Translated stories I like enough to recommend. I review them so expect some spoilers (I try not to spoil major events.)
(Please read the novels on the original translator's site which can be found on novelupdates!)
"If you want still want to love, I'll accompany you, Xu Qin." He says with solemn tone, he looks like he makes a major decision.
"Huh?" She takes a deep breath.
"Do you still like me?" He asks directly and frankly.
Xu Qin is stunned, her heart is beating so quick like it will lose control soon.
She nods, "Yes."
He looks at her for a long time and says: "I regret it, Xu Qin."
She breathes: "Ah?"
"Let's be together." Song Yan says, "I don't need you to do anything for me, I don't need you to guarantee that you will be on my side in the future. If one day you want to break up, then let's just break up. But for now, let's be together."
After ten years of searching, I'm still alone. It turns out I just want to be with you.
Thoughts:
Again, one of my favorite stories in the list. (the stories I reread a lot are considered my favorite lol)
I really like both the protagonists, moreso when the novel showed scenes where the both of them smokes. What!? Smokers look hot (atleast in fiction and my imagination, not real life.)
Out of the two, FL has more apparent flaws, especially in terms of personality, however I appreciate the fact that both she and ML acknowledges them, with ML loving everything about her.
Although FL often makes questionable decisions (she gave me a shit ton of second embarrassment), I understood every reasoning behind her actions. So despite her hesitations bringing pain to both her and ML (and me), I can't bring myself to hate her or her brother (step broooo).
I actually cried reading her thoughts. I fucking hate her shitty ass parents.

I will admit though that in another story, FL would be ML's indecisive ex that he moves on from with the help of another girl (like the ex-gf from Rebirth on the Doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau).
ML, on the other hand, is truly the standard! Like holy shit, despite me liking FL, at one point I even thought that ML deserves better (they are still cute together though, don't get me wrong)
If I were to compare what he did without spoiling much, I'd say he is the personification of Olivia Rodrigo's song Favorite Crime, specifically the chorus; "All the things I did, just so I could call you mine."
So yeah, their past relationship was very cute! It's too the point that I wouldn't mind reading a prequel of their love story (fave flashback chapter is chapter 27 ehe). Their current relationship is cute as well, but more mature. I loved how FL reciprocates ML's affection and also teases him and shit. I giggled like crazy reading this.
But dude~ I need more! I want extras! Why did it have to end so quickly?
Anyways, the translation is not very fluent (it's more like mtl) but I'm still grateful.
Try it!
Its drama adaptation named Fireworks of My Heart is released now! Try it as well!
