Chinese tropes it remixes
- 萌宝 méngbǎo — Cute BabyA single mother's genius child (or twins, or triplets) engineers the reunion with the billionaire father who never knew. The kids get the best lines.
- 重生 chóngshēng — RebirthDie betrayed, wake up years earlier with every memory intact, fix everything. The engine behind half of Chinese web fiction; the period-nostalgia version ('Back to 1985') is a genre of its own.
- 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.
