Danmei I Read in 2021

1. After I Ran Away, My Vegetative Partner Got Angry and Opened His Eyes (植物人伴侣在我逃跑后气得睁眼了) 
I like this because it's a light and simple story. ML is a tiger beastman, and MC is a cat slave. 

2. Interstellar Plants Tamer (星际植物驯养师)
I like the friendship, the adventures they do together, and the smart animals. Despite the endless villains (ML's family), this is also a light story. 

3. Non-human Front-desk Department (非人界前台接待处)
A supernatural detective story. MC is an ex-police captain turns police consultant. He accidentally died and becomes Black Impermanence. ML is White Impermanence. Together they rectify the underworld. 

4. The Entire Interstellar Know That He's My Ex-Boyfriend (全星际都知道他是我前男友)
The first half about a military training variety show is funny and relaxing. The second half about growing up, getting back together, and war with the aliens is full of emotions and gripping. 

5. The School Hunk is Too Overbearing; How Do I Defeat Him? (校草太霸道了怎么破)
A super hilarious and sweet YA story. No villains and no dog blood drama. I couldn't stop smiling the whole time reading it because MC and ML are just comedians. 

6. I, Who Has Become a Martial Emperor, Transmigrated Back (成了武帝的我又穿了回来) 
OP MC and ML, brainless villains, dog blood drama, revenge, face-slapping, some comedy, and enemies-to-lovers romance. It's basically a popcorn read. 

7. My Artists are Reborn at Full Level (我家艺人满级重生)
A big boss becomes an agent, and the artists he finds are all reborn ghosts of old great artists. ML is the first ghost, a king of rock. It's a comprehensive entertainment world story. 

8. The Number One Holiday Destination in the World (世界第一度假村)
It's like playing a resort island tycoon game, but instead of playing it, you read about how MC becomes the tycoon. It's a light read, but you just can't put it down. No romance, but MC has a BF in the end. 

9. We're at the Front Ranking in Promoting Goods (带货我们是一流的)
It's about MC's life after getting accidentally pregnant by a rich man. Honestly, how MC selling goods is more exciting than his super sweet romance. 

10. The Tall Sweet Husbands Send Sugar Online (高甜夫夫在线发糖) 
A love story between two actors. MC is a CP fan of ML/ML's colleague. ML falls in love with him and then pursues him. It's a light-hearted story that mostly shows the sweet and cute side of star-chasing. 

11. Having Chemistry with the Ex-Husband (前夫来电)
A realistic, mature, urban romance between a teacher and a police officer. They marry just for convenience and don't show their true selves to each other. Their real romance only starts after they divorced. 

12. I, The Number One Demon in the Entertainment Circle (我,娱乐圈第一妖精) 
A light story with face-slapping, netizens' behavior, and some supernatural elements since MC is a pear flower demon and ML is a black phoenix. 

13. Striving for Science (为科学奋斗)
I thought the story is a pure comedy, but it's actually a rather serious and deep one written in humorous style. Slow friends-to-lovers romance, wonderful side characters, and heartwarming plots. 

14. Everyone is So Stimulated Watching Me Eat Fish (看我吃鱼都觉得好刺激)
A very entertaining story with super adorable lucky cat MC and very cold yet tolerant koi king ML. Lots of adventures, demon friends/employees, and endearing kitty behavior to be enjoyed. 

15. Bis Boss' Rural Life (霸总的农村生活)
A relaxing and touching farming story with nice romance. No villains; no dog blood drama (except for MC's background, I guess?); much positivity, and an authentic depiction of rural life. 

16. My Dragon (我的龙)
Fast-paced Mpreg story. MC is an actor, and ML is an artist director who later becomes a househusband. The story is a mix between MC's career, his super sweet romance with ML, and taking care of their many children. 

17. An Antique Goes Down the Mountain (古董下山)
A hilarious urban fantasy story. MC is an innocent gluttonous baby, and ML is a vinegar jar scheming gong. The setting is metaphysical, but most of the villains are defeated by brute force and job offers. 

18. I Heard That I'm Very Poor (听说我很穷)
MC is a cash-poor, asset-rich noble son who joins the entertainment circle to earn money to buy back Chinese antiquities. ML is a rich businessman with enemies. It's a sweet romance with some face-slapping. 

19. Mr. Rong's Lovelorn Diary (戎先生的失恋日记)
Sensible ABO story that starts slow but then got interesting as MC and ML live together. I think ML's psychological problem is the highlight of the story, but it's cured rather too fast, IMO. 

20. Crashing Into the Yin and Yang Road (大撞阴阳路)
A dark and quite serious urban fantasy full of ghosts and zombies. I like the characters and especially love the way MC and ML get along (they're already married for 5 years), but the cases aren't simple and take many lives. 

