Best character surnamed: Rong

Come and vote for the best characters with the same surname!*

What does best mean? It's up to you! Whether you love them, are intrigued by their characters, love to hate them, or they're your '2 second blorbos whose personality you made up wholesale', these are all reasons for you to vote for your favs!

*note, the surnames are not exactly the same in all the cases, as often there will be a different character. I am, however, grouping them all together otherwise things got more complicated.

Propaganda is very welcome! If I’ve forgotten anyone, let me know in the notes.

This is part of a larger series of ‘best character with X surname’ polls’. The overview with ongoing polls, winners, and future polls can be found here

GO Into Your Heart. 5

Story: 7

Acting: 7

Chemistry: 8

Comparable to: Skate Into Love (cdrama) ; My Unicorn Girl (cdrama); Falling Into Your Smile (kdrama)

You know how there’s simply some dramas you just can’t get into, well this one is one of them for me. I tried to hang in there for at least nine episodes, after that I sadly couldn’t manage to last any longer. It felt repetitive after awhile. It’s very stretch out and I guess they had to considering it’s 41 episodes long. That’s not to say this is a bad drama, I can definitely see it’s appeal for others. For me though the pacing seemed off, it was cliche’ to the point on borderline cringe sometimes. It’s basically a cutesy romance series very reminiscent of other storylines that’s more geared for the younger watchers. Now sometimes I really enjoy watching them, sometimes I don’t 🤷‍♀️. Honestly I think I have to be in the right mood to truly appreciate and enjoy them. With that said it’s a mix bag to choose.

Danmei and Baihe C Novels and Manhua Officially Licensed in English

Things are getting licensed fast enough that keeping a list like this up-to-date is basically impossible, but I saw someone asking in the tags so I figured I'd try. All titles are danmei unless otherwise noted (very little baihe is licensed so far). I've included Chinese titles and linked novelupdates for each title when I was able to find them, but sometimes publishers change the original titles so much that I can't track them down, apologies.

Basically: this is everything I know of as of April 12, 2024. There might be more. I tried.

For the latest danmei news, Danmeinews.com is a great resources.

Note that some of this information was sourced from this Carrd, last updated in March 2023.

Honorable Mentions:

There are a handful of titles I know of that are official translations of C Novels, where the C Novels aren't danmei or baihe but are often treated as adjacent within fandom (as in: I've seen people shipping characters from them, lol). I've included two above under the entry for titles from Aloha Comics (Link Click and Nirvana in Fire) and here are a couple others I currently know of:

The Grave Robbers' Chronicles (Daomu Biji) by Nanpai Sanshu (six volumes are available in English from Things Asian Press

The Legend of the Condor Heroes (She Diao Yingxiong Chuan) by Jin Yong from St. Martin's Press

Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Sanguo Yanyi), attributed to Luo Guanzhong, available in multiple translations

The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants (Zonglie Xiayi Chuan), attributed to Shi Yukun, there are two translations to English listed at the linked Wikipedia page

Note that to the best of my knowledge both of these are considered very substandard translations. I've personally read the official DMBJ translations and... yeah... and I've heard the LOCH translation is also mediocre.

I will add to the "Honorable Mentions" list if I find any other more mainstream titles with official translations.

Please don't come at me for including a couple classics. The characters shippable, what can I do? I've written fic for Romance of the Three Kingdoms...

-

A handful of other licenses are mentioned on the Carrd I linked at the beginning of this post; I have no idea the status of those titles and wasn't able to find information on them while putting together this post other than what was listed on that Carrd, so I've omitted them.

As a final note, I've personally purchased from every printer on this list EXCEPT Monogatari Novels (I'm holding off because of the controversy and will see how things play out) and Chaleuria (which I vaguely knew existed but nothing beyond that).

Seven Seas translation varies but the editing is general strong and the editions are sturdy and nice. Extras that have come with final volumes are lovely. I am buying literally everything they publish except for You've Got Mail, due to information about the author that was shared with me that the author is a transphobe. Note that Kinnporsche by Daemi is not danmei as it's Thai (and I've heard unsavory things about the author - I don't have a link for that as the information was shared with me on Discord, and I encourage you to do your own research rather than taking my word for it). No judgement if you make a different choice than me, to be clear, I'm just sharing the information I have and why I personally am not buying the books). Note that Seven Seas isn't without controversy, especially for treating their contractors poorly resulting in them unionizing. Some people have also been unhappy with the fidelity of their translations compared to the original Chinese (I've been satisfied personally but ymmv).

