To resist the tyrant’s ruthless attempts to possess him, Xie Linchuan spent a long time tormenting one another with him, then carefully plotted his revenge and succeeded.

   Zwyy, when did you start being obsessed with big-breasted bottoms? It's disgusting, stop writing! Completely idiotic bottoms. This big-breasted guy, besides getting angry and horny with the top, what else can you do? You keep describing how the bottom is insecure, how obedient, how love-struck old lady. Try creating another one, you ugh!

2. 2 虐 The Tragic Novel's Substitute Takes the Wrong Happy Ending Script [Quick Transmigration] 虐文替身，错拿HE剧本[快穿] Pluck Peaches and Ask for Wine折桃问酒Danmei (BL)584k WordsCompleted The transmigrated-into-a-book top who thinks he’s an unlucky stand-in × The bottom, who has no idea what a stand-in is and just absolutely adores the top * As Hosts bound to the Gold Medal Stand-In System, they must diligently play the stand-in, push the melodramatic plot forward, act out on cue once the original returns, then make a suitably tragic exit at the end with some ridiculous excuse like moving abroad, having cancer, or being astrologically incompatible.

   The writing style is getting worse and worse. While historical romance novels could at least use flowery language, modern romance novels are completely sloppy and stilted, reeking of artificial sweetness. I've been following this one since the three-sentence version, and I'm increasingly disappointed. The writing is terrible, the plot is terrible, and the only good thing about the whole book is the synopsis. I rarely give low stars, but I'm really speechless.

Their ages have never been changed!] A beautiful dancer arrived at the opera house, with a graceful figure and peerless dancing skills. No one knew that he was a little snake who had cultivated a human form. To make a living, he had no choice but to work as a dancer at the opera house.

Fake playboy × ambitious schemer Everyone said the Duan family of Mingcheng had raised an ungrateful wolf. Two years ago, when the matriarch of the Duan family was critically ill and the family was in turmoil, the only legitimate heir went overseas. Instead, Fang Xucheng, the young master's “study companion,” rose to power. No one could have imagined it. Two years later, the Duan family's “young prince” quietly returned to the country.

   I like this one too. While the level of devotion from the bottom isn't quite as high as in "BOSS," it's still pretty good. I like this younger brother; it's amazing that the top, who's supposed to be incredibly fragile and has multiple fractures, survived. The kidnapping scene was especially satisfying. The villains are so conflicted about our top—love far outweighs hate! Although I think that bit of hate stems entirely from his intense hatred for the bottom brother, which led to him going crazy when he discovered the top was about to kiss him.

   I love this one. The seemingly carefree and suave but internally self-destructive and remorseful protagonist is my absolute favorite [droopy-eared rabbit head]. I'll reread it multiple times. The uke is incredibly loyal and loves me dearly. No one who's truly devoted to another isn't this devoted; from beginning to end, this uke is incredibly loving. It's a very sweet couple, I love it!

   It's a story of a domineering gong (or maybe a domineering shou?) And a domineering shou. I wouldn't recommend reading it after the shou's amnesia plot. The ending felt rushed. I won't say much about the free version; I only read it because the gong is frequently wounded and sick. This author loves writing about strong, sickly, and tragic characters on the left, but the right characters are generally hard to judge (okay, maybe because I don't like tsundere right characters, and even as a woman, I don't).

7. 7 实 The Intern Prison Guard Is Just Cheerful 实习狱警只是开朗 Nanhuo Jiangmu南火绛木Danmei (BL)559k WordsCompleted [Updates follow the rankings before VIP serialization; 6,000 characters daily afterward, usually at midnight, sometimes twice a day] A trainee prison guard arrives at Sandra Prison, known as a holy site for criminals. With his clean-cut appearance and cheerful personality, he quickly hits it off with the prisoners. But the longer they spend together, the worse Lin Yan's reputation among the inmates becomes.

Blurb: On the eve of his coronation, Xiao Qingming was transmigrated into someone else's body. He suddenly found himself in a modern, civilized society, where he discovered that he had originally been an NPC in an emperor-raising game.

   It's an upgrade-style, overpowered protagonist story where the top is cute, and the bottom is just a background character (I don't mind that). The interactions between the top and the cards are very interesting. It's a very old-fashioned base-building and card-drawing story, but I love reading old stuff.

   Curator note

   The story revolves around a ruthless, hot, and aloof woman who is also a pure and innocent newbie. The protagonist falls in love with a master, and the other protagonist has been in love with him for over 3,600 years. The premise is quite interesting; it's not just a typical online game but more like a space forged from obsession. I won't spoil too much (while reading, I kept imagining it as something from an MMO game).

