Is it even possible to find a modern love story where the heroine/MC is not an actress/doctor/hacker/all of them? I am mostly just tired of the actress route to everything and recs?
Yes Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life. MC is a painter and stays true to her job till the end. No character here is even in the showbiz world. Well, we have the typical CEO for the ML, but I found this novel very enjoyable till the end
I don't know what type of novel you like to read, so I went by - romance, modern with a MC that has a professional career, maybe you will find something interesting.