Peach Flower House has inconsistent inconsistent editing quality, but the books are very readable, and I'm excited that they're working with translators such as E. Danglars. I haven't bought any of their special editions so can't speak to their extras, but I've bought all their print translations and will continue to do so going forward.

I just got my first title from Via Lactea last week and finished reading it on Sunday, and the translation read very well and there were minimal errors. It also came with a bundle of cute extras, which I wasn't expecting and pleased, and writing this post has caused me to cave and spend $150 to buy the rest of their books. Thank you, tax refund. (Should I spend this money? No. Did I anyway? ...)

No Rosmei titles have actually shipped yet, so I can't speak to their quality, though the previews they've shared on social media (as outlined here, for example) read decently and I'm optimistic. The cover art is also lovely, and they've been communicative and responsive, for example they've already issued a statement related to a recent controversy over perceived poor marketing for At the World's Mercy.

Tl:dr, the above is absolutely everything I personally know about mlm and wlw Chinese novels and manhua that have been licensed for English publication. I hope it helps someone.

Now go forth, and buy some books!

History of Chinese BL (danmei)

Excerpts from Forbidden love: incest, generational conflict, and the erotics of power in Chinese BL fiction by Yanrui Xu and Ling Yang.

[History of danmei]

Chinese BL fiction first appeared around 1998, under the influence of Japanese BL manga and BL fan culture.

Japanese BL media arrives in China

In the early 1990s, a large number of Japanese manga entered Chinese market, including titles with BL elements like RG Veda (1989–1996), Tokyo Babylon (1990–1993), and X (1992–2003) created by CLAMP, and more typical BL manga such as Zetsuai 1989 (Absolute Love 1989, 1989) by Minami Ozaki.

In the second half of 1990s, Japanese BL fiction, like Ai no Kusabi (Wedge in the Relationship, 1986–1987) written by Rieko Yoshihara, Hono no Miraju (Mirage of Blaze, 1990–2004) by Mizuna Kuwabara, and Fujimi Orchestra (1994–) by Akizuki Ko also gained popularity in China.

[Chinese Platforms]

In 1998, Sangsang Academy a prominent website for Chinese manga fans, began to offer a special section for BL works.

At first, most BL works posted there were either translations of Japanese works or more often than not, unauthorized repostings of works of Taiwanese writers. This practice soon provoked a unanimous protest from Taiwanese BL writers, which in turn motivated mainland BL fans to produce their own original BL works.

The following two years witnessed a substantial increase in the quality and quantity of BL fiction, an intense effort to cultivate unique individual styles, and a collective ambition to compete with foreign counterparts.

[Styles]

Some BL writers borrowed themes and plot devices from popular martial arts novels, a derivative of the traditional ‘chaptered novel’.

Chaptered novel (zhanghui xiaoshuo) is a type of novel written in the vernacular, with each chapter headed by a couplet giving the gist of its content. The novelist form became mature in the sixteenth century. Well-known classical novels of Chinese literature, such as Journey to the West (Xiyou Ji), The Plum in the Golden Vase (Jin Ping Mei), and Dream of the Red Chamber (Honglou Meng) are all written in this form.

Others, influenced by Japanese BL novels, honed their skills in nuanced psychological description and indirect expressions.

A few ‘European-style’ BL writers not only drew on European history for plot ideas but imitated the solemn diction of Chinese translation of European classics.

[Transnational differences]

[C]ontrary to Japanese manga’s tendency to portray foreign characters in exotic foreign settings

[E]arly Chinese BL stories are often set in ancient China, tapping into indigenous male homosexual tradition that ‘dates back to at least the Bronze Age’.

[Full Circle]

Since the turn of the new century, mainland writers have been confident enough to post their works on Taiwanese websites and release tankobon in Taiwan.

In 2011, Feng Yu Jiu Tian (Phoenix in the Ninth Heaven), a novel written by leading Chinese BL writer Feng Nong, was adapted into a manga series and published in Japan by Libre Publishing. The translated manga bears the new succinct title Outaishi wa Mujihi ni Ubawareru (The Crown Prince is Raped Pitilessly). Concurrently, an extra story of Phoenix in the Ninth Heaven named ‘Bath Dreams’ was also published in famous Japanese BL magazine BeBoy Gold.

