Origin & tropes
Remixes the Chinese tropes 契约婚姻 (Contract Marriage) + 追妻火葬场 (Regret & Chase) + 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.
- 追妻火葬场 zhuīqī huǒzàngchǎng — Regret & ChaseLiterally 'chase the wife into the crematorium': a cold husband realises what he had only after losing her, then grovels. Peak angst; comment sections rate how much he suffers.
- 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.
