this male protagonist
Don't Read These, They're All Pretty Much the Same and a Bit Too Devoted
I prefer contemporary romance, so I haven't read many. Good ones are so hard to find. Please, everyone, send me recommendations!
Taking the Initiative Doesn't Guarantee Results
Some lesser-known novels.
School Life + Urban Fiction
Mostly stories where the girl has a crush on the guy~ Just my personal taste
Male Leads I Like
Youthful, gentle, cool and aloof, strong and steady at heart, resilient, and more willing to give and sacrifice than to receive.

Yan Yu is a beauty that does not belong to this world. So he lived too hard in this world. Li Li found Yan Yu and hoped that Yan Yu and Li Li would live a good life in the glass world.
2026.9.24 16:40 Finished reading As the author said, everyone has a plan B. Although I don't think I will, so be it
Yan Yu deserves all the best things in the world, so I don't accept the text's be. The extra is the real finale. They live happily every day
Yan Yu and Li Li were so moved that they burst into tears. I hope Yan Yu and Li Li in the parallel world can live happily forever.
Alas, the sense of immersion is too strong!!!
I finished reading the full text on November 14, 2025, and I couldn't calm down for a long time. The author's writing is extremely delicate, and Yan Yu's fragility, strength, darkness, and sunshine, and Li Li's strength, unyielding, and enthusiasm are very three-dimensional. The direction of the story is actually closer to reality. In real life, the attitude of Ding and many members of the association is the majority. Everyone is a pusher, creating this environment and promoting a situation that is difficult to reverse. Yan Yu's final swan song is another kind of struggle and self-salvation. The world of patients with depression is incomprehensible to ordinary people and cannot be put into perspective. Over time, family members will feel burdened and ink-stained, wondering why they can't get over something, but they never really dig into why they can't get over it, why they can't get over it, what kind of damage it has caused, and how they can get over it. And Li Li's appearance was just a beam of light that illuminated Yan Yu, making his extremely dark spiritual world once brighter. Yan Yu also held on tightly, but it was too difficult, all the struggles were too difficult, both externally and internally, it was like a worm shaking a tree. I hope everyone can meet their own Lili, warm and firm.
It's so uncomfortable that I don't even dare to watch the ending, so I just plan B
I cried so much that I never want to read such a painful novel again!