[Commercialization]

One community that has made a significant contribution to the initial boom of BL in China is the Lucifer Club. Established in 1999, Lucifer is the first online forum dedicated solely to BL and remained for a long time the most influential BL website in China. Despite a rigorous membership registration and monitoring system, Lucifer quickly earned its reputation as the ‘holy land’ for BL fans and drew many well-known BL writers.

Unfortunately, in 2007, when a registered writer was accused of plagiarism, the club administrators mishandled the charge. As a result, almost two thirds of regular writers and readers left the club as a gesture of protest.

Since then, Lucifer’s popularity has suffered a remarkable decline.

In the meantime, commercial literature websites such as Jinjiang and My Fresh attracted a large number of BL writers and readers as a result of their steady growth and proper management.

[JJWXC]

Established in 2003, Jinjiang is now the largest women’s literature website in China.

Our calculation shows that, as of February 2012, about 199,100 BL stories have been published on Jinjiang, among which 145,600 are original; the rest are fan fiction.

‘Jinjiang’s easy access serves to effectively disseminate danmei to a broader fan base and helps to mainstream this previously marginal subculture.’

[Censorship and penalty]

In early 2011, the Zhengzhou police bureau busted a commercial BL website of 600,000 registered users and arrested a dozen young writers under the charge of spreading obscene articles.

Shen, C., and Y. Li. 2011. “Zhengzhou pohuo huangse xiaoshuo wangzhan qianyue zuozhe duoshi ershisui nühai.” [Zhengzhou Busted Pornographic Fiction Website Most of the Contracted Authors are 20-Year-Old Girls.] Accessed February 9, 2012. http://news.xinhuanet.com/legal/2011-03/21/c_121212463.htm

[Subgenres]

In the course of development, Chinese BL fiction has split into many subgenres, and each subgenre has its own stable readership.

In narrative style, there are ‘abuse fiction’ (nüe wen), ‘sweet fiction’ (tian wen) and ‘realistic fiction’ (xianshi xiang wen).

‘Abuse fiction’, as the name indicates, features physical and mental abuse, including rape, BDSM and imprisonment. It might be the equivalent of ‘darkfic’ in Western fanfic.

‘Sweet fiction’ is similar to ‘fluff’, generally set in an everyday domestic environment, emphasizing the tender love between the seme and the uke.

‘Realistic fiction’ is so named because the characters and plots in those stories are more realistic, often indistinguishable from gay literature.

In pairing and characterization, there is a variety of combination, such as strong seme × weak uke, strong seme × strong uke, weak seme × strong uke, weak seme × weak uke, or ‘reversible’.

According to their settings, BL stories can be divided into fantasy stories, classical stories [aka historical setting] and modern stories.

Since age discrepancy between the seme and uke is an important element, distinction is also made between ‘old seme fiction’ (nianshang wen), in which the seme is older than the uke, and ‘young seme fiction’ (nianxia wen), in which the age situation is reversed.

In addition, there are a number of BL subgenres that particularly test readers’ tolerance for taboo subjects, for example: mpreg, hermaphrodite protagonist and incest.

真情像草原廣闊

zhen qing xiang cao yuan guang kuo

The truth is like the grassland

層層風雨不能阻隔

ceng ceng feng yu bu neng zu ge

The wind and rain can not stop

總有雲開 日出時候

zong you yun kai  ri chu shi hou

There’s always a cloud at sunrise.

萬丈陽光照耀你我

wan zhang yang guang zhao yao ni wo

The sun shines on you and me

真情像梅花開過

zhen qing xiang mei hua kai guo

True love is like a plum blossom

冷冷冰雪不能掩沒

瞭解詳情

leng leng bing xue bu neng yan mei

Cold and ice can not cover it

就在最冷 枝頭綻放

jiu zai zui leng  zhi tou zhan fang

The branches always bloom during the coldest weather 

看見春天走向你我

kan jian chun tian zou xiang ni wo

See the spring towards you and me

雪花飄飄北風嘯嘯

xue hua piao piao bei feng xiao xiao

The snow is fluttering and the north wind is whistling

天地 一片 蒼茫

tian di  yi pian  cang mang

The world is vast

一剪寒梅 傲立雪中

yi jian han mei  ao li xue zhong

A cold plum standing proudly in the snow

只為 伊人 飄香

zhi wei  yi ren  piao xiang

Only fragrance for the beautiful girl

愛我所愛無怨無悔

ai wo suo ai wu yuan wu hui

Love what I love without regret

此情 長留 心間

ci qing  zhang liu  xin jian

This love long stays in my heart
