   I watched it a long time ago, but I've rewatched it so many times. I think it's incredibly good! [Crying emoji][crying emoji] A pure emotional story, a treat for fans of unrequited love! [Laughs] This novel's portrayal of unrequited love is remarkably natural and well-developed, completely unlike the mass-produced, formulaic stories. The subtle sadness and warmth as you read about the protagonists' past... It truly captures the beauty of unrequited love. Both the male and female leads have their own struggles... The best part of the female lead's unrequited love trope is actually the psychological process of the male lead realizing his feelings and wanting to make amends and cherish the female lead. I think this book is particularly well-written. Moreover, the male lead's identity is very clever (he's the female lead's best friend's brother). To prevent him from discovering her feelings for him, the female lead maintains a distance, which leads to repeated setbacks for the male lead as his emotions evolve, making him wonder why his "sister" keeps him at arm's length. Add to that the male lead's slightly cheeky and endearing personality, and the contrast between his initial and later behavior makes the story even more compelling. I think this kind of scene is so wonderful, I'm a country bumpkin and I love it! [Pity][pity]

   It was so satisfying to read in one go! It's a sweet first-person tale of a couple reunited after a breakup, full of bittersweet moments and angst. I found it particularly enjoyable and perfect for bedtime reading! The story has a subtle humor; as someone heavily reliant on sex, I laughed throughout the reading. The young couple is so adorable! [Cat emoji] However, the author thanked xhs and her ex-boyfriend in the author's notes at the end, which seems to have been inspired by their lives. I can't say for sure if it's based on a real person, so those who are sensitive to such references might want to take note. [Cat emoji]

   I watched it a long time ago. It's quite good. This book seems to focus more on the plot and less on romance. Although the female lead is incredibly popular, she's not the kind of popular woman I dislike; she genuinely possesses a lot of personal charm. In the romantic storyline, the male lead serves as both a supportive wife and a powerful enforcer. The plot features the female lead's sweeping reforms and conquest of cities, a well-developed career path, and a very enjoyable writing style. Four stars because I didn't find any particularly memorable moments in this book. It was enjoyable and entertaining, and while the romance wasn't as extensive as the career storyline, it was still decent. It just lacked a truly original element. I feel like I've rambled on a bit; I'm not even sure how to express myself anymore. [Crying emoji]

In a small voice, she offered to wash it and give it back, but he only looked at her with disgust and icily told her to throw it away. Yuan Qianshui was devastated.

   I watched it a long time ago, so I don't remember it very well. I especially love Xiaoshui's character—a sensitive, lonely, insecure little girl who longs to be loved. She constantly criticizes and questions herself over trivial matters. Many parts of the story touched me deeply, especially the parts that depict Xiaoshui's inner world. My heart aches for Xiaoshui! [Crying][crying] I've actually forgotten a bit of the main couple's relationship, but it was pretty good. I skipped a few chapters of the later, more drawn-out parts between them, which felt a bit long and tiring to read. I really enjoyed the part where the female protagonist escapes and experiences life on her own at the end of the book. I was a little teary-eyed when Xiao Shui left the city and the male protagonist's deputy secretly let her go; so many people wish for you to spread your wings and soar freely. The part where she pursues him at the end is also one of my favorites. The two people, caught in a fierce emotional conflict, distanced themselves and, through the ordinariness of daily life, forged a genuine love. If the two of them had an anxious attachment style and an avoidant attachment style before Xiaoshui ran away, then the years of pursuing her had gradually transformed her into a secure attachment style. This kind of love will make Xiaoshui happier.

   Campus 5 Adult 4+ The high school section was well-written, capturing the bittersweet feeling of budding romance during adolescence very well. The scenes depicting the adults were a bit cliché. The male lead is quite masochistic; he even begs the female lead to slap him (if I remember correctly, I read this book a long time ago). I was a little shocked when I first read it. If you like this type of story, you'll probably enjoy it. However, I'm not a fan of weak-willed or masochistic male leads, so I'm sadly out of luck [crying][crying]. The female lead's character is very pleasant; she's always a dazzling young lady. Although it's a transmigration novel, she firmly chooses to be herself instead of giving up on building her own life for the sake of "conquering" the female lead. I quite like the female lead! Overall, it looks really good! [Cat emoji]

   100% Sweet romance, the author's writing style is incredibly humorous. The male lead is arrogant, narcissistic, and conceited, while the female lead is an honest person who suddenly receives a huge reward. Their interactions are adorable. The chapters where the male lead regains his memories and argues with the female lead are especially funny. Later, the male lead becomes incredibly hot and delicious, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers. Although it's purely a sweet romance with almost no plot, I still want to say that the organization in the main storyline is quite creepy. It was built up to be very sinister in the early and middle stages, but I don't know why it suddenly ended later. I thought it would explain the content of the message, how this group of people was captured, and what was revealed during the subsequent interrogation, but it felt a bit unclear. This is actually the first book of a new author, and it's written wonderfully! Looking forward to the next one! [Laughing][laughing] P.

