   The author's ability to get approved is truly impressive! It's unbelievable that I can still find alphanumeric content on JJ after 25 years!! The male and female leads are childhood sweethearts, but they are separated for some reason. The male lead is adopted and brainwashed by his enemy, becoming the female lead's nemesis. Fortunately, the female lead has ruthless methods, and the male lead is an epic-level love-struck fool, resulting in a happy ending. There are many elements of whipping, kneeling, and punishment, and the male lead also has hidden injuries. There are also various elements such as placement/stones/ice blocks/jade/chains/SP (I wouldn't even dare type out the author's writing, it's hilarious)! It's great! It's a mutual pursuit, and both sides enjoy it immensely. The pacing of the plot has a few minor flaws, but they don't detract from the overall quality. This plot is already amazing even in HT (adult fiction), and the play in this story is no different from HT. I'm just grateful.

   The entire text is free; the second part is on Lofter. It has a high level of combat casualties; the protagonist is a sniper team commander who is wounded on the battlefield and suffers greatly while trying to heal his hand. He's a very resilient and tenacious character, quite like many others. However, for personal reasons, I don't like military/combat casualty stories, nor do I like stories where the wounds aren't healed in the end (it's already a novel, and this adorable person prefers medical miracles). Overall, it's quite good; those interested can check it out.

The female lead is incredibly strong yet gentle, and every plan she devises for him is pushed to his physical limits. Each time the male lead undergoes rehabilitation, he's almost driven to tears. It's a pity it's too short; the plot and emotions weren't explored in depth. By the way, I thoroughly enjoyed it, it was so good I almost fainted! I will forever follow the author!

It's quite good, just a bit short (meaning I'd like to write 10 more worlds).

    Zui Deng's novels primarily feature angst and heartbreak. The protagonist (shou) suffers from poisoning that leads to intestinal devastation, which can only be alleviated by someone with higher power than him, but only the other protagonist (gong) possesses such power. The protagonist sustains significant damage in battles, and both are very strong. It's quite sweet and engaging. The later parts get a bit melodramatic.

    The protagonist suffered greatly while undercover, sustaining numerous hidden injuries. It's a mutual crush, but both believe they're only in love. It's a good read, but far too short; it ends after only six chapters (for paid content), and incredibly angsty. Crime fiction is obviously easy to lengthen; adding more episodic cases would be great. By the way, the battle-damaged and physically abusive scenes are quite good. The author's column also has another story about the love between two ordinary people under the pressure of terminal illness; I don't like that kind of story, but you can check it out if you're interested.

    The story is about a loyal dog, physically abused, wounded, and sickly. The plot flows smoothly and is worth watching, though it has a slightly old-fashioned feel, like stepping back into a forum. One scene that left a deep impression was when the male protagonist, holding golden needles, asked the female protagonist for punishment. The needles, with their pressure and placement, were typically used for torture and forced confessions. Fearing he would struggle, he had his subordinates tie him up (his internal energy was forcibly strengthened to an extreme degree due to various reasons). The initial plan was to insert the needles three inches deep and leave them for an hour, which he considered very harsh on himself, expecting the female protagonist to soften her stance. However, she pushed each needle three inches deeper and repeatedly tested several key acupoints, leaving them in for three or four hours. The male protagonist was in excruciating pain and struggled until he finally fainted. But the female protagonist's actions weren't simply for punishment; she was trying to find the acupoints to lock down his internal energy. When his internal energy became uncontrollable, to save his life, she implanted the golden needles into the corresponding acupoints. Only after finding a divine physician to unleash the chaotic internal energy could the needles be removed. (A pleasant surprise.)

The first story begins with the protagonist being considered cowardly and a traitor. By the time people discover his unwavering loyalty to his country and his extraordinary talent, his health is severely compromised, and others regretfully try to make amends. The other stories have a similar style. (Because the original protagonist was on a mission, it doesn't feel frustrating to watch, and the redemption process is quite satisfying.)
