I also think of 'Eternal Love'. The love between Bai Qian and Ye Hua endures many hardships. They are separated by misunderstandings, family feuds and the rules of the celestial world, which gives their love a touch of hopelessness at certain points.
One of the well - known hopeless love novels is 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte. The love between Heathcliff and Catherine is full of passion yet doomed. Their social differences and personal vendettas keep them apart in a very tragic way.
One common theme is family opposition. In many Chinese novels, the family often has a big say in marriage. For example, in traditional families, they may value family status, wealth and reputation more than the love between two young people, which leads to the hopelessness of love.
'Call Me by Your Name' by André Aciman is also a great option. It's set in Italy during a summer and follows the relationship between a 17 - year - old boy and a 24 - year - old graduate student. The descriptions of their budding love, the Italian landscape, and the bittersweet nature of their relationship make it a great read for hopeless romantics on Valentine's Day.
There is also 'Romance of the Western Chamber'. Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying's love story is filled with challenges. They have to overcome various difficulties such as family opposition and feudal ethics, showing a tenacious 'love knot'.
I'm not sure which specific 'Steal Love' Chinese novel you are referring to. There are a large number of Chinese novels, and without more context, it's difficult to recommend a particular one.
There are quite a few novels with this theme. Another example might be 'Reborn: Pampering My Husband to Heaven'. It focuses on a female lead who is reborn and devotes herself to loving her husband and building a better relationship than in her previous life. She uses her knowledge from her past life to deal with various situations and make their love stronger.
I'm not sure specifically which 'Stolen Love' Chinese novel you are referring to. There are many novels in Chinese literature, and without more context, it's difficult to recommend a particular one.
One famous 'Deadly Love' Chinese novel could be 'The Three - Body Problem' by Liu Cixin. Although it's mainly a science - fiction novel, it contains elements of complex relationships and the 'deadly' challenges faced by humanity, which can be related to a kind of 'deadly love' for the planet and the future.
There is also a novel simply named 'Hidden Love'. It typically depicts the unspoken love between the main characters. Maybe it starts from a small crush and gradually develops into a deep but hidden love. The story might be set in different backgrounds, like in a school or in a workplace, which adds more flavor to the hidden love theme.
There are numerous Chinese novels exploring the concept of taking risks in love. While I may not be familiar with a particular 'Gamble on Love' novel, many modern Chinese love stories involve elements of gambling in a sense. For example, some stories might have characters who take a chance on a relationship that seems uncertain, like falling in love with someone from a different social class or with a complex past. You can look for such themes in the contemporary Chinese romance genre.
