Explore more →Pure Love, Mutual Devotion (All-Pairings Version)
Mostly a record of stories I’ve read. I enjoy seme-focused, uke-focused, and switch pairings. I’m not GK or SK, and I’ll read pretty much any genre. My only deal-breaker is when the main couple doesn’t love each other enough.
For the Record
Historical or infinite-world BL. I've been reading for years, so these should be pretty reliable (right?). I'm leaving out the absolute classics.
Xuanhuan Stories
May include serious drama, old-school stories, cultivation and spiritual growth, and melodramatic stories.
A List of Top-Male-Lead Novels About an Innocent Guy Getting Dumped
If you don't want a list of books where a poor soul watches a desperate artsy type wrestle with a melodramatic soul, just swipe left and leave. Oh, Kun? The Crab-Rangling God is guiding you across.
For Personal Use
Jinjiang's mysterious collection system doesn't show everything. If I forget the title, I'll make a list on Jinjiang.
2026 Dawn Cup Preliminary Reading List
The tentative pre-selected book list is for the judges to take advantage of, and the scores are random (beat up the tube X)
Top-Protagonist: A Couple Giving Each Other Their Whole Hearts
They’re all five-star reads, but the site won’t let me give them five stars... (sad). Mostly for fans of mutually doting couples. Those with strong ship preferences or character-control preferences should proceed with caution. May these couples stay together forever.
Things I Love to Read
Making a list to collect the books I love. I’ve basically bought everything I add here (I think). There are both gong-focused and shou-focused stories; I’m pretty omnivorous.
Some Hidden Gems, But High Quality
The kind of quality writing that suits my tastes
Top-Centric Stories (Not Necessarily Mutual Pampering, but No Weak-in-Bed Tops)
I like strong, self-indulgent tops who make an exception for love; I like the tops and bottoms yearning for each other, hate-to-love sex, and mutual pampering. Both sweet and melodramatic stories. I can't stand everyone-falls-for-the-protagonist setups, weak bottoms, insectoid races, or bland tops.
Pure-Love Treats: Two Love-Brained Fools in Disguise
Danmei, 1v1. I prefer older partners / raising someone / handsome × handsome / dominant × cute / doglike × doglike / cool × warm & still × active. I'll read anything else, too. For the most part, I like the work, not the author.
Give Me Some Protagonist-As-Attack Stories
Just browsing and reviewing. No content warnings, no playing both sides, no recommendations. Gksk, stay away. I prefer charming, handsome tops with puppy-dog energy. I can only guarantee a 1v1 pairing where both parties are deeply in love.
For My Own Reference
For ensemble stories, the world can be huge, but the main couple comes first. I read according to my tastes and save the stories I like best. I may have a slight preference, but there won’t be any characters reduced to background props or glaringly unequal treatment.
Top-Centric BL with Mutual Devotion
Some top-centric stories I enjoy. I'm a fan of handsome tops and beautiful bottoms. I don't have many dealbreakers or a particular bias; most are younger tops. One-on-one is a must. Slowly searching…
Top POV, One-on-One Romance
I read gong-focused, gong-leaning, shou-leaning, and mutually doting couples, but only 1v1. I’m not into everyone-loves-the-protagonist plots, one-sided crushes, weak gongs, or muscular shous. I prefer strong gongs and beautiful shous, or two strong leads.
My Loves
Books I think are good. I haven't finished some of them or haven't read enough to judge yet, so I'll hold off on reviewing those for now.
A Mutual-Doting Reading List for Readers with No Particular Ship Preferences
I'll read any genre as long as the couple dotes on each other. I have more squicks than raindrops, though.
To Be Read
Ones I’d actually read.
Wuxia/Xianxia or Senior-Junior Brother Romance
Love these
2025 Picks
My favorite books from 2025.
Completed Danmei
Original fiction.
CPJ-Friendly Reads
No control freaks, no Mary Sues, and no shippers who fetishize either the top or the bottom. This list features lesser-known, readable pairings rather than the most popular ones.
Top Male Lead
My favorite top-focused stories, with two strong leads and a devoted one-on-one relationship
Records
Generally, stories focused on the bottom.

