    Recently I’ve been into angsty novels for some reason. So the type of novels I’m looking for have a slag ML who either uses the MC as a substitute or generally treats MC poorly which causes the MC to leave him and later the ML will regret. Some examples of what I’m talking about:

    • Substitute Goods 《代替品》 于珣爾
    • The Jasmine Scented White Moonlight 《茉莉味的白月光》 北境有冻离著
    • Like Love But Not 《似爱而非貓樹
    • Gaze at the Scenes of Debauchery 《你看那灯红酒绿 裤衩

    I’m looking for either non-translated or translated novels, but mainly non-translated ones.

    How angsty do you want it to be? I recently finished Flower Vase (花瓶) by 困倚危楼 and loved it precisely because it wasn't very angsty. It apparently also has a follow-up called Old Dreams (舊夢) focused on one of the side characters, and from the sounds of it, that one does seem pretty angsty, though I haven't read it yet.

    I also read 枯萎之前 by 月晝 recently too and that one's... OK... Some really great moments interspersed with the most rote melodrama scenes. It's an overall uneven story imo, but ends well.

    (Also, FYI, Like Love But Not is written by Orange Rain [橙子雨]. Mao Shu is just the illustrator, haha.)

    Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll look them up
    Right now I’m just looking for any angsty scum regret novel, so it can be really REALLY angsty and I’d be fine with it

    I looked up 枯萎之前 and that might be pretty good especially since the MC apparently
    ditches the scum ex

    Thanks for the other recommendations too, btw
    Ah, my bad my bad. Tbh I just copied what I saw on the NU page without really looking it up lol
    Thanks, but I’ve already read this one
