Me and my unrequited love

Me and my unrequited love
Secret love. For some people, it is war and chaos; for others, it is a warm spring with flowers blooming.

list of novels with either MLs/FLs having a onesided love who were given a second chance by meeting again after a few years or through rebirth.

MLs with unrequited love is what I preferred. Esp when they do have cold and indifferent demeanor yet they become patient and considerate with anything that has to do with her.
 

If it's meant to be, then its meant to be. Afterall, none can steal the love one is born to find.

please do tell if you have recommendation.

***Sorry. I'm boring so NO Yaoi, Yuri nor harem. 

Recommended novels not linked to NU. Most are less than 100 chapters including extras.. (titles and synopsis in the comment section, mtl'ed but decipherable)

    In the tenth year I liked him / 在我喜欢他的第十年

    作者:抱猫

    Twenty-six-year-old Shu Li was forced to go on a blind date and met an old friend.

    It only took less than a week from the time she saw Zhao Jingchuan again to the time Zhao Jingchuan became her husband.

    After getting married, Zhao Jingchuan conscientiously abides by his responsibilities as a husband. In addition to the normal married life, no matter how busy he is on weekdays, he will set aside a fixed day on weekends to spend time with her.

    As a husband, Zhao Jingchuan couldn't fault her, but Shu Li knew that he didn't love her.

    I thought that my ordinary life would last forever, until one day, Zhao Jingchuan discovered Shu Li's secret.

    ——My wife has been secretly in love with me for ten years? !

    *Secret love story, plain, slow-burning

     One-sentence introduction: I have kept you waiting for a long time.

     Purpose: Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

    Just wanted to say thank you for the list!! clear.png I also like reading unrequited love stories (also leaning towards a preference of the ML having that unrequited love as opposed to the FL :p it just feels nicer when the ML is the one doing the chasing!)

    Private Love letter / 私藏的情书

    Author : Liu Xiaobei / 刘小备

    *When I was young, the most popular word was probably a lifetime. I always felt that everything could last a lifetime, a lifetime of friendship, a lifetime of love, a lifetime of happiness, or a lifetime of unhappiness.* 

    1.

    One person, 15 years of secret love, 781 love letters. 

    Two people, bonded in silence all the way, three wordless farewells. A group of people, the same youth, half a catty of dreams and regrets.

     At the beginning of love, from the age of ten, remembering a pair of white sneakers is like remembering a belief.

     Use a pen to write a mood on the letter paper, write a period of youth, then seal it up, and send it to him or her in love, and to yourself in the years. 

    We run hard and love hard, but we still can't keep up with the passing pace of youth, and we can't fill the gaps that are unclear. All those who passed by us left a warm, maybe a little bit sad.

    But, besides me, who are standing here at this time, are you still there?

    2.

    If you have a crush on someone, how long will you remain in love?

    If you wrote a love letter to someone, how many would you write?

    If you look back at your youth, what will you remember?

    This article tells the story of a woman's 15 beautiful years from the age of 10 to 25 and her 781 love letters. This is a slow, low-key, warm, romantic and sad growth story.

    He Never Said Goodbye / 他不曾告别

    作者:有厌

    In high school, Li Heng was so flamboyant that he could become a legend no matter what he did.

    Xu Nan thought he knew him, but it was hard to imagine such a mediocre person disappearing among the public.

    But the fact is that after Li Heng was admitted to the police academy, he completely disappeared.

    After graduating from college, his former fair-weather friends either went abroad or took over the family's company. They all achieved great success, but few people saw or even mentioned Li Heng.

    Except Xu Nan.

    -
    Xu Nan had a crush on Li Heng for many years, but all he got in exchange was: "I don't remember."

    But later, during a detective operation, Li Heng was tortured as a prisoner.

    What kept him alive was just one thought: "His life is hers, I can't die."

