So good, I really enjoyed this and would definitely recommend! Another top notch couple with chemistry.

A sweet, slow burn romance. I found this one while reading the spoiler thread for The Duchess with an Empty Soul (s/o to herkawaiinovels for the rec) and am so glad I stumbled across it. An underrated gem.... more>>

Note: I’m not sure what happened but originally the novel was completely translated and linked to the NU page. I’m guessing there was probably a licensing/legal issue. I am going to leave this on the list in hopes that it will be resolved and can be reuploaded. <<less

What can I say? Sometimes you’re just in the mood to read about a sweet FL and a ML who has to suffer because he didn’t treasure her. As far as this trope goes, I think this novel does a good job showing the characters grow and actually learn from their mistakes. Both parties mature over the course of the novel and the ML doesn’t just get away with neglecting the FL. Both characters decide that their love is worth working through everything.... more>>

I haven’t read the side stories yet, just the main story. <<less

A sweet, fluffy, healing romance ❤️ Super cute though the ending is rushed (fingers crossed for a spin off novel). Also the translation of this... more>> novel is really good which is always a plus! <<less

A classic knovel. 18+ only!!!

I really liked this one! The FL and ML have such a sweet (and spicy) relationship. It’s mostly a fluff and smut story but an... more>> enjoyable read nonetheless! Ending is a bit rushed but that’s par the course for stories in this genre. 18+ only! <<less

Highly recommend. The chemistry between the FL and the ML is *chef’s kiss*... more>>

If you like this one, I Only Treat Villains has similar vibes and is also really good! <<less

This one is so good!! Badass female lead, smitten male lead, strong plot/good writing, great translation. It is more political intrigue than straight up combat... more>> so those looking a lot of thrilling action sequences might be disappointed. Highly recommend! <<less

This is a cute read that I think would make a great manhwa! Beware the very melodramatic turn at the end, it definitely made it... more>> less enjoyable than it would have been otherwise. <<less

This one is just okay. There were a lot of good ideas and characters that had potential, it just didn’t feel fully fleshed out. The romance was also somewhat underwhelming. Good for when you have nothing else to read but overall rather bland.... more>>

If you like this, I Hope You Don’t Recognize Me is very similar (except in that one the emperor ends up being the ML) <<less

I binge read this one and enjoyed it! It’s got a lot of the tropes I like in a guilty read lol If you are looking to read this for the smut I will say that there is less of that in the second half (idk about the side stories as I haven’t finished those yet) 18+ only!!... more>>

The FL is kinda the ML’s stalker so if that bothers you maybe pass on this one (it’s at the level where in real life it would be kinda creepy but in a novel it’s not terrible/irredeemable if that makes sense) <<less

This one was a mediocre read for me, I think because it had real potential but didn’t fully live up to it. It’s a nice... more>> light binge read when you don’t want a whole lot of plot though, so don’t be discouraged by the harsh reviews it received on its NU page. 18+ only!! <<less
