must read!!! the wind goes, as he knows by jiu yue xi

Mostly BG romance with smart FL and ML. I have read lots of books , but these are the ones I would go back to reread in the future and recommend to anyone. I love complicated plots, dark romance, tortured love with some angst. I lean more towards historical for now till I find a good enough modern to add to this list. Plots may contain uncomfortable scenarios but each book is worth the read. ... more>>

Interesting plots, good writing and smooth translations are very important to me.  <<less

Either I've watched them as dramas or read them fully as novels, crying at least once.... more>>

Sometimes I get too enthralled in the stories and cry for no reason, so I'm sorry if some of these don't match the list title for you.

If I google translated it and you can't find it, try searching for the title in the original language, not the English title.

Any suggestions? Feel free to comment as I do like to cry. <<less

No particular order

feel free to recommend novels to the list as long as the pregnancy happens when there is at least like 20% of the novel left or something. <<less

Decided to start keeping track of novels that were adapted to TV dramas!... more>>

Often I ended up watching the drama before reading the books, which in some cases is good, some other times is actually bad as the story is more fleshed out in the drama itself.

I’m not going to give a review of the novel and/or drama it’s been adapted to, but I’m going to give a score based on how similar is the drama to the novel (and viceversa) based on what I’ve read.
⭐️ = significant changes to the story and the characters  ⭐️⭐️ = some changes to the some events in the story and the characters but main story plot is maintained ⭐️⭐️⭐️ = both the story and the characters remain true to the novel

Unrated novels is because I either haven't read the novel or haven't watched the drama so wouldn't be able to provide an accurate analysis. <<less
