It is now one of my favorite novels. I love love.... more>>

I'm feeling attacked on three fronts on this one. It sometimes reminds me of SaYe, sometimes Heartthrob's CFC, and sometimes Sunset Boulevard (because ML). Which is to say I LOVE this novel. <<less

How am I supposed to rate this novel objectively when I partly want to give it 4 stars but then I remember I was pretty much caught up on the proses and highlighted so many part of the books.  This novel doesn’t let me go. It has one of the loveliest ml— at the end of the novel he is the best best husband ever.  ... more>>

I love reading about Chen Boqiao from the very beginning perplexed, confused, curious, slightly territorial, to later becoming protective, kind, and sweet toward Zhang Jue. Watching CB falling slowly and hopelessly in love with ZJ is a wonder.  One of the many lovely quotes.  “If he only had one umbrella, one bouquet, one key to his heart, Chen Bogiao would give it all to Zhang Jue. Saying ‘love' may be difficult, but making a choice was almost too easy.” <<less

This author has become my favorite. They have ways with describing and comparing loves. I love that the leads are both flawed but yet for... more>> each other they are just fit like no other would. <<less

This is a touching love story about longing for someone from afar. The protagonist yearns to be with his love interest, but he’s hesitant to... more>> take the chance due to the fear of being rejected. He comes to accept that his love may remain unrequited. However, life has a way of surprising us and his love returns, unexpectedly, and they both fall in love with each other. The story is a mixture of joy and sadness, capturing the realistic ups and downs of relationships. It's a beautiful reminder that sometimes love finds a way, even when we least expect it. <<less

Another novel that will make you just feel for the mc and ml.  The choices of adults create a storm that wrecked them. This is another novel that if I start to dissect the characters, I’ll never come out of it.  The mc love and obsession (he’s pretty much imprinted on the ml) is devastating.  I’m glad that they didn’t shy away from his mental health and seek professional help for him.  ... more>>

Yes, this novel is also at the top of my list.  While the novel is not completely translated, the mtl is very very readable.   <<less

The MC, Lu Feng, is utterly obsessed with Sheng Min Ou, the ML. I hesitated to add this to the list because Lu Feng is... more>> unabashedly straightforward in his pursuit, willing to endure being treated like he doesn’t exist—even ab*sed. Yet, beneath all his bravado, there’s a raw loneliness and desperation in his longing.Sheng Min Ou, on the other hand, struggles with his own obsession, insecurities, and fears. For all that he could have Lu Feng, he questions how much he can trust a love that doesn’t truly know him. To protect Lu Feng, Sheng Min Ou pushes him away, making it painfully clear that Lu Feng should stay away. Yet, this rejection is as much about shielding himself as it is about protecting the one he loves. <<less

Ning Zhiyuan’s secret obsession with Cen Zhisen is the emotional core of the story, driving the tension as his desperate yearning for love mirrors the... more>> universal fear of unreciprocated affection. This longing often leads Ning Zhiyuan to act in ways that undermine his own happiness, as he clings to his feelings despite the emotional chasm between them. The dynamic becomes even more complex when Cen Zhisen begins to develop feelings of his own but, out of fear and hesitation, fails to express them. This mutual but misunderstood connection perpetuates a cycle of longing, self-sabotage, and emotional tension, making their relationship a delicate interplay of desire and restraint. <<less