    She was the secret that he couldn't tell, and she was the person he wanted to embrace standing in the light. ——Li Heng

    He never said goodbye and never left. I hope he...retires with success. ——Xu Nan

    Misplaced tree / 错位的树

    作者:舍弈

    SYNOPSIS:

    On the last trip before the college entrance examination, a group of people went to Zhaoyin Temple on the outskirts of the city.

    Outside the temple, there are ancient trees with dense green cover. Jiang Zhi stood under the tree, looking back at Qi Shu's figure in the distance.

    The warm spring sun shines on the young man. He leans lazily against the wall and talks to people. When he smiles, he is carefree and flamboyant.

    Jiang Zhi looked at him for a long time, but she never looked at him again.

    Just like in this barren youth, she has always been a wishful crush.

    Before leaving, Jiang Zhi used all her strength to throw the wishing sign to the highest point of the tree crown.

    No one knows what wish she made, only the trees and the mountain breeze will keep her secret -

    I hope Qi Shu's life will always be brilliant.

    At that time, she could not have imagined that Qi Shu would not be able to do as she wished.

    Campus Style Hidden Marriage / 校园式隐婚

    Author: Yan Xi Zao / 言西早早

    **This is one of my favorites. FL is not so easy to bully while ML is so good at making chance encounters. In just 2 chapters, I'm hooked! There is a blogger teaching little sisters how to catch their man, however, in here, the situation has been reversed. Xu Pei is the one following the art of tea. So instead of "Yan Shu: Your clothes has been stained, I'll help you dry clean it" to "Xu Pei: my clothes has been stained. Please dry clean it, I'll trouble you!". Someone is trying to ruin FL's reputation, saying that she's a green tea bit*h (which she didn't acquiesce, deny, nor clarify so the whole school think so too), however, it's hilarious how FL gave her a reverse uno card, everytime!**

    SYNOPSIS:

    There is a rumor. Yan Shu, the prettiest girl in College of Journalism, a sch*mer and has countless s*gar daddies unabashedly chases and stalks Xu Pei, the mathematician male god. They said she has been rejected multiple times but still shamelessly stalking him. Later on, they said that she was betrothed to a wealthy young master but still wanting to hold Xu Pei's hand. 

    The homepage of the campus forum is swiped every day:

    "Here she comes, she's here, she's coming with good green tea..."

    "Save it, Xu Shen won't accept your trick."

    "Just wait and be slapped in the face"

    Just as everyone was waiting to see Yan Shu's jokes, this proud son of heaven actually bent his thin and straight back in front of all the teachers and students in the school, half-kneeled in front of her, and tied her shoelaces with a calm face.

     Since then, the campus forums have changed direction:

     "You are a master of tea skills, so you are ruthless."

    "Bet on a high-level math question, Xu Shen will discover her true face!"

    "Wait until the seventeenth day after Xu Shen breaks up, check in!"

    One day, someone saw Yan Shu clutching a small red book in a panic, and accidentally dropped it out in a hurry. As a Xu Shen's fan girl, she wanted to see what this woman was up to.

    Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a marriage certificate. 

    Date, a year ago? 

    A moment later, a new post appeared on the Xiaonei website. [Anyone who finds my wife's marriage certificate, please contact me, this is valuable and you will be thanked. ] [I am Xu Pei] 

    The school network crashed, and everyone wrote thousands of letters, begging Yan Shu for a tutorial on how to catch a male god.

    But I found a message from Xu Pei on a blogger who teaches tea art: [Thank you, the method is very useful, and my wife has been caught. ]

    ? ? ? 

    Who the hell is having tea with whom?

      I LOST MY VOICE IN THIS CHAPTER ALONE AND THIS.. THIS ENTIRE PHRASE KILLED ME!! WHO SAID MATHEMATICIANS AIN'T ROMANTIC???

