   4.8 Points. The plot and emotions are perfectly balanced. I was so excited! It was so enjoyable, sweet, angsty, and satisfying all at once. It's my favorite kind of yandere/seductive story, and I feel like I could watch it many times. Both characters are incredibly cute! Normal love is great, but yandere love is even more delicious—it's so delicious! Ling-jie is so cute, seductive, and wicked; it's so enjoyable to watch! I love it so much! Ting-ting is also adorable, a total puppy! [Heart eyes] (Sister Ran Ling * Yu Ting, a possessive and loyal butterfly)

   4.8 Points. This is a book that made me cry from beginning to end. Even at the very end, when all the suffering was over, it still felt bitter and heavy. Given the historical context, you could feel that the author had given them a good ending, but it was still painful. Many times, I had to read a chapter, then pause, then read another, then pause again. Out of five points, I give it 4.5. After reading the first half, I felt this wasn't just a simple yuri novel about love, but a literary work—very well-written. However, the later war and separations were too long, and the love was too bitter; it was too painful to read. I love reading bittersweet stories, and I can even accept some of them ending in a bad ending, because if the characters don't love each other, they'll actually have an easier and better life. But I find it so hard to accept a bad ending in this one, because not loving each other would be even more painful. I feel like they're already living such a good life, and they've suffered so much already. Couldn't the romance be a little sweeter, a little sweeter? I don't know if the author did it on purpose, but even the sweet parts always feel a little incomplete, like something's missing. If they wrote ten more chapters of post-wedding epilogue, I might be able to accept it. [Crying][pity] (Song Qu, a sharp-tongued, fastidious, arrogant, soft-hearted, sickly, and faking his death, older prime minister *Princess Mi Qingchi, beautiful, cute, arrogant, initially loyal, kind, two-faced, secretly in love, later filled with hatred and passion, possessive, controlling, and insecure)

   4.8 Points. "Best Friend Becomes Wife" has a really appealing character design and a pretty good plot. The two have been entangled for many years but remain by each other's side. They both like each other, but due to misunderstandings and differing perspectives, they've missed many years. The idea that "friends last longer than lovers" prevents them from taking the next step. I wish I could forget everything and watch it a million times! Xuan Jian's portrayal of the agonizing tension is so well done; I love it. It's still my favorite kind of story—mutual top/bottom. The later episodes are also great! [Heart][Heart] (Completely seductive, beautiful, and charming bottom; sharp in public but doting in private; sensitive older sister lawyer Wen Shanyi * late bloomer but quite straightforward; beautiful figure; gentle older sister type craftswoman Jiang Qingdai). The two will just seduce each other, lusting after each other's bodies, entangled for a lifetime. It's so satisfying to watch! [Heart][Heart] The only downside is the many obstacles and plot points in the middle; it's not easy to watch a second time. Absolutely delicious!

   5 Stars. First read in March, second read in September. Very good. Smooth plot, well-developed characters. The main characters are all sharp-tongued but also incredibly cute and humorous. Very sweet, with few bittersweet moments. I was smiling the whole time while reading, it was so adorable! I really like the author's dual-perspective narrative style. It's very satisfying to see the plot gradually unfold. Even though I remembered most of the plot, I didn't skip any parts during my second read because every sentence was meaningful and meaningful. The word count isn't high, but it's just the right amount of sweetness. The best part of these two novels, in my opinion, is the abundance of scenes between the female leads. It's very immersive, like you're right there in the moment. The writing of explicit scenes is also excellent; the main characters are always a bit lewd but not greasy, and they're incredibly cute.

   5 Stars! So delicious! The best book I've read in 26 years. The plot is superb, the development is very reasonable, and I love the main characters—they're all people with strong boundaries and morals. The older sister is incredibly alluring, I love this kind of story! The younger sister is also very cute, and the little robot is amazing! So good!

