This one has similar setting to "Turning back time". So if you loved that but wished for happy ending, this is the one. Both ml of these stories are famous actors, who loved fl but has distanced since and is now accused of affair. Only this time, it is just a rumor and ml seriously loves FL but has lost his way. This is the story of rediscovering their relationship, realizing and correcting where they went wrong. So, this is not tragedy but just angst. Smut is not really that big part in the novel.... more>>

A fl who has no desire to live. I mean, its definitely not fluffy but it is also not full on constant bombarding of angst one sentence after another like some other hardcore angst in the list. She is just so nonchalant about death that I also end up taking it casually. With that said, angst is thrown in like sharp knives at intervals. A good one... more>>

The thing is, it is not death but leaving people behind that is so dreadful. Of course, we all die one day. But it doesnt make the grief, loss any less. And the novel does impeccable job at showing this feeling. A struggle between love, life and death. ... more>>

If you liked "Sansheng, wangchaun wu shang" but it was too short and you need more. This is the expanded version of that novel. Similar premise, similar story progression, similar character dynamic. Personally, i found this a little dragging and preferred the shorter version. But, it is understandable that three lives just isnt enough sometime. So this is the seven lives version by the same author. ... more>>

You really never know what life brings to us next, or in this case, takes away. Similar to "one night, one day, one year, one lifetime" but less psychological. And I am not that familiar with omegaverse so that was kinda new to me but it hurts the same. You can't help but feel the pain and regret. ... more>>

Classic arrogant ml who takes FL for granted. But fl is so patient with him that she still loves him despite his negligence. Ml isn't bad person—if we consider that he doesn't cheat, physically hurt fl or coerce her with dodgy nonconsensual s*x like some other ml— but he is insufferable a**hole, the one who always calculates his loss and gain and unfortunately, fl doesn't outweigh his other profits so he treats her like shit, always putting her last. But is (silently) madly in love with her, then regrets when she leaves.... more>>

Also, I have to recommend this one manhwa in the list although there is no novel for it. Olgami/Trapped by haemuri. It is just insanely good. There is thriller, there is angst, there are hot ml and fl who are also cool af, and there is s*xual TENSION. 100 chapters and not once was I bored. A true slow burn josei with well written characters and plot that has strong push and pull with a hint of danger, mystery and lots and lots of charisma. In other words, READ ITTTT!!!! For hot vampire, badass fl, their sexy chemistry and mu*der escapades.