      "I initially liked mathematics because numbers are omnipotent, which makes me admire them. For example, the number five can represent the five stars in the sky that we point to. It can also represent my five fingers you're holding on to. It can also represent what I just said to you five times, I love you. Or our five kisses. But there are exceptions. If some special people or things appear, the digital equality will be broken. For example, everything about you is special to me. 0818 is our wedding anniversary, 0817 is your birthday, and 9:33 on December 24th is the time when I kissed you for the first time... these numbers, they have been given a special meaning in my heart and are no longer equal. Because they were lucky enough to be chosen by you," Xu Pei picked up her other hand, guided her palm, and moved it inch by inch to his chest, " and together with me, we became your most loyal subjects."

    Flaming Day / 焰焰白日

    作者︰有厭 / author: You Yan

    No one would believe that Yuan Xun would marry Tan Ga. It's not that Tan Ga has too much dark history, but that Yuan Xun is ascetic and cold-hearted, and has no room for anything other than experimental equipment, let alone a lover.

    Therefore, Tan Ga had no hope for his married life, thinking that it would be an accident.

    But the fact is -

    Yuan Xun knows that she is insecure and will report that she is safe anytime and anywhere. He knows that she will lose her temper when hungry and will bring food no matter how busy she is.

    Life after marriage is unexpectedly harmonious.

    To use Tan Ga's later words to describe it, her mother had never been so devoted to her.

    But when Tan Ga was in high school, Yuan Xun rejected his indifferent expression and always maintained a sober persona.

    On the day after signing the divorce agreement, Tan Ga made an appointment with a group of friends to make a plan to go to the Northwest, and arranged a full schedule.

    When Yuan Xun came to find her, he saw her talking and laughing with the man who was traveling with her.

    "My ex-husband? He's handsome and rich, and he's very good to me."

    "Then why did you divorce?"

    Tan Ga smiled meaningfully: "Guess."

    Not far away, Yuan Xun, who had been spread rumors, lowered his head and looked at himself .

    Later, Yuan Xun's secret love was exposed, and Tan Ga realized that this was not an accident, but a story.

     The main CP is marriage first and love later: a problem girl who is arrogant and can act coquettishly (Tan Ga) x an affectionate but scheming top student (Yuan Xun)

    One-sentence synopsis: Rivals marry first and fall in love later

    Purpose: Only by moving forward courageously can you be invincible for your dreams!

    Fall inlove with me in Winter / 冬天请与我恋爱

    Author:Jiang Xiaolu / 江小绿

    On the day of Lidong, Zhu Shiyu broke up with her boyfriend who had been dating for four years and returned to Wenbei City.

    The ward was in chaos, and her mother was pale. After all the relatives and friends persuaded her reasonably, there were only two choices left in front of her:

    follow the family's arrangement to get married or resign.

    Zhu Shiyu chose the former, and then met Meng Siyi.

    In the eyes of everyone, Meng Siyi looks good, works well, and has an impeccable personality. Marrying him is a blessing for Shiyu.

    Only Meng Siyi knew.

    He's just a mean, unloving villain.

    From boyhood to now—

    she was the dream he had longed for every day for so long.

    Old Classmate / 老同学

    Author / 作者:城南花开 (same author as I give half of my life to you)

    If you lose your loved one, will you still fall in love with someone else for the rest of your life? 

    SYNOPSIS:

    Lang Zhen met his high school classmates again at his sister's wedding. His sister stole the other person's boyfriend.

    *It's just 11 chapters but I got hooked in just 1 chapter* "The lesson Zhou Yisui learned from her last relationship is to not turn friends into lovers. In the end, it is easy to lose both your lover and your friend."

    To give more context:

    She had longed for a home and a warm and stable place since she was a child. She only wanted to have a family of her own since she was abandoned by her parents. So, Tang Feng became her world yet the other party only saw her as a vampire, sucking him dry.

      This, people, is the consequence of cheating. You not only break the trust and the relationship but destroyed the entire person!!

      "I don't want to implicate anyone. I am not as smart as you, and I am not as powerful as you. Even my dreams , I am not even comparable to ordinary people, I am not worthy of your love, and I don’t want my love to fade one day and everything I treasure become a piece of waste paper in your eyes.”
