   Curator note

   If you enjoy stories of intense rivalry and drama, don't miss this... It's the one that best suits my taste... It's a work that completely redefined my preferences. VV always knows what he wants; he's more rational than emotional, but he's not an emotionless robot; he's a very clever and adorable little mouse. It's a harem story, but the ending has no romantic pairing. Each bottom has flaws; they don't truly love wholeheartedly (those despicable Celestial Dragons!), But they're always exploited by the clever VV, so it doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I find the mix of feigned affection and genuine feelings quite enjoyable. However, be aware that there are bottoms who aren't pure... Please be aware of potential triggers.

   My goddess's latest masterpiece, Buoyancy x Gravity, is so delicious, so amazing, so breathtaking! Does anyone understand? The writing is also superb, and the descriptions of the fairies and monsters are full of ghostly charm. The story of the family going through eighty-one tribulations to take the imperial examination is very inspiring and made all the viewers in front of the screen cry.

3. 3 一 A New Body Every Day 一天换一具新身体 Neither Here Nor There不间不界Danmei (BL)588k WordsCompleted [The neighboring story, "The Guide’s Vulgar Deal", opens on January 31.

   A story about a capricious, cunning, and truly monstrous beauty (top) and a seemingly innocent but actually ruthless and powerful cyborg (bottom). They pamper each other, and the character development is more important than the plot. The pairing is quite appealing, although the plot gets a bit drawn out later on. There are a few minor issues, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

4. 4 不 Don’t Trust Chat Messages Lightly 不要轻信聊天短信 Singing on the Tree树上行歌Danmei (BL)423k WordsCompleted The school's little gossip forum had been buzzing with rumors about campus celebrities, with one juicy story after another and countless hot threads. The first post claimed: Breaking news! The notorious violent young master has been asking around about Wen Jiang's whereabouts. Top student, stay alert! The second post reported: The aloof male god may secretly be a scheming social butterfly, with ambiguous ties to several high-ranking ability users! The third post dropped a bombshell!

   Xiao Wen's charm comes purely from his cold demeanor; he's a master of dry humor with an almost robotic personality—how can someone be both so lovable and have such a master? The character description is spot on, it perfectly encapsulates his personality!

   Shi Tongwen, super appealing! Having such a wonderful brother and sister on JJ (a Chinese online forum) is amazing. The aloof, stubborn, and seemingly cold girl is just perfect, and their interactions are incredibly cute. The author particularly enjoys using simple language to describe small details, making you think, "Wow, I'm totally shipping them again!" Don't miss it if you like cute romance stories!

The only time she ever rebelled was when she impulsively married a man she had only just met. Her husband was refined and handsome, gentle and wealthy, and treated her with the utmost care. Sadly, their happiness did not last. Her husband died in a car accident, leaving her alone to face the vast fortune he 16.3kFavorites20.2kClicks/ch9.8kGifts

   GB, but the author's attitude is a bit ambiguous... It started strong but ended weakly; the first two-thirds were very good, but the ending felt rushed. The food in front was truly amazing and delicious. , Both sides have their own merits. It's a shame that two dishes weren't served. After all that buildup, it just ended abruptly...

7. 7 弃 After the Abandoned Puppy Came Back to Find Me 弃养小狗回来找我后 Ka Liao Nengsha卡了能莎Danmei (BL)249k WordsCompleted Coming soon: After the Cannon-Fodder Ex-Husband's Heart Dies. A straight, cool-headed top with a faint air of world-weariness VS a once-obedient, now-unstable, lovesick puppy of a bottom. Fake brothers, older brother and younger brother. Strong top. No breaking up the pairing, switching roles, or feminization. I'll delete comments that do.

   The older brother is so cool! His younger brother's thought process and amazing Chinese are hilarious. He has a strong older brother vibe but is also a bit childish at times, with a subtle sense of humor. He's an incredibly handsome and adorable older brother. The younger brother has always considered himself his sister-in-law and never dared to disobey his older brother, always protecting and admiring him. He's a total sweetheart, yeah.

8. 8 一 A Lifetime of Glory and Favor (Reborn) 一世荣宠（重生） Ye Youyou叶悠悠Danmei (BL)290k WordsCompleted Another ongoing novel with no romance: Throne of Technology. Give it a try if you’re interested. A serious note: If this isn’t your thing, just click the X. No pressure, and there’s no need to say anything. Everyone thinks differently. If you’re here to stir up trouble, don’t blame me for being blunt. After discussing it with my editor, I’ve decided to add a note to the blurb: To comply with JJ’s harmony guidelines, 1. The CPs are not related by blood in any way. 2. The protagonist’s mother and 12.2kFavorites30.6kClicks/ch4.7kGifts

   Curator note

   A pseudo-incestuous father-son story, it has the bittersweet charm of old-fashioned romance novels, purely sweet, but the past life is a bit off-putting, even though it's just background. There are elements of the seme dying and the uke going crazy, but I think it's sacred for a love-struck father to give everything to his precious son.

9. 9 朝 The Morning Sun Never Sets 朝日不沉 A Ming Jue Shu一明觉书Romance140k WordsCompleted (Please stop raising your hands. I'm really out of ideas. This is already a niche pairing, so why bother?) Jiang Chao x Zhou Dingshen Childhood friends, older brother and younger sister, GB. If a girl falls for her older brother, obviously it's the brother's fault. Most likely a sweet story. Written in snippets, very fragmented, and probably only about 100,000 words. The entire story is free, so I hope you have fun reading. Starting in mid-October, updates will be two or three times a week, w 10.6kFavorites13kClicks/ch7.8kGifts

   A modern-day pseudo-bone/sister story, where the brother loves the sister and is also attracted to his body; a fairly typical GB (Boys' Love) story, with a strong female protagonist; not too intense to read.

Thank you for your understanding.] First, a few warnings: 1. The top is strong in every way. 2. The bottom is extremely lovesick. 3. The top is powerful, but his inner nature is the opposite. In both lives, he wants to have it both ways, but in trying to do so, he ends up hurting both sides. 4. If the top had another chance to start over, he might not make the same decisions as before. 5.

    In their past life, the protagonist was older; in this life, he's a master and disciple, younger than the other. The initial master-disciple dynamic is adorable. There's a slight quirk when he's not in love in his past life, but once he falls in love, he becomes incredibly love-struck, the kind of love that's earth-shattering and tear-jerking. 🌈

    The story is told in the first person, and while the ending feels a bit rushed, it's quite interesting. It incorporates a narrative trick, which is somewhat original.

So handsome, yet so cold, so heartless. Openly scummy, irredeemably bad. But the day after they broke up, Shang Yang regretted it. A playboy scum gong. P.S. I don’t accept writing advice. You don’t need to tell me if you drop the story. Thank you for respecting that. Theme: Love is exclusive. 5.3kFavorites5kClicks/ch4.7kGifts

    Curator note

    The first part of the story is quite captivating. Due to an illness, the character becomes distressed without stimulation, leading to a constant stream of CGs. The uke (bottom) is... Well, aside from being love-obsessed, there's not much to say. The younger brother is alright, but his screen time is too limited. The middle part is a bit difficult to watch. Overall, it's not bad.
