I need a danmei recs with white lotus shous!!

I've encountered SO many white lotus characters in danmei, but they are ALWAYS, ALWAYS the villain who gets slapped in the face later on.

I don't want that anymore!! I want, no, NEED white lotus MCs, who are genuinely two-faced and very preferable that they use it to gain others' affection.

Like purely white lotus character, who plays the white moonlight VERY GOOD.

I'm honestly getting into modern so showbiz would be so cool... but it doesn't matter! I also love xianxia, so can I have some crumbs?

Me when the ex fiance starts going "he's playing hard to get"

The MOMENT my eyes catch a word of ex fiances, families, etc in the showbiz, modern novels say, "Oh, he's playing hard to get. Oh, he's doing it for attention." When the MC severes ties with them.

Nothing, literally NOTHING. because it freaking lasts for 300 PAGES!!!!

Universal scent of all gongs

"Even though the blanket and pillow were his, the sandalwood scent was even stronger—Song Mian’s unique aroma." - from No one said the cost of seducing him was a pregnancy.

No brochacho, it's your and 1.3 billion other gongs' unique scent ✌️🥹

Like?? Is there no other scent to use? Why sandalwood, like ALWAYS. To the point I laugh cry whenever I see it in danmeis.

Review: The foolish bookworm in the aristocratic boys school

Ok so, I just finished "The foolish bookworm in the aristocratic boys school" and I swear this is genuinely the best danmei of all time. Do you like:

* modern, high school, transmigration, enemies to lovers, harem, character development (ACTUAL MC character development) and bullying.

The MC is a scholarship (kinda) student and faces bullying in the start, he's nervous, shy and insecure about everything, kinda ugly too.

I swear this novel's second name should be "Ugly Duckling" bcs it's from ugly to pretty. It might seem cliche and repeated when MC takes off his glasses, has a haircut, begins wearing nicer clothes that he becomes a heartthrob but it's done right and is so satisfying to see, because even after he does become pretty, he still kinda gets bullied but that's kinda his motive to do bcs of his system.

And he ends the story as ......... and gets so much better, with the respect and fear of all. (Tearing up)

And there is a total of 3 male leads who each have their own extras with the MC, and their dynamic is so fun bcs the male leads are divided to "concubines" and "main wifes", you'll die of laughing.

My fav snip>!pets: Li Ao couldn’t tell if the sound came from himself. He only saw two silhouettes in the darkness almost overlapping.!<

>!Like… kissing.!<

>!Holy crap, he’s not going to take a bite of my cousin after taking a bite of Leon and Shi Y e, is he?!<

>!Are you a piranha plant? You eat everyone.!<

>!2)!<

>!“Wait—” His cousin suddenly raised a hand, making a pause gesture. “Leon, get up. Shi Ye too. Li Ao, you listen as well. Wen Rong you… you do as you please.”!<

Anyways, my fav was Leon, 'the main wife' haha. But seriously this is the best novel that will properly refer classism and all that.

Anyways it's about 2200 pages, but after reading it, you'll find it's too short for a goldmine like this.