   5 Stars. Absolutely delicious and satisfying! The plot and emotional arcs are incredibly enjoyable. Huo Junxian is like a mother to her... Gu Xiaogou is also incredibly cute. Their character development is the most enjoyable I've ever seen, including the later scenes of them slapping each other – so dramatic and engaging! The chase and the emotional shifts are well-done and not abrupt; you can see the mutual attraction and entanglement. Every stage is captivating. The scene where Gu Xiaogou forces his love on Huo Junxian, and Huo Junxian is forced to kiss him and then slaps him back, is particularly thrilling. The scene in the private beach where Gu counts down "three, two, one, bang!" Is also very exciting. The part about "the sound of the waves crashing" in the radio drama is especially pure and touching (the acting is superb; the character is delicate and gentle in public, like a tender wife, but secretly a crazy, possessive, and sexually intense woman with a great figure; the mother, Huo Junxian, is a gentle and intelligent woman who thinks she is very smart and like a master, but is actually clumsy and treated like a little puppy; she is very ambitious and cute; she is also a lecherous and straightforward woman who is attracted to Gu Siyu). The mutual top/bottom dynamic is the best part [heart emoji][heart emoji]. This book has elements that I love most, such as seducing the bottom, seducing the top, slapping, semi-imprisonment, surveillance, yandere, dog training, and mutual top/bottom. It's so exciting! I love it! I want to enjoy it for another hundred years! I'm so happy! The radio drama is also incredibly good, the voices are so relatable and touching [heart emojis][heart emojis], it's so full of sexual tension, it's so exciting, so blissful, so satisfying [heart emojis][heart emojis] I love it, I love it!

   5 Stars. I first read it in May 2026 under the title "The Lease is Nearing Its End," and at the time, I only felt it was bittersweet and delicate, which was also very fitting for the theme. I read it again in September under the title "Physiological Obsession," and the more I read, the better I felt the title was. "The Lease is Nearing Its End" is the first half of the book, but "Physiological Obsession" runs throughout the entire book. The author is very good at using dual perspectives: from Lin Er's perspective of falling in love with Mimi, and from Xu Mi's perspective of falling in love with her older sister. In the first half, Mimi is unaware of her love, but Lin Er's gentleness and tolerance make the whole book less bittersweet, but it's still very touching. Two little bitter gourds [crying emoji]. Xu Mi's character is also very charming and has a lot of contrast. He's aloof in public but adorable like a kitten in private. They're simply a match made in heaven. I really enjoyed many of the scenes later on [heart emoji]. As expected of Tu Ni, the writing, plot, emotions, and se se are all written exceptionally well. The protagonists' physiological obsession is mutual, and there's a lot of sexual tension when the two of them are together. I even wanted to smell how fragrant they were [heart emoji]. You have overwhelmed me.

   5 Out of 10. This is the best fantasy novel I've ever read. I even reread it twice on my alternate account, and both times I was deeply moved by those hundred years. The best thing about Shi Liu's writing is that the love between the main characters is always passionate and undeniable. The names of the characters are also exceptionally well-written, especially on my second read when Da Mu called Xiao Fu "wicked child," which had a unique charm. It was delicious, and Xiao Xue was especially cute. Whether it was Da Mu and Xiao Fu, or Da Mu and Xiao Fu, the food was all incredibly delicious! [Heart][Heart] I was completely full!

    5 Stars! So happy! I read it for the first time in 2024, and then again in 2026. I didn't stop smiling until the very end. So happy! It's a very complete book. The transformation of Xiao Bai from not understanding and resisting love to accepting and enjoying it while filming is particularly well-written. The later variety show scenes are also exceptionally well-written; I cried the whole time, as if I were watching a complete variety show about love. The angst in this book is so well-written; their problem was never a lack of love for each other, so even the angst felt sweet. Although it was very heartbreaking, I still felt so happy reading it. After reading the epilogue, seeing them get married and the author letting us readers participate, my heart was filled with warmth. So happy!

    5 Stars. I watched it twice with a secondary account, crying my eyes out each time. The bittersweet scenes were so satisfying, the angst was so enjoyable. To be honest, towards the end, I felt like a tragic ending was acceptable, as long as they were happy. But thankfully, they had a mother, and thankfully, they loved each other deeply and didn't miss out. In the early and middle stages, Chu Ruantang and Xingxing were also masters of their own game; if either side were a naive little rabbit, it would be difficult for them to reconcile. The nursery was a really good story [heart emoji][heart emoji]. There were countless callbacks; the author really resolved every problem between the main characters. By the end, I truly felt they were a match made in heaven, destined to be together for all eternity. Although Chu Ruantang was really bad in the beginning, if you look closely, she was genuinely good to Xingxing; she was just secretly brainwashing herself. "The wind rises, Chu Wantang," "But the wind has a way of turning back, and it will bring me back to your side."
