I watched it a long time ago, and every single one of Yan Xuejie's storylines is worth jumping into [lying down]. The unexpected arrival of her childhood sweetheart completely triumphs over her, a very sweet and normal young couple.

I almost missed this book, it's so good... It's another book by the author of Yin Chunhen. Hei Ni is a heartthrob who's popular with both men and women (PS: There are some explicit scenes. More to come later).

Three and a half to four stars. Very dark and murky, somewhat similar to the beginning of *Escape from the Zen House*. The author is quite skilled at writing transitions.

The characters were appealing, but the later plot became quite boring. And the 1v3 scenario I was hoping for didn't happen...

8 不 The Unnamable Passerby 不可名状的路人甲 Jiang Shuishuo江水朔Romance603k WordsCompleted A socially clueless passerby with a terminal case of secondhand embarrassment discovered she was living in a novel. It was an old-school Mary Sue romance: all the men loved the heroine, and all the women hated her. And this passerby was the roommate of the side character who was a lackey to the female supporting character who was jealous of the heroine. No one remembered her face or name. She’d spent eighteen years as an invisible nobody. Finally, in a fit of anger, she got a little angry and d 51.6kFavorites54.9kClicks/ch105.9kGifts

The premise was interesting, but compared to the female supporting character's story, it lacked a bit of the gloomy atmosphere. It got a little boring towards the end, so I didn't finish it.

10 战 The War Begins in 1938 战起1938 Crazy Diuzi疯丢子Romance482k WordsCompleted He woke from a dream in 1938, where the dark years began. War. Survival.

Curator note

I'd give it three and a half to four stars. The overall story is very good, with a high theme, but the constant BL (Boys' Love) elements are a bit much for me. Also, I really cried a lot towards the end, especially when Heinz returned from Siberia.

Samsung, I'm not sure if I should recommend this one, because it's truly the most awful book I've ever read. I felt incredibly uncomfortable, upset, and on the verge of collapse while reading it, but after persevering to the end, I felt a strange sense of loss... Shui Tangtang is truly an extraordinary woman. I didn't read the side stories, and they didn't seem very interesting. In short, proceed with caution.

I give this dance lesson a perfect score! It's so good! The plot and characters are both top-notch. The author, Shui Dandan, is especially good at suggestive writing. In short, it's a rare gem of a story.

Three and a Half, I think this one has a rather rushed ending. The beginning was great, the ghosts were real ghosts, but not scary, and the ending had a comedic feel to it.

Zenin Naoya's male demon aura is so authentic... But it's really torturous for women; the part where he's starving made me want to cry [crying emoji].

If you’ve read the whole novel, please leave a rating, dear readers. "Bows" Thank you~ [Han Chinese princess X eminent monk from the Western Regions] The blurb is silly, but the novel itself is more serious. A swoony romance. Yao Ying transmigrates into a book. The world is in chaos, with warlords vying for power. Her father happens to lead the strongest faction, and her brothe 490.8kFavorites652.1kClicks/ch510.7kGifts

Curator note

A heartthrob in another sense; it would be even better if it were a multi-person relationship. Overall, it's more of a serious drama, with a slow pace, more plot and less romance.

Curator note

The story revolves around a popular female protagonist and includes a career-oriented plotline. I especially love the brother-sister relationship—it's so charming! However, I'd give the author zero stars; following her serialization is pure torture.

18 她 She’s the Villainess at the Elite Academy 她是贵族学院的女配 Jiang Shuishuo江水朔Romance686k WordsCompleted She is the daughter of a nouveau riche family, an unnoticed nobody at an elite academy. She was supposed to be nothing more than an insignificant cannon-fodder character, but after she accidentally saves the heroine from bullying, she gets caught up in trouble she can't escape.

The setting and writing style are a bit old-fashioned. But the female lead's character is a real plus. As for the male lead, he's right up my alley because he's a bit of a goofball with a dark side.

An adult fairy tale; both the male and female leads are adorable, and it's a normal 1v1 story.

Curator note

The ghost theme is a bit mild, and the female lead is very cute. It's just a shame it's not a harem story; she ended up with all three men.
