    I'm looking for any good Chinese romance novels like the ones written by Ding Mo. Theere have been too many romance novels with the male mc being too domineering and/or the female mc being too submissive or just unbelievably dumb to the point that it's no longer funny/cute. I'm having a hard time searching for any good ones, so can someone enlighten me?

    I prefer having a decently strong and smart female mc with a respectable male mc who won't make you flip a million tables in rage.

    Also, it'd be nice if it's either completed or the novel is updating regularly.

    P.S.
    I'm also open to Japanese/Korean novels as long as it fits the requirements. A monogamous relationship is very much favored. I'm not so much into the typical harem tropes.

    Thank you!

    Don't know why I thought you only wanted historical chinese romances....
    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/...mes-all-thanks-to-a-single-moment-of-impulse/ <- is a good romance between gods

    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/true-star/ <- I love how the MC doesn't bow down or gets intimidated by these intense and dominating males Warning: BL

    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/...carnated-as-a-love-interest-in-an-otome-game/ <- different from other otome game reincarnation in the fact a guy gets reincarnated into a prince and tries to fend off the "protagonist" of the game

    Thank you! I'll definitely look them up and read them.

    I've read this novel, and I seriously love the girl! Her schemes are so cruel it's wonderful.

    She's a great author who has written two of my most favorite Chinese romance novels: "When A Snail Loves" and "When He Comes, Close Your Eyes". She writes really good mysteries and thrillers.

    The mistaken marriage series is a really good bundle of Chinese stories with romance.

    I don't see it mentioned in this thread so I'll point you to Shushengbar since it has a good list for Chinese romance
