1. 1 静 Waiting for Three Meals 静候三餐 Fu Baozhen傅宝珍Romance177k WordsCompleted "On the surface, getting our marriage license after dating for two months makes it a whirlwind marriage. In reality, we've known each other for eleven years." "Have you ever had a fight?" "I don't think so. We've only given each other the silent treatment." "For how long?" "A year."

   Curator note

   This is a book by an author I particularly like. The writing style is very unique, delicate, and heartwarming. The character designs of the male and female leads are rare on Jinjiang Literature City; they are very refreshing, and the female lead is extremely cute. It's the kind of story that's not too dramatic and has a slightly fragmented plot. The second half is a bit bland and makes you feel a little down, but the part in the first half where there's no confession is really endearing! There are some potential triggers, but I personally don't want to list them (orz). However, there really are some, so I suggest searching for them on social media before reading.

2. 2 重 After Being Reborn, I Married My Archrival 重生后和宿敌结婚了 White Feather Drawing a Carved Bow白羽摘雕弓Romance862k WordsCompleted This story has been revised many times. The final version is the one on the official Jinjiang site. Blurb: Before Qun Qing died, she hated the powerful minister Lu Huating most of all. She hated his cunning and treachery as he helped the new emperor secure the throne. She thought about him day and night and tried everything she could, but she still couldn't beat him. In the end, she became a casualty at his hands. After Qun Qing died, she saw the fallen princess she'd given her life to protect 219kFavorites226.1kClicks/ch185.9kGifts

   I enjoy reading stories where the male and female leads scheme against each other, causing each other to die young and then both being reborn. [666] That's what rivals are all about—fighting to the death, evenly matched yet mutually admiring—it's delicious! The reason for the low score is the lack of major updates. It's such a pity. If it had maintained the quality of the first three chapters during its serialization, this book would have been a huge hit. I successfully recommended it to many friends by saying, "You absolutely have to read the first three chapters!" (Who would have thought it would be discontinued later? We all cried together). The first three chapters were particularly good; how could a novel have such a strong sense of nemesis? Although following the serialized story is painful, I will still read this author's new work because they are really good at writing. I recommend the episodes before the female lead returns to the palace, but I wouldn't recommend the later episodes as they feel a bit off. I haven't read the revised version by the author yet, so I don't know how good it is. Addendum: The political intrigue in this book is written in a somewhat farcical way, but the author also said it's more of an emotional story, so that's acceptable.

3. 3 权 Power Beneath Her Skirts 权倾裙下 Pudding Glaze布丁琉璃Romance608k WordsCompleted [Blurb 1] (Complete; exclusively published on Jinjiang Literature City) The crown prince is dead, leaving the Great Xuan Dynasty without an heir. Rebels are at the gates. To stabilize the situation and investigate her twin brother’s death, Princess Changfeng Zhao Yan has no choice but to put on men’s clothes and pretend to be the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, coughing blood at the slightest breeze. On the night she enters the Eastern Palace, the empress gives her countless warnings: “As 140.4kFavorites179kClicks/ch70.3kGifts

   A female prince disguised as a man × the prince's tutor (Regent version) I've recently become obsessed with stories about women dressing as men, and this one is pretty good. I recommend it! I remember following the serialization of this book a few years ago. This is my second reading. The beginning was okay, but it got a bit weaker later on, so I don't remember much about it. It would look better if the career line were emphasized a little more. Right now, it feels like the person is standing in the middle, like someone who scores 60 in every subject of an exam, without any particularly "heavy" or "outstanding" parts. You can check it out to kill time.

