Here's a list of romance novels that I personally liked a lot and wanted to share with the people. I personally like a romance that is slow, takes a little bit time to develop and feels natural, not forced

This list mainly includes the following types of romance stories :-

1. Tragic Romance (my personal fav in romance)

2. Heartwarming Romance with family

3. Fluffy romance that makes you squeal

This list excludes the following :- 

1. Yaoi / BL

2. Villainness Tropes

3. Mary Sue / Over the top FL and Beta/Wimpy/Scum ML <<less

Haven't read all of these yet. Leave a comment if you know another good tragedy/angst novel. ^-^

1. Some might be TBA dates as some dramas have not been released yet ... more>>

2. Storyline will not always be word for word, it is more prominent with xianxias 

3. released drama first, unreleased near the end.

4. Novel rating is subjective and will not be in any order.

I just thought it be nice to have a list of stories with dramas coming out :D <<less

This list has both BL and BG novels. ... more>>

Beware that not all novels have the satisfying groveling scenes from ML. 

I included some BE novels where I felt that the decisions MC took was very fitting even if there is no groveling from the ML or if the MC is dead to see that part. 

You’ll find most of Shui Qian Cheng’s novels who is well known for her 188cm group of novels featuring angsty novels about scum going groveling for their mistakes.

I only included the novels I was satisfied with.

Caution: Enjoy these novels, but avoid romanticizing the ML or fantasizing them as great lovers. Most of the MLs are just awful people, except for my beloved Lan Zhan, who is the epitome of kindness, Justice & all the good things. Remember, in real life, those who treat others poorly are likely to treat you the same way or mistreat you repeatedly will continue to mistreat you. Those who are controlling, manipulative, and obsessive never end with happy endings. Change in adults is difficult, even with love. Look into real-life cases of abusive partners to get a reality check.

Do keep that in mind. Hope you enjoy the novels below. <<less

The four arts (四藝, siyi), or the four arts of the Chinese scholar, were the four main academic and artistic accomplishments required of the aristocratic ancient Chinese scholar-gentleman. They are qin (the guqin, a stringed instrument, 琴), qi (the strategy game of Go, 棋), shu (Chinese calligraphy, 書) and hua (Chinese painting, 畫), and are also referred to by listing all four: 琴棋書畫; qínqíshūhuà.
