Mostly BG, plus one GB. Feel-good stories, angst, female tops, and love for love-triangle showdowns.
Everyone's Favorite
Some have multiple endings, some have just one, and there are a few I haven't finished and put aside. I've included notes on everything I remember.
Being a Mary Sue Is a Vibe
A universal love interest with multiple admirers? A harem and a Mary Sue? It's just a certain vibe~ I've combined this with my list of novels featuring crazy male leads. *The quality varies wildly. Tossing out the ones that are all payoff and no substance.
Scheming / Morally Ambiguous Heroines
Kind, innocent flower heroine × self-serving / only cares about money / unkind / villainess / unfaithful / throws off the shackles of morality (seduction) (Please support the official version)

Keeping a record of what I’ve finished
All-Characters Ship, Love Triangle, Everyone Loves the Main Character, Mary Sue, Choose Your Ship
A collection of stories with female protagonists, all genres. I like love triangles, sibling rivalries, aristocratic academies, comic fanfiction, villainess stories, Mary Sues, and characters adored by everyone, as well as nonhuman characters and scheming women. Generally no female-female rivalry, and very few 1v1 romances.

Collection of Bad Women
Calling them bad is a compliment. Refined egoists, villainesses, bad girls, man-eaters, men-torturers, scheming green-tea girls, and Mary Sues. Judge them by my star ratings.
Sophisticated Egoists
Selfish, self-serving, money-loving heroines. P.S. They look out for themselves. (Very detailed categories)

I started to be fascinated by this story. There was really a lot of tension between the heroine and Wen, and the foreshadowing about Tang and Qi was also very attractive. But as the heroine really hurt Wen like this for money and a house, I started to feel very angry again. She has a warm and harmonious native family, and was admitted to top 2 (I understand it should be T major), with such beautiful appearance and superb emotional intelligence. It should not be difficult to meet a good boy and have a good relationship. I couldn't understand why she would choose to enter such a world of floating desires, and what pushed her to embark on such a path of deception and self-exile. In the second half of the book, it is said that she gradually became less concerned about money as she owned more things. I thought it was a process of striving for more, but in the end, she ignored everything and determined the direction of Dumei. But the reappearance of Wen at the end and her confession to Qi that she just needs someone to control made me feel that she is still in such a game-playing attitude. But she obviously brought her parents to meet her, right? This is such a formal thing. Her parents are happy about it and happy that she has found a good partner. How will I explain it to my parents later? Of course, this is a novel, and the behavior of the heroine and the heroes cannot be evaluated according to the logic of real life. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain that a girl who made up her experience and relied solely on her beauty and emotional intelligence could so easily deceive others' sincerity. When a young man who has seen the world is deceived, his first reaction is not to defend his rights and fight back, but to self-mutilate and repeatedly seek peace. I am very grateful to this novel, it made me realize again how beautiful a simple life and true love are. Maybe the heroine just met the wrong person at the beginning. It is difficult to satisfy material desires, not to mention using money donated by others, and you cannot realize the happiness and sense of value of working to satisfy yourself. I think the value of coming to a good platform or meeting a good person is not immediately realized. But start from this and think about what I can do to make this platform proud of me. Anyway, no matter what you do, it should not be through simple request or even embezzlement. I hope that the heroine will meet the version of herself she wants to be in the art study she loves.
Fortunately, I ordered them all, but I feel like the teacher ended things in a bit of a hurry, because I always feel that the Tang brothers should be in trouble. Tang brother came to Shanghai to learn things from his brother and then nothing happened. I don't know if this competitive line has been cut off. Also, the line about Zhao Zhao in college seems not to be written in detail, such as the group of classmates who mocked her and her acquaintance with Tang Di. The main text only describes Zhao Zhao's current appearance, but I would like to thank the teacher for writing such a vivid character of Zhao Zhao. Just like a passage in the comment section that I like very much, Zhao Zhao's becoming "bad" is not her fault, but a social disease, which grabs beautiful girls and leads them downward. A beautiful girl stepped into the glamorous big city but prematurely saw its malicious side. It was not her fault that she was bullied and ridiculed. These malicious intentions led her to try to climb up by any means. Fortunately, the people she met along the way were not bad people who were willing to put effort into loving her. Moreover, Zhao Zhao is also a very smart and hard-working girl. She will invest in doing homework for her personality and be well prepared before taking advantage of her. Girls who are willing to work hard and put effort into her will not have bad luck. Although there were many twists and turns along the way, fortunately, Zhao Zhao finally found a path she really wanted to take. I don't know whether her path was good or bad. I hope Zhao Zhao in the parallel world can live a truly happy life, be with her parents, and preferably meet some close friends and besties! Finally, I would like to thank the author again for creating Zhaozhao, a very vivid and real girl. I look forward to Zhizhi's story in the future (bixin)
This ending is right. The heroine will not be bound by anyone and can do what she wants. Love is just a spice to accompany her.
It feels like a lot of things ended before they even started, such as the heroine going to college, Tang Di going to Shanghai, the heroine going to Beijing to prepare to study abroad, it was like filling out the outline casually and sending it out, and it suddenly ended.
It actually sucked... It ended without any warning.
Not enough. I feel like these men can't let go, especially Qi Tong who has never been in the scene before.
I quite like it, but in my heart I still hope there will be a separate ending for the heroine and other male supporting characters. Maybe it's because I'm a vulgar person, but I hope the heroine feels happy in a real sense and likes this kind of happy reunion.
It's a good read. I love reading it. The only drawback is that it's too short. I feel like I could read another 800 chapters. I haven't read enough yet. Hehe.
It's so rushed. I feel like I could have written hundreds of chapters. I feel like all I've written is a synopsis of the plot, but I haven't expanded on it at all. It's a pity that this subject matter is too good.
The ending is a little rushed. I feel like there is still a lot of room for writing. I wonder if I can refine it and add some other plots~