   Curator note

   This is a classic that pioneered the "Black Lotus" genre... I think it can be considered a milestone in Jinjiang romance novels. I remember that campus romance novels were quite popular at that time, and the "Black Lotus" character emerged like a dark horse, thus starting this genre. During middle school, high school, and university, when I had nothing else to read, I would pick it up and read it. I've reread it many times and still find the plot ingenious and mature, and the character design is the most believable among all the "Black Lotus x Sunny" characters. The audio drama is also very good. A classic.

This time, it'll really be different.” Completely bewildered, she followed her mother into a mansion, only to discover that she'd become the stepsister of the heroine in a melodramatic coming-of-age novel. They had different mothers and different fathers. As the heroine's foil, she was the opposite of eve 20.1kFavorites27.8kClicks/ch8.7kGifts

   Curator note

   It's really good! Both the male and female leads are mature and stable people who live a down-to-earth life. The romance is very solid, and the male lead's realization that he's fallen for his stepsister is very touching. The female lead's reflections on her family of origin and life are also very insightful. However, it feels like the romance between the two after the female lead is switched back isn't as exciting as the previous stepsister x stepsister dynamic; it feels a bit bland. The female lead is very clever. She experiments with the rules within limited conditions, finds loopholes, and completes the task. While watching, you can't help but cheer for her brilliant youth. I initially thought the male lead would be the stereotypical domineering CEO/old-fashioned father type, but he's actually a devoted older brother who raises several "bastards" with a fatherly love. He's simple, loves taking care of kids, and the more obedient and dependent they are on him, the more secretly pleased he feels. I find this character setting quite novel [laughing][laughing]. The female lead has had two previous relationships, which makes her the more mature one in this relationship. After their reunion, she exudes a strong older sister vibe, and their roles are completely reversed [laughing][laughing]. The only downside is that some of the high school friends, like Xiaolin who formed a band with her sister, and the top-performing class monitor, didn't appear at the end of the story. They felt like limited-time NPCs in the school arc. I'm curious about what happened to them—did they continue pursuing music? Did they get into good universities? [Pity][pity]

    It's pretty good. The past episodes are a breath of fresh air, but the present episodes are a bit repetitive. It's alright, just a bit like typical Chinese romance novels. [Laughing and crying emoji] (The following contains major spoilers! This is purely my personal understanding and record; please avoid spoilers!) I was a little hesitant to read this story at first because the synopsis described it as a melodramatic love triangle, and the opening even mentioned that the female lead believed the male lead was cheating on her with her enemy. I was a bit afraid to continue reading. But after finishing it, I realized that these two people clearly only had eyes for each other from beginning to end. They were a couple deeply in love, but they were both too tight-lipped to say it. The female protagonist hesitates to confess her feelings because she loves the male protagonist but doesn't know how to express it. She believes he does these things for her only out of brotherly affection, despite their past antagonisms, she has secretly fallen for him. Her upbringing has instilled in her a lack of security; in her eyes, their marriage is precarious, held together by gratitude, "brotherly affection," and a few scattered feelings. There is a lack of honesty and trust between them, and at the beginning of the story, she even mistakenly believes the male protagonist is having an affair with her enemy (?). The male lead hesitates to confess because he's witnessed the female lead's feelings for someone else. He accompanies her during her serious injury and rehabilitation, and proposes marriage when her family faces an accident. He acts as her husband, helping her manage her company's affairs and protecting her family's business. However, the male lead always feels he's taking advantage of her vulnerability. He provides her with ample material comforts, but he's unsure if she likes him, and he doesn't understand the reasons behind her subtle mood swings; their interactions are completely disconnected. He believes he deeply loves her, so when faced with her inconsistent behavior (such as her anger), he questions "why" and "on what grounds?" So I really think the problem in their marriage is very simple: neither of them opens up to their true feelings. Their true feelings are gradually triggered by various external conflicts, which eventually erupt into arguments. After the arguments, they realize that they love each other. I especially loved the past chapters of this story. The love between the male and female leads was built up step by step, and their interactions back then were so adorable. While reading the earlier chapters, I kept wondering why the female lead was injured, why she hated her enemy so much, why the male lead and female lead lived together in Switzerland, and why they fell in love with each other. After reading the past chapters, all I can say is that they loved each other so much, yet they hesitated until the third year of their marriage [laughing and crying emoji]. It was so bittersweet, and I loved that flavor... I love this past chapter so much... Five stars are for the past chapters... *I use a neutral term in my review of domestic romance. What bothered me a bit was the male lead's heavy smoking habit (although he quit later). The two were constantly arguing, giving each other the silent treatment, or having sex in the early episodes, and later she got pregnant unexpectedly because they didn't use a condom. But the author wrote it quite well; it wasn't overly cheesy.

