Secretly, Secretly; But Unable to Hide It
– Unrequited Love Story –
Modern setting
Recommendation: ★★★★★
This is one of my favorite book read, I would say it is a hidden gem! The main character secretly has a crush on her brother’s friend who frequently comes to her house. They would tease each other in their normal lives and both their interaction are super adorable and funny!
This story touches on family and friendship. Reading through their growth was a little bumpy but overall it was still sweet and heartwarming. Even the characters is written quite realistic. The story was simple as a normal high school girl’s life, yet it doesn’t make you feel bored at all.

Every Vicious Woman Needs a Loyal Man
– Short Rebirth Story –
Modern setting
Recommendation: ★★★
If you like short stories with not much complications – unnecessary misunderstandings, annoying third party, then this is the book for you! In the past life, the main character has been fighting over a man with her sister, but only to find out that he wasn’t worth it. Because of that, she ruined her childhood friend’s life who had been watching over her for years.
Getting reborn as her 20 year old self, there is still time to fix everything. The first thing that the main character decided to do was to seize her childhood friend, the man whom loved her like no other man would, under her possession!

My Disciple Died Yet Again
– Continuous Reincarnation Story –
Ancient Xianxia setting
Recommendation: ★★★
The male lead has finally accepted a disciple after 16000 years, which is our main character. He took care of her and watched her grow stronger, but only to witness her death!
The main character was reincarnated to another person, and she was spotted by her sifu (master) and took in as a disciple again! Once again, the male lead taught her to be strong, and then… she died again!
It was quite an interesting concept with pretty decent comedy! But I find the plot a little bit stalling in the later part. But overall not bad to give it a try.

My Husband With Scholar Syndrome
– Heartwarming Romance –
Modern setting
Recommendation: ★★★★
The main character died due to a genetic disease with no medicine to cure. Before she died, the male lead was her autistic childhood friend, came to visit her in the hospital telling her that he couldn’t save her even he poured all his effort to study her medical record. The male lead had proposed to her earlier yet he got rejected.
When everything resets back to the day where the male lead proposed to her, this time the main character wanted to treat him better and said yes to him. The main character tries to ‘treat’ her husband’s autism by slowly incorporating him into the modern-world society.
The story was quite simple and light, there isn’t any second male lead or revenge to take. I would say it’s a good read short story!

Reincarnation – Lord is Extremely Hardcore
– Criminal Psychological Romance –
Modern setting
The main character was pushed to the road by the white lotus and died, not only her family did not blame the white lotus, they even comforted her that it’s just an accident. The main character gets a chance to rebirth yet her mental was not sane anymore.
She took on the path of revenge turning each of her enemies into a human puppet doll, which sparks the interest of a criminal psychologist, the male lead to involve in the investigation of her case.
If you like stories with full of drama, then this could be your choice. It is considered as one of the best dark and twisted novel.

Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life
– Cheat System –
Modern setting
Recommendation: ★★★★
The main character transmigrated into a cannon fodder of a cliche novel. On the very first day, she was alarmed by the system that she would die soon in a few minutes, and the only way to save herself was to spend the villain’s money to extend her life!
As the main character tries to survive by spending money, there was also missions for her to complete by developing favorable impressions to the characters in the story. As soon as she completes, the system will reward her with something that could ease her life! (Which is the part I find it a little cheating.)
However, the cheat system isn’t very OP at least. It is still a fun read, with some face slapping and cute interactions. Gave a higher recommendation for its creative story concept.

Heavy Sweetness Ash-Like Frost
– Comedy Angst Romance –
Ancient Xianxia setting
Recommendation: ★★★★★
When the main character was born, her mother predicted that the main character would be facing her calamity in the future 10000 years, so she fed her an Unfeeling Pill to protect her, and detained her from leaving the place.
One day, the male lead mistakenly entered the place and he was saved by the main character. The main character was very naive and clueless, who has no awareness of love or sex, which I find it to be hilarious sometimes. She asked the male lead to repay the debt by bringing her out to the heaven. Slowly, after taking care of the clueless main character, the male lead gradually developed feelings for her.
This novel has been adapted to drama as well, I find it quite an interesting story. Although there’s angst in the middle-to-end of the story, but it’s a happy ending.
