Origin & tropes
Remixes the Chinese tropes 契约婚姻 (Contract Marriage) + 打脸 (Face-Slap) + 总裁文 (CEO Romance).
Chinese tropes it remixes
- 契约婚姻 qìyuē hūnyīn — Contract MarriageA marriage on paper with rules against falling in love — which both parties break. Usually a CEO and a woman saving her family's company.
- 打脸 dǎliǎn — Face-SlapThe hero is mocked, cheated or dumped, then returns with wealth, power or the truth and watches every tormentor eat their words. Chinese audiences call the satisfying moment 爽 (shuǎng, 'release'). Western verticals borrowed the structure wholesale.
- 总裁文 zǒngcái wén — CEO Romance'President fiction': the cold, obscenely rich CEO and the ordinary woman who thaws him. The ur-genre of Chinese romance webnovels since the 2000s and the default setting of English verticals.