   This copywriting is really good, hahaha, I felt so bad for days after reading it [doge emoji] The jokes are novel, the socially awkward parts are hilarious, the segment comments are full of jokes and have a strong class vibe—all of these are worth savoring. The character development and plot are a bit weak. It can be read as a sweet romance novel, but it's not particularly engaging, so I only gave it four stars. The later episodes weren't very good. They created too much sweetness for the sake of sweetness, neglecting the characters' true personalities, which made it harder to ship them. [Lying down]

The writing is smooth and trustworthy; you can absorb them instantly after just a glance. The character designs (or rather, personalities) of the male and female leads are quite rare on Jinjiang Literature City; they're practically a match made in heaven. The female lead is a domineering CEO with incredible personal charm, while the male lead is a gentle and honest assistant. The author must be an emotionally stable and grounded person, which is reflected in their writing. Reading their work brings a sense of peace and tranquility, making it a very comfortable experience. How did I only just get to understand Jiang Yue Nian Nian! [Heart eyes] The second half got a little bland, and the female lead's career storyline was less developed (though it was really interestingly written). I got a bit tired of it towards the end.

My phobia of BL novels [plus one] and my dislike of the rebirth trope [plus one] led to this book gathering dust on my bookshelf for years before I finally picked it up... It was amazing and delicious! The market should have more well-rounded protagonists with both strengths and weaknesses [food]. I was indifferent at first, but when I saw the female lead's attitude towards a certain important supporting character, I couldn't help but be captivated. Such a living, normal person, so charming. The romance is also hard to describe; I've shipped so many couples and CPs, it's so sweet. The male and female leads are so adorable, the second male lead and the female lead are so adorable, the third male lead and the female lead are so adorable… The crazy tutor has a passionate teacher-student romance, the gentle, restrained, and arrogant civil official secretly loves the empress, the childhood sweetheart young general is always by her side, the princess and her best friend walk together for life… Every single one of them is so adorable, I'm shipping them all!

I've read six or seven of Xiao Jiaren's novels, and only this one has a slightly better ending. I really like this kind of slice-of-life style and the fact that the main characters are ordinary, normal people. It's sweet, with no plot, just pure romance. The subject matter wasn't particularly outstanding, but I'm giving it five stars because the author skillfully avoided every potential trigger for me, making the follow-up experience incredibly smooth. The plot unfolds layer by layer, and I'm totally like it: [question mark][loading][starry eyes][purple sugar] kdl. Hence, five stars.

But I was completely captivated by the female lead's growth and development! [Rainbow emoji] The female lead's character is so well-developed, she's wonderful! [Hug emoji] Since this book list includes stories that are easy to read, let's comment on the romance. The male lead is quite arrogant and his character is rather bland. The female lead's relationship with him feels like she's dating a two-dimensional character. While reading, I wasn't looking forward to the development of the romance; I was just secretly hoping that the female lead would thoroughly humiliate the male lead (yes, yes, yes, these parts are really good, so please look forward to them).

    A story about a woman disguised as a man, with a happy ending and a forced marriage (the author didn't add this tag). The conflict is well-written, showcasing a rare and elegant writing style on Jinjiang Literature City. The female lead is naturally attractive, which is extremely appealing. The plot is basically about her running away and him chasing her, unable to escape. The male lead repeatedly slaps his own face and goes crazy, while the female lead's career progresses simultaneously. The friendship storyline is also super engaging; it's a mood booster. I highly recommend writing a review for this book—you absolutely must! It's incredibly good! To be honest, this book isn't particularly worth reading a second time. The exciting parts are very straightforward, and you can put it down after finishing it. However, the comments section is really worth reading a second time.

    Having traveled back a hundred years, one is forced to board the Titanic. A delicious and well-received story strongly recommended by a friend. The romance revolves around Pride and Prejudice, with poor Carl being manipulated by Emily. A vibrant and charming survival-oriented female lead (brainstorming to save the whole ship) vs. A paranoid and crazy male lead who can't live without her (an arrogant capitalist bowing down). The plot is very tight, the writing has a cinematic quality, and the female lead is like a splash of red suddenly jumping out from a gray background—so vibrant and vivid! [Shy] Emily, give me a kiss! [Kiss] Sigh, I really don't know how to describe it. The female lead is truly a very vibrant and extraordinary woman. Several times I almost wanted to stop reading because I wasn't into their romantic storyline, but Emily is just so charming. I practically followed her solo scenes to finish the whole book. Five stars for the female lead and the author. What I don't like about him is that sometimes I can't understand the male lead's thought process (which is also why I don't really like crazy male leads... And how should I put it, this male lead gets beaten up all the time, and the reason he gets beaten up is because his madness has no tension whatsoever, it just makes you want to punch him. Well... To each their own, although I knew from the beginning that this was his character design, please don't attack me [lying down]). I always feel that Emily won't accept him so quickly, the author wrote it a bit hastily. (But it's understandable, after all, the ship is sinking, so there's no time to worry about anything else).

