Highly Recommended Sweet Reads
These are my favorite sweet little bedtime reads. Short stories are such a treat?? (I'll keep adding more as I find good ones!)
Protagonist-Centric, Slightly Shou-Focused Sweep (2025–26)
A mixed bag, with a strong preference for shou protagonists. I favor the shou almost unconditionally; my one hard limit is a gong who isn’t sexually inexperienced. I’m not too fond of coercive romance. The protagonist may be timid and overpowered, or strong with an even stronger partner.
GBG Romance Recommendations
I have a soft spot for making men suffer, groveling exes, and loyal, love-struck men. Cute stuff: men taking birth control, male homewreckers, and romance with nonhumans (the fluffy kind). Deal-breakers: imprisonment and disrespect toward the heroine.
Precious Girls, Treasures of the World
(On indefinite hiatus) Men who aren't virgins don't deserve to live. I'm a heroine stan and only want pure male leads: the male characters' bodies, hearts, and reputations must belong exclusively to the heroine.
Lively Heroines
All kinds of female protagonists. Most are ongoing. Some have no CP, some have a male lead who's just window dressing, and some are harem-rivalry stories

It's a short short story that doesn't take time. It's very interesting. Tao Yuan gives me a very pure and straightforward feeling. She knows what she wants. She wants to explore sex due to the pressure brought by her career. She also wants to find a sexual relationship that balances work during her rising period. The storyline with Xia Xingzhou also helps Tao Yuan to clearly distinguish her feelings for Jiang Shu. If she likes this person's body, sleep with him, and if she likes this person, fall in love with him. Tao Yuan can face her own desires and let go. It tastes better when the male secret love is in the background. This is why I don't like to read secret love stories from the female protagonist's perspective. Rather than reading descriptions of how painful and unbearable the female protagonist is, I prefer to see the male protagonist sinking into the whirlpool and bowing to love. Without Taro Yuan's knowledge, Jiang Shu has been waiting and enduring for many years. It is indeed a very simple fairy tale. The plot of Jiang Shu crying at the end is too sweet. Tears and chastity are a man's best dowry!
Love this setting! ! ! However, it is a pity to write it as a short story. The ending seems a bit too hasty. The heroine's relationship change is not clear. Maybe I am tired of it because the heroine confesses that he has a secret crush and then the heroine changes her mind. The second male lead is also very good and I like it, so I make a lot of comparisons [Comparison]
The last few chapters and the ending are really stuck in my throat. If I really prefer Jiang, I might as well just write a 1v1 sweet cookie, but the copy marked female not male c, and also said that the heroine will have other relationships. In the end, the heroine is just a cannon fodder. She only appeared in less than three chapters. Is it necessary? ? ? Regardless of the reason, it's hard to watch. I thought the heroine's other relationships would take up at least one-third of the page.
Try different men? It's just a second male lead who is also cannon fodder. This is a sweet story about the male protagonist having a successful crush. It didn't match my expectations after reading the text. I might as well not read the last chapter.
Want? Extra, sorry? I don't like Xia very much, because in my heart, Jiang Shu is very good, and Taro Yuan is also very good. I hope to watch their sweet little daily life
I will never force you to revise your essay again! ! It's really fun to read 20,000 words in a row! ! Thank you madam! There are so many words in this chapter that are well written. Especially the sentence "The doorbell rang" in the finale reminded me of the sentence in Mr. Yu Hua's book "Emotional stupidity is like a house with closed doors and windows, although the footsteps of love I heard it as I walked back and forth in front of the house, but I thought they were footsteps passing by, footsteps heading towards someone else. Until one day, this step stopped here. Then, the doorbell rang. " Absolute, absolutely amazing! I love you! I love Xiao Jiang and Yu Yuan too! (I don't really love Xiaoxia. I feel like he's just looking for sex! Of course, I didn't mean to say anything bad about him! Don't scold me!) Thank you, Mrs. [Kiss] [kiss]
I finished reading it. I like the ending. I like Taro Yuan and Xiao Jiang being together.
If this is breaking, take all the [love eyes]
Why is the copywriting chapter different from what I thought? European leakage. You can torture the male protagonist more
Teacher, you write well. You talk too much, so I won't write more. It really gave me a lot of feelings [crying] [crying] [crying]