    4.5+-, A short story. The female lead is very likable, quirky and adorable, a true "darling of the group" type. The romance between the male and female leads is decent, understated but not bland; it would be better if it were a bit more intense. The only drawback is the abrupt ending. Several points felt left unresolved, such as the true nature of the female lead's eldest daughter and her ambiguous relationship. Worth reading, I suppose.

    I think it's absolutely amazing, incredibly good, and the yandere vibe is just so authentic! [Pity] The male protagonist is a yandere assassin with zero socialization who only knows how to kill, while the female protagonist is a warm and ruthless office worker like a mother hen. The two are like a kind rag doll and an evil rag doll. Although they touch and hug each other from the beginning, they are actually clueless and confused, just like cute little animals. This book is incredibly emotionally intense, making it a very enjoyable read. Every time the male lead says "I want to kill you," it's actually "I love you," only he's so socially inept that he can't even understand emotions. When the female lead comforts the male lead, she often speaks with very Buddhist-like words; she's so divine and gentle, almost like a mother... Although it's a yandere (obsessive and possessive) story, I often laughed out loud while reading it because the contrast between the male lead thinking "I want to kill her" and sewing menstrual belts for the female lead was so striking! The female lead's final act of forcing the male lead to learn to write with her felt like a literacy campaign—the two of them are so poorly educated! I especially loved the married life in the epilogue; it truly had a heartwarming feeling of a young couple growing old together. May this young couple be happy and together forever! [Kissing emoji]

    I didn't particularly like the male lead's weak, manipulative, and seemingly innocent but actually cunning side before the premium version, probably because I'm not a fan of that kind of character. However, after the premium version aired, the male lead's true colors were revealed, and both leads dropped their pretense. Their meeting of kindred spirits in their humble beginnings was really interesting. The emotional journeys of the male and female leads and the sparks that flew between them were also wonderful and I loved them. They're an incredibly compatible couple. The female lead is a complete dog-training expert, and the male lead has a strong "dog-like" vibe and a resentful husband aura—I think these character traits are quite rare. In the final epilogue, their daughter from their past life, Xiaoman, is reincarnated, and the family of three lives happily ever after—it's so heartwarming! [Kissing emojis] I wasn't originally planning to add this to my reading list, but after rereading the extra chapters about raising children, I found them really cute, so I added them. All three characters are adorable! [Cat emoji]

    This is a lighthearted and humorous sweet novel, definitely worth reading. It has all the essential elements: a pursuit-the-woman scenario, a love triangle, and arranged marriage followed by love (though only a few). The female lead is like a resilient little blade of grass on her journey to pursue her dreams, clever and playful. The male lead is a completely aggressive and pragmatic type, and their constant affection after marriage, using "husband" and "wife" like punctuation marks, is adorable. The romance is particularly satisfying. I think the author's greatest strength lies in how perfectly they portray the male lead's jealousy and secret feelings—knowing his childhood friend likes the female lead but still falling for her himself! (Spoilers ahead!) For those who are committed to a 1v1 relationship, don't panic. Although there are elements of a love triangle, the childhood friend in this story is actually in love with the person he's been chatting with online for a year who claims to be the female lead. There's no competition or cuckoldry between the male lead and his childhood friend in front of the female lead. It's just that from the male lead's perspective, the childhood friend has liked the female lead for many years and has always believed he likes her, hence the jealousy and feelings of infidelity.

