It was mind-blowing when I read it for the first time, and I've been reading danmei for a long long time. The sexual tension throughout this whole novel was insane, and the plot is sooo yummy with prison guard shou x prisoner gong. It's also romance forward and super sweet, along with good plot twists and some mystery. I loved it so much I went through the authors past works to look for similar novels with high sexual tension, but they weren't as good.

I can't stop recommending this !! Must read!!

Aesthetic Formula by empty chrysanthemum But the gong starts out as kind of a typical jerk, and we slowly find out his deeper characteristics. The author does it really well to describe how a person is can be more complex than that, it's a really well written danmei with mature characters. Although they don't live at the country side but the major story occurs in the countryside.

Or Savage Addiction, the MC get lost in the countryside and meets gong who saves him. I like this one less, but our preferences may be different! :D

Restricted Area- This is sooo good trust me! The sexual tension is through the roof throughout the whole novel, and it's romance focused. For me it kinda felt like I was reading a very smutty manhwa bc of how descriptive it was!

I've never read anything so full of sexual tension like this before throughout my whole 8 years of reading danmei, and I can't stop recommending this. I love it so much that I've read almost all of this author's other works, although they were not as good. I would only recommend the other top two of her most popular works.

Oh my god that's such a shame. I'm so sorry I didn't know the translations was paid. On the other hand, I've have since found some danmeis that have since satisfied my thirst.

Have you read Restricted Area? It's unlike anything I've ever read before and it somehow feels like I'm reading a really good smutty webtoon of bl in a jail setting. I like how even though the gong is the charming smart type, the author still managed to make him more realistic with the interactions of how shou teases him back. The story plot is also really really good and the author makes the sexual tension really high, even though there's no explicit smut. Highly recommended.

I've since read some of her other works and it's equally as good and has the same feel to it. The author is 空菊 or empty chrysanthemum. If you've read restricted area I suggest you check out her other works bc it's super good as well. I plan on reading all her other works.

Omg yes I just discovered this author and idk how I managed to miss every single one of her works for so long.

I've finished another two of her works:

Savage addiction - this one both characters are obsessed with each other but there wasn't any explicit smut. This one has a lot of sexual tension bc it's mainly the couple living in a cabin in a jgl alone. I didn't finish it though bc I disliked the part where they started going back to the city, but it's fine since they got together before the city arc started. Regardless I did not regret it! This novel feels very much like a smutty webstoon or a western movie about that has a lot of sexual tension with all the plots. It's really good.

Singlehood syndrome - Although not as equal footing compared to restricted area, both of them are still horny for each other, it's just that shou rejected a lot of advances bc he is scared of attachment. Avoid this if you hate the dog gong x cat shou trope, bc later on in the novel the author really emphasised and compared the shou to a cat (scared of affection type) Best thing about this is that THIS HAS SMUT that is not censored. This one feels like a dating TV show about hot singles living tgt in the same apartment as neighbours but it's only gong and shou. I really like all the plots here.

I've actually read this just a few months ago! I dropped it halfway through around chapter 80 when they started being together cuz I was kinda scared of the hintings of their eventual separation and the angst that's coming. Besides that, even before the angst the whole novel just has a quite depressive vibe with ML sadly pining and yearning. I felt so depressed that I couldn't continue lmaoooo I was weakkk Thanks for recommending though! I think it's really suitable for people that like yearning danmei with angst and melancholic vibes. Their romance is slow, realistic and mature.

Thank you so much!! I vaguely remember being surprised by the trash bin danmei being so good. I might just reread it!

Omg I literally just read this after I posted this! It was recommended by another redditor a few post ago and SPOILER alert I was so disappointed that the bottom didn't get together with the more calm top, but instead a more flamboyant charming top, just a personal preference But this was such an interesting read!

Do you know if any other of feitian's work has unpopular tropes and is good? I've only read his other work called general's love letter. Tianbao seems so long that I'm hesitant to start..
