List of stories that portray realistic romance set in modern time. The main leads are adults and mostly have career - which varies from actor, lawyer, doctor, professional athlete, office worker, etc.... more>>

I don't include stories that have mystery/crime as their main or sub genre; there is another list dedicated for it. I also don't include tragedy with bad ending since my heart can't handle too much sadness.

NB: In the list below, you can read the bracket as [Female Lead x Male Lead]. <<less

My list of re-read favs in no particular order; most have been re-read at least once, with few exceptions. All romance. All with female protagonists.... more>>

 I tried adding protag-relevant CWs in the description, but I might have missed some. If I can figure out the sorting system, I'll sort them in a last (re)read order.

WARNING: THERE IS SMUT <<less

These are the COMPLETED translated novels with romance tag that I rated 5 for being one of the gems I can read over again and again, and hugely recommend others to try!... more>>

Be warned that some of them are NOT for the weak heart!

The number is base on my ranking on them! ^^

The ranking btw, is not just base on the romance development but the overall story and characters. Some could even be said not to be "romance" at all *cough* stockholm syndrome *cough*, however them having romance tag is not up to my decision -and so in NU they are still considered as "Completed Romance Novels". <<less

mini(c-novel) glossary: 
▪ golden master - sugar daddy basically. 

▪ big tree - strong & capable one can rely on. Usually in the position of a protector. 

▪ golden thigh - The act of relying on the big guy. A mix of golden master and big tree

2nd List -- Stories that have been noted down for their interesting and unique plots / writings / translations. These stories can be in various eras; they can be stone-age, historical, modern, fantasy, and even end of the world kind of era~ ... more>>

Most QTs have very long chapters and are still WIP. Some I have personally MTL'ed just to satisfy my curiosity ^_^ 

Just a bit of warning: a few of these stories have quite bizarre plots.. and some are mature/R-rated. So be careful. 

You can steer clear of them if you're uncomfortable with unorthodox plots and uncensored scenes; be it sensual, violent or gruesome--

Hope you'll have fun reading them~ <<less