    I reread it and still quite liked it. It's a very typical Pride and Prejudice story, a feudalistic father figure versus a money-grubbing girl—a very confrontational path. Both have their own principles, maintaining a certain boundary like walking a tightrope, but attraction doesn't need a reason, and then it's like a bolt from the blue. I was quite moved by the parts where the male lead falls for her and then admits defeat, and the female lead wants to love but doesn't dare to—the tension between them is quite strong. There are some minor swear words, but they don't affect my reading experience at all. The younger brother and sister's storyline really resonated with me. The playboy and the playgirl kept deceiving each other, only to find out in the end that they had fooled themselves. It was so cute... And the way the two of them interacted later on had a kind of elementary school romance feel to it, which was adorable.

It's a lighthearted comedy about Little Pear leading her top henchman and her mischievous little team on their adventures and encountering the Crown Prince. Overall, it's very lighthearted and humorous, like a group of boisterous beagles (Little Pear and her friends) meeting a borderland prince from the capital. It's lively, cute, and very comfortable! The romance has a slow and steady feel. Although the male and female leads' feelings develop through many thrilling adventures, it still feels quite old-fashioned and solid. The only drawback is that the author made quite a few typos later on, which was a bit distracting. [Cat emoji]

    The story features a Celestial Dragon and an ordinary girl. The male lead is portrayed as a playboy, but the author writes it smoothly, so I wasn't too bothered by it. In the early stages, the male lead is insincere and unable to express his love, causing the female lead a lot of heartache. Later, the female lead becomes more aware of what she wants, and the male lead gradually figures out how to treat her well in his own way. In the end, the two get together. Personally, I liked the bittersweet, conflicted feeling in the story. The female lead doubted the male lead's sincerity, while the male lead was insecure about her love. Neither of them spoke, just engaging in a constant entanglement. The female lead was always in control of the relationship, repeatedly breaking up and getting back together, giving it a strong "dog-training" feel. Through these on-again, off-again interactions, they gradually matured, and the male lead finally began to understand what the female lead truly wanted. The only downside was that I felt the last two conflicts were a bit too melodramatic—the virus and the gunshot incident—which felt a little jarring while watching. In short, if you like a sour and bitter taste, then this is for you! [Kissing emoji]

Although the synopsis suggests an arranged marriage leading to love, they actually met early on and their relationship progresses step by step, which is incredibly sweet [please][please]. The male lead is a cunning and mischievous character who becomes somewhat world-weary after being injured, while the female lead seems to be taking a break but actually does a lot, giving off a jade-like quality. I think the revenge plot is very well written, with foreshadowing and connections throughout. By the end, I was truly immersed in the feeling of revenge being achieved; the emperor, the scumbag father, was just too much. Thankfully, there's an "what if" scenario where everyone survives, and everyone being together is truly wonderful [please][please].

    I don't know why it was renamed. It used to be called "Golden Wind Ballad," which sounded much better. Maybe it's because of Jinjiang's recommendation mechanism (?). I'd give it 4.5 Stars. The current timeline is great, but the only downside is that the past stories are a bit long. The overall tone is sweet, but the plot is also a bit heart-wrenching, with many good people dying unintentionally, leaving everyone with pain and regret. The romance between the male and female leads is quite good. One is a bit calculating, the other a bit clueless; they were both swept along by fate in their youth. The female lead had love in her heart but couldn't express it, while the male lead's confession was misunderstood. Fortunately, they've matured now, solving cases together, uncovering the truth behind past tragedies, and tentatively developing a relationship. Although I felt the main story devoted a bit too much space to the past, I really loved the rebirth "what if" storyline, haha. It made up for the regrets of the past, gave everyone a happy ending, and made everyone happy. All the angst in the main story was made up for, which was especially good.

    I preferred the pure, two-person romance in the early stages. The main plot became very convoluted later on; the author clearly wanted to elevate the story, but it did become quite chaotic. The male lead is outwardly sunny but inwardly brooding, the type who falls in love without realizing it, while the female lead is a gentle, aloof older sister. Personally, I think the first half of the book (up to around chapter 50) had a very precise grasp of the characters, and the push-and-pull dynamics between them, including the male lead's unconscious jealousy, were very compelling. However, after the male lead "realizes" his feelings, the romance becomes somewhat flat. This might be because the things the male and female leads do as friends are essentially the same as what lovers do, so the male lead's realization doesn't highlight the uniqueness of his love. Overall, the story starts strong but declines in quality. The later main plot (the female lead's storyline) becomes quite messy, with a section where the male lead is completely absent (ps. Not that I didn't want to see the female lead's growth and career development, just that the plot seemed to go astray). I still recommend the early romance-focused version.

