That certain type of (chinese) romance novel with a (often transmigrated) female lead, who's capable, talented and overall badass, and a (handsome and equally capable) doting male lead who'd do anything for her (Alternative Title: Wife-s*aves FTW). Generally, the male lead falls in love first, children between the two are optional (if there are, they are sometimes born before the story starts) and either one of them or both tend to attract several "flies"... more>>

The actual quality of the stories vary wildly, but these are the ones I consider "readable" (in no particular order really). Meaning, aside from how good the story itself is, the Female and Male Lead should have a healthy relationship; So no "he r*ped me so now I'm in love with him even though he treats me like shit" or bullsh*t like that. If something like that happens later in the story, I'll remove the entry.
("accidental r*pe", where one or both parties have consumed aphrodisiacs unknowingly/against their will or similar situations are a grey area and judged on a case to case basis) <<less