10. 10 与 Reborn: Everyday Life with My Powerful Wife 与位高权重老婆重生日常 1551一五五一Danmei (BL)320k WordsCompleted Eleven years after marrying into the family, Ying Zhiyu was reborn. Unwilling to start from scratch, he didn’t hesitate to cling to the thigh of his “husband” (wife) from his previous life. ○ Li Xi’s “Bride Selection” Profile Name: Ying Zhiyu Gender: Alpha Age: 21 Height: 188 cm Education: Graduate student in genetic engineering at the University of Biomedical Sciences Motto: “When I was young, I thought money was everything!

    Not as good as the author's other two books. More disturbing than cute, read with caution. The writing quality has declined significantly, it reads like a diary entry, and the constant emphasis on the protagonist's 140 IQ and ABO scientific theories is ridiculous. These scientific theories mixed into your childish writing make you seem uneducated. The plot is also bland; what should have been a climax, the kidnapping scene, passed by very uneventfully.

11. 11 三 Three Sentences, and the Protagonist Shou Abandons His Evil Disciple for Me 三句话，主角受为我抛弃孽徒 Pluck Peaches and Ask for Wine折桃问酒Danmei (BL)680k WordsCompleted [Sickly, carefree beauty gong × fake gentle, truly dark and unhinged shou] Wen Zeyi transmigrates into a book about master-disciple romance, where the protagonist gong is a mad-dog disciple who uses every dirty trick in the book, from locking his master Lan Shanyuan away to psychologically torturing him. He breaks his master's immortal bones and drives him to take his own life. Wen Zeyi has it even worse than the master shou, because he's a disposable extra.

    The cutest gong and shou in the world! The gong, who puts righteousness first and has a strong sense of self-sacrifice, will always be my favorite. This shou is so doting, I'm very satisfied with our gong (my mother-in-law's approval). The extra chapters even developed a hooking attribute, who's going to DM me, hehehe. The shou is also quite cute. When the gong threatens to sleep in separate rooms, he's immediately thunderstruck and secretly becomes a pillow and blanket to sleep with him. As expected, a true CP author can make people genuinely praise both sides (referring to some biased authors who call themselves CP experts [eye roll]). In the early plot, sometimes it inexplicably veers towards the "original work" shou plot, which I personally can accept. I'm writing this to warn you.

    Su Meng is the seme (top). The seme's straight-man charm is very appealing in the early stages, but later he inexplicably develops a physical reaction towards the uke (bottom) and seems a bit disgusted (disgusted by the plot, not the seme). The mystery of why the seme falls for the uke is unsolved, and the seme constantly cleans up the uke's messes, which is a bit speechless [melted]. There are a few scenes involving the uke, which are acceptable. It hasn't been updated in a long time, and the author seems to be restricting VIP access; read with caution.

    Similar to the setting of "Living Like You," but I personally think this one has better writing. Both the male and female leads are incredibly charming and are always in control and beloved by their partners. I really want to see the male lead switch bodies! Please update! Currently, the male lead is almost completely oblivious, and the female lead is just a hopeless, unrequited lover. The plot hasn't developed at all, and almost no plot holes have been filled.

    Another story of a doting husband and a doting wife, both unconditionally devoted (nodding). It features both dominant and submissive characters. The uke's friends and family are initially quite outrageous, while the dominant is incredibly cute as a child, successfully winning over the uke's friends and family with his charm. No one can resist such an adorable dominant! There's a scene where a cannon fodder ex-boyfriend steals the dominant's affections; the uke, the "loser," is quite charming (walking around).

    I'm a typical "country dog" (a term for someone who loves to watch others' lives), and I love watching the original owner reclaim their body and regain their status as the most beloved character. I especially love seeing the protagonist's body in its early stages, when it's battered and bruised. The villains are actually quite cute; I don't dislike them, though they have a bit of a dramatic, quirky side. However, I couldn't get into the later episodes after the main couple was established, and it always felt like a rushed ending. I've just skimmed through the endings several times.

    This story perfectly fulfills all my fantasies about a "spoiled wife" whose husband completely affirms her. The seme is adorable and charming, and the uke, in particular, is always second to the seme from beginning to end, which I found very satisfying (at least that's my impression). Then, every time the uke's husband abandons him, he goes crazy, completely out of control (in every sense of the word). I haven't read the previous life version, and I don't like tsundere ukes in the early stages. Also, the female characters in this book are very well portrayed. There's a strong, career-oriented woman, Yami Yami. At first, I thought Xie Xuanyi would have a typical uke with a supportive family, but that's not the case at all. The senior sister is willing to sacrifice both the seme and uke for the sake of the cultivation world, and the villain's mother is also Yami Yami Yami. I don't know if this is a trigger for some readers, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
