   This author always writes great synopses, but after clicking into their homepage, I realized I'd already avoided their work. Upon closer inspection, I found they all wrote about the same type of protagonist.

3. 3 无 I Wish I Were as Heartless as You 无情应似我 Ai Lan哀蓝Romance425k WordsCompleted The day the Great Wei cavalry stormed the imperial city, severed limbs lay everywhere and rivers of blood flowed through the streets. The cruel general slaughtered the entire royal family, but spared the frail, delicate young empress with her snowy skin and flowerlike beauty. Note: 1. There is a large age gap: the male lead is twenty years older than the female lead. 2. This is a completely fictional setting, and the male lead is a true tyrant. 3. Personal attacks and disruptive comments are no 42.6kFavorites89.8kClicks/ch25.9kGifts

   I feel like I've been overhyped by XHS. I didn't understand what the foreshadowing was all about in the first part.

4. 4 我 My Sword 我剑 Shu Ning黍宁Romance628k WordsOngoing *Male lead: Zhang Yinzhen Bai Hong was born with a sword bone. Cool and strikingly handsome, he was known in his day as the “remarkable talent of the Sword Sect.” After all, the virtuous sect’s aloof beauty is practically destined to fall for a demonic sect’s enchantress. Bai Hong defied the world’s judgment and fell in love with Jiang Xue, the Holy Maiden of the demonic sect. Zhou Mang was quiet and slow-witted, with little talent.

   Forgive me, I haven't seen any romantic chemistry after 70+ chapters. I could enjoy it a bit before, but the further I go, the more I feel that no romance is actually quite nice. It's not that I dislike it, I'm still reading the comments and waiting for the next delicious chapter.

   The discussion about judging people by their appearance seemed to aim for depth, but after reading the first subplot, I felt it was too superficial. When the murderer was stating his reasons, I even had to force myself to keep reading. I didn't know what happened next, so I stopped watching.

6. 6 如 How to Marry the Grand Secretary 如何嫁给当朝首辅 Tangsu榶酥Romance543k WordsCompleted My novel next door, "Snow Tea at Junshan," is already out. Please give it some love! Meng Qingyi saved Wu Minghe's life by chance. When Wu Minghe woke, he asked for her hand in marriage. Though the man held great power, he had too many enemies. She wanted a peaceful life, so she coldly refused: "I didn't help you expecting anything in return." Afraid he might use his power to claim her because of her beauty, she accused him of robbing the cradle: "My family has already arranged a match for me, w 36.6kFavorites28.2kClicks/ch11.2kGifts

   Some of the descriptions are too colloquial, and I'm a bit averse to the ancient style, so I can't get into it. Besides, the romance scenes seem rather weak so far.

   Curator note

   This straightforward, melodramatic story with little foreshadowing is very enjoyable and satisfying to read, perfect for those craving this kind of genre. Adding too much melodrama and angst to a typical "rise to the top" story is just right; it's too tiring to read. The second part feels a bit like copywriting fraud.

8. 8 变 After I Turned into a Zombie, My Ex-Boyfriend Caught Me 变成丧尸后被前男友抓住了 Zhu Yu蛛于Romance320k WordsCompleted In her third year as a zombie, Xue Ling was mingling with a wandering horde when she came face-to-face with a convoy sent to exterminate zombies. What a coincidence. Wasn't the man standing on the roof of the vehicle, pointing a gun at her, her ex-boyfriend Wen Jiuze? Theme: Never give up hope. 296.7kFavorites502.1kClicks/ch328.9kGifts

Half-asleep, he caught a thief stealing his clothes. The thief was a girl who claimed to be the tomb's owner and an immortal zombie. Zombie: "I used to go by Princess Liuli, Meng Lishang, Bing Wuying, and Ling Fei Xiye. I'm a zombie with a story... But now, you can call me Baby!"

   The male lead is very humorous (in a positive sense).

    Curator note

    The character designs are appealing, but it's so overtly obvious that the author really likes them. The excessive descriptions of these characters, at least in the first part I read, made the male lead too clingy and the female lead sometimes seem too dull. In short, the writing style falls far short of aesthetic appeal. Trying to avoid strong male lead descriptions while writing this kind of female lead is just too difficult.

    The biggest drawback of the recommendation for the "Speechless Goddess" book is that it only has this one completed volume.

    I only read Zhao Da's part. The section on raising the younger brother is particularly noteworthy. I watch the comments and reviews regularly. The writing style is excellent, and the emotional descriptions flow smoothly. The White Moonlight Group has met and is enjoying delicious food.