21. I, T-Rex, Raises Cubs Online (我,霸王龙,在线养崽) 
MC travels through his own novel and becomes the big villain's wife. He has to raise a cub and keep the villain from getting killed. It's an adventure story with lots of funny and cute moments of MC, ML, and their son. 

22. I Find That I've Become a Legend After Waking Up (醒来后发现自己成了传说)
The adventure of Taotie and his immortal king in searching for the truth of the heavenly war thousands of years ago. It's a compelling story, and I love the interaction between MC and ML. 

23. Mr. Huo, Don't Give Me Money (霍总别给我打钱了)
A light urban romance between a veterinarian and a CEO. It's a realistic love story with no dog blood drama/villains/face-slapping. 

24. The Man Who Woke Up from Sleep and Became a Wealthy Man ( 一觉醒来成了豪门男人的男人)
A rebirth and friends-to-lovers story. ML has been in love with MC for years, and MC only realizes it after he's reborn. From the outside, ML's the gong, but it's actually the opposite. 

25. I Became Immortal After an Unexpected Pregnancy (意外怀孕后,我成了不死之身)
A police investigation story with supernatural elements. MC's a detective, and ML's a demigod, and they have a son who likes to pretend to be a girl. All the cases are solved by normal investigation. 

26. Monster Apartment (妖怪公寓)
A lovely and heart-warming coming-of-age story of a lonely little monster. It's an urban fantasy story featuring mythological creatures, lots of painting, finding friends and a lover, and saving the world at the end. 

27. Whose Little Eyes Haven't Seen the Movie Emperor (谁的小眼睛还没看影帝) 
A cute story of childhood friends reuniting after they're adults. MC's an actor, and ML's his boss. MC has forgotten about ML, but ML never forgets him. MC's a bit sand sculpture character, so it's fun to read. 

28. You Can Grow Tall with Kisses (亲亲就能长高高)
I've forgotten the details of this sci-fi story, but it's quite enjoyable to read.

29. The Feng Shui Master is an Internet Celebrity (风水大师是网红)
I've forgotten the details of this urban fantasy story, but it's quite enjoyable to read.

30. Bringing Capital to Enter the Drama Queen Group (带资进组的戏精)
A sweet romcom with entertainment circle background. MC's an actor, and ML's a drama queen, vinegar jar, sand sculpture rich man. They're childhood sweethearts who meet again after years of separation. 

31. I'm Not the Kind of School Grass You Think Of (我不是你想的那种校草)
A coming-of-age story with hurt/comfort element. It's a nice read without excessive drama. 

32. Surprise! The Supposed Talent Show Was Actually...?! (惊!说好的选秀综艺竟然) 
A sci-fi story with survival game theme, some unexpected twists and turns, and lots of history lessons. Love the balanced relationship between MC and ML, even when they're not equal in strength. 

33. Pregnant With the Child of a Wealthy Movie Emperor (怀了豪门影帝的崽)
Mpreg story; guilty pleasure read. The story revolves around MC's daily lovey-dovey life with ML. 

34. Very Auspicious Year of the Pig (猪年大吉)
A reunion story with supernatural element and MPreg. MC's one of the Chinese zodiac animals, and ML's a human. It's a slightly bittersweet story after the cause of their separation was revealed. 

35. The Well-Known Secret of the Royal Family (皇室秘闻)
A short and fast-paced story about palace intrigue. Although MC's the male queen, I think he's more like a passerby, and his romance with ML, who's not the king, is almost nonexistent.
 
36. The Male Lead is Clamoring to Divorce Me (男主为我闹离婚)
A fun read with fleshed-out characters and some hurt/comfort and intrigue. MC's hilarious, and he brightens up the whole story. 

37. My Meow Became a Cat Spirit (我家喵咪成精了)
The romance is sweet, and the overall story is heart-warming. I love the characters, especially the fierce little bunny spirit.
 
38. My Partner is Assigned by the Country ( 对象是国家分配的)
Love-after-marriage romance. MC and ML's relationship grows along with MC's career. Surprisingly, the political intrigue that I thought would be the climax is resolved in just a few paragraphs. 

39. Domestic Mini Long Ao Tian (家养迷你龙傲天)
A light xianxia novel, but the first half of it is countryman family drama. I love the strong-willed MC and the coquettish ML. IMO, MC is the gong except on the bed. 

40. The Wealthy School Grass' Male Wife (豪门校草的男妻)
A pretty realistic gay romance despite the cliche setting of poor guy/rich guy. It starts as a college romance, goes up and down, skips years, and ends (HEA) when they're adults. 

41. Simple Life (小日子)
The daily marriage life of a gay couple with children. Essentially, it's a simple story, but it's so addictive because the romance, career, parenting, and family drama elements are combined well and not overdone. 