They are a really cute little couple. I am actually quite afraid of the drama of sacrificing the one they love for the sake of the world. It's great that Xinwen and An Dao have always regarded each other as the most important existence. At first, I didn't really like this world view. There was a sense that the world is hopeless and gloomy. It is full of scum, but in fact it is not the case. They have always adhered to their roots. People with a heart, even if they are villains, have their own insistence on what they pursue and care about. Although while reading the article, I often hope that these guys will log off the line early and stop bringing more pain to Xiao Yang and Xiaochen. I always feel that their life is too pitiful and they should be happier. But if the villains log off in an extremely hasty way, I might also have regrets. It's fine now, a fitting ending for everyone. In fact, Xiao Chen and Xiao Yang have always been very proactive, and their fate has always only depended on themselves, so even though they often feel that the two of them are in love with Xiao Binggua, as a reader, I don't feel aggrieved. I really like the ending. They will eventually go to the distant place, and it is great to go to the place they once longed for. [Poor]
I stayed up for a few nights after reading it... It was so well written [crying] Xinwen and Andao, you two should be happy [crying] I really like Xinwen! ! ! It has flesh and blood and a human heart, a lifelike child [hugging thigh][hugging thigh] and some supporting characters that I really like! ! But I didn't see their follow-up later. I really want to know what happened to Ye Chengmei and the others in the end. Have they finished practicing their swords? And Xiaobai and Xiaoxu, these two good boys, what happened to them later? Were they involved? [Hold the thigh] [Hold the thigh] Did An Dao have a chance to see the people Xinwen protected? Will there be a chance to visit that peach blossom village? Will the brothers of the Third Master be reunited? [Hold your thighs] [Hold your thighs] I want to see these in Golden Land! ! Extra extra extra extra[hug the thigh][hug the thigh][hug the thigh]
I want a side story, I want a side story, I want a side story [crying] Please pamper me, the author is great, I really like Xin Wen and An Dao, please give me a good kiss
This huge book is so beautiful! I'm still in a daze after watching it
After reading it for a long time, I finally finished it. I read the teacher's long comment in the comment area. It was really well written and expressed my feelings... The author's writing style is really good. It seems that the two hundred chapters have really covered the twists and turns of An Dao and Xin Wen's first half of life [crying] I really like what the teacher wrote. The emotional line between the two, the small gestures and casual intimacy between the two made me feel very, very happy (I can only feel better if I see the interaction between the two of them in this story full of suffering). It is very, very good. I also want to read the 500 chapters of An Dao's heart-wrenching daily life [poor]. It is such a miserable world, everyone is complicated, and everyone wants different things... When I first saw my senior brother, I was very fond of him. The more I watched him, the more I wanted to beat him ten thousand times. I was so angry that I yelled on the bed in the middle of the night. Damn Ye Min, Master and Yuan Mu are really great. I haven't stopped crying since the master finally appeared. I cried and cried [burst]. The picture that the puppy imagined has always been lingering in my mind. My father, mother and brother, master and Yuanmu, Andao and Xinwen, how great it would be if it were true, no need to experience suffering, no need to suffer separation, and the loved ones will always be by my side. If such days could last forever, how great would it be...[Burst crying] Finally, I really have to sigh with emotion. The teacher's world view is so huge. I feel that the teacher has very detailed settings and many things are fully prepared before writing. It is such a grand world view [poor]. I was a little confused in the middle, but in the end everyone and everything were connected together. It was very, very shocking. This ending is also the best ending (the last few chapters are the happiest time for me to read this book...) Finally, I want to agree with Teacher Chang Ping. Lin Yuan asked if it was really good to get this name...! Although there are thousands of people, I will go. I really like An Dao and Xinwen. Can cats and dogs be happy forever? I also want to read your stories in the future until the end of the universe... We must be together forever [crying] [crying]
Please, author, I want to see their next extras, I really want to see them, please [crying]
It's so well written... I look forward to the teacher's next book!
One of the few people who has read a long novel, I finally finished it after spending several days and nights. I really like the smart and tough cat Brother Andao and the spirited dog Brother Xinwen. Their fate has been rotating since they met in the rain. They are brothers, masters and disciples, and confidants. Everyone in the world has their own plans for me. You and I are just for each other. No matter all the sins in the road ahead, I will bear them with you... Xinwen finally realized his dream of elopement with his brothers. Young lovers, you must be 99 and go further. (At this time, a senior brother and sister shed tears of joy qwq)
I brushed it four times [biting the handkerchief] [biting the handkerchief] [biting the handkerchief] Every time I look at it, I am so moved by the steadfast love of these two kittens and puppies that my eyes pee. . Golden Land, do you want to be good at writing it?
I really like this book😭😭It's so difficult and painful for the young couple who love each other so much and can elope in the end. It's great! ! !