    The early parts were particularly bittersweet due to the setting, but the author's writing is superb, delicately portraying the feelings of unrequited love. The romance between young boys and girls is full of twists and turns, the struggles, arguments, and eventual growth together—like a summer downpour, it's incredibly endearing. I actually read this a long time ago, but I reread it often, and I still love it now. [Pleading emoji]

    It's exceptionally good. I can only say it lives up to the reputation of the author of *The Afternoon of a Faun*; the writing is guaranteed, and the plot is incredibly smooth and well-developed. I especially love it! The strength of this book lies in its strong incestuous undertones. The forbidden love between the two is delicious. The younger sister is witty, resilient, and adorable, while the older brother is possessive and very controlling. The scene where he turns dark and experiences a visual spectacle of unparalleled dominance is incredibly satisfying! And the ending is a delightful surprise!

    4.5+-, A very cute short story, a game reference to JX3 (Sword Net 3), but even without MMO background, it's completely understandable and perfect for killing time. It has all the classic MMO elements: slapping the face of a scumbag ex-girlfriend, enthusiastic guild members doing dungeons and events... So cute!

    It's so cute! The romance is clean and smooth, and the female lead's growth is clear and natural. It's so satisfying! I've reread this book several times. I think the author did a particularly good job with the main storyline of the female lead's self-healing from trauma. Neither of them can truly let go of the other, but their respective childhood traumas and quirks prevent them from getting closer. Although many reviews say it's bittersweet, I found it very poignant; love is about reaching out to someone no matter what. The only minor flaw is that I felt the ending, where the male lead heals the female lead's trauma, was a bit odd TT. It's like Qiao Qiao split into two people, one Qiao Qiao on the outside and one Qiao Qiao on the inside. Although everyone says they are one, it still feels subtly strange... This book awakened a new fantasy in me. The female lead calls the male lead "brother," and the male lead calls the female lead "sister." For the first time, I found this kind of address refreshing and not at all cheesy; it was incredibly cute and delightful.

    It's really good... Although the synopsis suggests the female lead is always crying, her tears actually act like a talkative Tang Sanzang putting a tight headband on Sun Wukong (the male lead), making him involuntarily accomplish his goals. The romance flows smoothly; the male lead is completely under the female lead's thumb. However, if you want to see a more detailed look at their interactions and the process of them falling in love, the interval between the male lead's second and third marriage proposals feels too short; you can't really feel the intensity of their growing affection in between. The author's humor in this book is simply natural. I often couldn't help but laugh while reading it late at night. The female lead's family and the male lead's family are especially hilarious, creating a unique spark. I especially want to emphasize the male lead's adopted brother, Xiao Xue, who is extremely funny. I think he provides most of the humor in the book. At 12 years old, he is at the age where he is causing trouble.

    "Little Tree, Little Rain, Forever and Ever TT" is a story about a young girl and a girl who grows together. The male lead has a mental illness, and the author's descriptions are just right, avoiding any triggering or unpleasant feeling. The female lead is like a tree, taking root and growing slowly. Having had similar experiences, I felt a deep empathy for Xiaoyu (the girl's character), and seeing her gradually improve from initially not taking her medication regularly was truly heartwarming. It was a joy to see the two of them grow together.

    I especially loved this story. The female and male leads' character designs were very fresh; it was the first time I'd seen a girl with a "mouse-like" personality in a romance novel. I loved the progression of their relationship, from the initial half-hearted acceptance (barely a case of falling for her at first sight) to the male lead gradually falling for her, unable to live without her, while the female lead's heart remained detached. The male lead peeled back the layers of her onion-like heart, finally discovering that her "mouse-like" exterior and distrust of love were merely armor to protect herself. I especially loved the ending where the female lead returned to her rural hometown, the place where she went to school and where many heartbreaking things happened. The male lead, just like she had initially followed him, tried every means to find her and follow her, experiencing her past life before they knew each other. The rural hometown became the female lead's anchor point in life; she returned to her starting point and decided to believe in "love." The "what if" storyline was also adorable; the childhood sweetheart, cunning male lead and oblivious female lead was truly delightful!

    I quite liked this book, but to be honest, while the premise was great, the writing was a bit flat, lacking that intense, suspenseful feeling. The childhood sweetheart vibe is strong; the two relying on each other in an adult world is really interesting, each other being the only anchor in that world. Although some scenes might be criticized (like the male and female leads discussing their sexual preferences), I found it really cute. The tension between them openly expressing "I have ulterior motives towards you" is especially... Someone understands me! [Pity][pity]