42. I Do Whatever I Please in the Entertainment Industry (我在娱乐圈为所欲为)
A May-December romance with Gary Stu-ish MC. It's a light and fun read. 

43. Severely Obsessed (重度迷恋)
College romance in yaoi style. ML has a leg fetish, and MC is his object. For some people, ML's pursuit of MC can be considered as sexual harassment, and MC's early acceptance of ML as dub-con. 

44. If You Don't Live Broadcast, You'll Die (不直播,就上天)
Urban fantasy featuring forensic doctors, criminal investigations, ghosts, and demons. 

45. I Became the Prettiest Young Anchor Since Then (从此我成了主播里最靓的仔)

46. Transmigrating Into The Movie Emperor's Madcap Fiancee (穿成影帝作死未婚夫)

47. You Must Inherit the Family Property If You Don't Get Yourself a Wife (不娶媳妇就要继承家产) 

48. On How a Cannon Fodder Became a Group Pet (论炮灰如何成为团宠)

49. Shut Up, You Fake Fan (闭嘴,你这假粉)

50. The Man Who Married a Tyrant (嫁给暴君的男人)

51. The Movie Emperor Goes to Farm, Raises a Baby, and Becomes Rich After Rebirth (重生后影帝种田养娃发家致富去了) 

52. He's Entangled by a Tyrant After Transmigrating Into an Ugly Man (穿成丑男后他被暴君缠上了)
A well-written problem solving/court drama story with slow burn romance and surprising twists and turns. The underlying humor is also much appreciated. 

53. I Use Physical Ways to Subdue Monsters and Slay Demons (我用物理降妖除魔)
The story's what the title says. It's a fast-paced urban fantasy, and the romance is almost instant. 

54. After Being Reborn, I and the Scum Gong's First Love are HE (重生后和渣攻的白月光HE了)
Workplace romance; MC and ML are artists in the same agency. Although there're villains and a bit dog blood drama, it's basically a simple story. 

55. Boyfriend's Brain is Sick (男友脑子有病)
The beginning of this story is very silly, but after that, it becomes a lovely hurt/comfort romance. I'm rather glad that the author didn't put everything to rights, because there're some things that are just unfixable. 

56. Forced to Transfer to Medicine Cultivation (被迫转职的医修)

57. Don't Click Enter (不要点进来)

58. The Idol and the Disabled President Officially Come Out (爱豆和残疾总裁官宣了)

59. After Picking Up a Husband from the Escaping-Marriage Scene (从逃婚现场捡回个老公后) 

60. The Day When the Villain Was Fascinated by the Male Match (反派为男配神魂颠倒的日子)
Rebirth plus transmigrating into a book plus system story. There're 3 characters with system in the story, and they have their own missions to complete. 

61. Datang Institute of Science and Engineering (大唐理工学院)
I read this long novel pretty quickly because I just couldn't put it down. It's a gen novel, btw. ML has a crush on MC, which is told in just a few sentences, and only confesses to MC in the last chapter. 

62. The Vicious Male Partner Refuses to Wash White (恶毒男配拒绝洗白)
A surprisingly well-written story. Both the title and the summary are quite ridiculous and don't reflect the complex, serious, and intriguing story at all. 

63. Star Card Grand Master (星卡大师)
An exciting and brilliant story in spite of some info dump when MC's creating his cards. The main storyline is about career, and the romance is in the fanwai. The whole story reminds me of The King's Avatar. 

64. My Boyfriend Is Stared At by a Ghost Again, What Should I Do? (男朋友又被鬼町上了怎么破)
A relaxing, entertaining, and full of dog food urban supernatural story. I love the fact that there's no secret/foreshadowing/full blown conspiracy/villain BOSS in it. 

65. I Bend Myself After Receiving the School Grass' Love Letter (收到校草情书后,我把自己掰弯了)
A very engaging story with sweet YA romance and relatable family drama. No clownish villains or coming out drama. And I love MC; he's strong, decisive, and doesn't angst over his life. 

66. Being an Eternal Partner in the Interstellar (星际之永生为伴)
A wonderful and relaxed soft sci-fi story. The first 30% of it is about MC growing up happily. The plot picks up a bit after MC goes to school, but it's still plain sailing until the end.
 
67. A Literati is Indeed a Great Writer (识字的就是文豪)
A sci-fi story with a very interesting concept. Although the basic reasoning for the plot isn't really clear to me, but the general plot is about how literature and writers save the world. 

68. Marrying an Old Man After Transmigrating Into a Book (穿书后嫁给老男人)

69. Remarrying the No-Prospects General in the Rebirth (重生之再嫁末路上将)

70. Transmigrating Into the Weak Shou's Big Brother (穿成弱受他大哥)

71. Professor, Do You Want an Inhibitor? (教授,抑制剂要吗) 



PS: I'm too lazy to add the links, so just Google the Chinese title.