    A sweet romance novel about marriage before love blossoms. Sweet stories that usually get five stars are generally rated with hearts [yellow heart][yellow heart]. The standard is quite flexible, after all, it's not easy to survive on JJ. The main text and the synopsis are two separate pieces of content, and I don't understand why the synopsis is so abrupt, while the main text is more humorous. It perfectly bypasses both target audiences; I almost skipped this book while browsing. Maybe it's the author's twisted sense of humor… (Actually, there's not much of a plot. The main story is either about falling in love or on the way to falling in love. It's a sweet story to read without thinking too much. If you mind this, please proceed with caution.)

    Childhood sweethearts, the boy secretly loves her. It's short and reassuring. These days, stories are so long, with too much unnecessary description. I'm almost out of breath and can't keep going after reading half of it. This one is just right, not dragging at all [hug]. The physical book is beautifully printed in full color; I recommend everyone check it out (not an advertisement). This is a story about a boy's unrequited love, but it's actually an open romance. It tells the story of how the childhood sweethearts, the male and female protagonists, get together after growing up. It contains a small element of the entertainment industry. The author is a screenwriter, and the writing doesn't focus on big stars outshining others or slapping them in the face; instead, it focuses on the daily lives of ordinary working people in film and television. I personally liked the part where the male and female protagonists first started dating—familiar people, but having an awkward romance. (There are two flaws in the plot, which I personally found a little annoying, so I deducted one star [crying emoji]. But since it's a free novel, I've added the star back. If you mind, please read with caution.)

    A campus romance novel, set in high school in the early part and university in the later part. I love watching normal people date. The female lead is incredibly vibrant, like a lush, green tree that's pleasing to the eye [droopy-eared rabbit head]. Of all the novels I've read, this one gives me the strongest feeling of "whoever the female lead likes becomes the male lead." The male and female leads don't have any particularly deep ties or extraneous halos. The male lead is a surprisingly normal, unassuming beta-type character. He becomes the male lead purely because the female lead likes him, and she chooses him. Well, I don't know if this description is correct, but that's how I thought when I read the article, and that's what my friend thought after reading it too. This is a story from ten years ago. The writing style is very amateurish, but the writing is very inspired. You might want to take a look.

Although this book isn't as vivid as her other book, "Using Beauty to Commit Crimes," it's still very enjoyable.

    It's a story about a girl's unrequited love, but nine out of ten of them are actually in a relationship. The female lead is so gentle and sensitive TT The author is really good at writing about delicate girls, I'm falling in love. I've forgotten a bit about the romance. Generally, stories about a girl's unrequited love follow a set formula: writing love letters, going to karaoke, school sports meets, autumn outings, watching him in the crowd, collecting his belongings, chasing his grades, trying to get into the same university, and so on... What makes this book different is that there isn't much about unrequited love in high school; romance accounts for a whopping 90% of the main text. The plot is roughly as follows: the female lead is a college student who reunites with the male lead. After some back and forth, they quickly get together. While enjoying the relationship, the female lead is also preparing to break up with the male lead peacefully. I won't spoil the rest. This is supposed to be a happy ending! It's sweet, and how should I put it? I rarely see anything like this; it's a bit refreshing. (There are many places where I haven't expressed myself well enough. I'll reread the book when I have time and then revise the review.) The most memorable part is that the female lead is sooooo gentle and considerate. I'm so smitten! Qvq
