Chinese romance novels were popular because they fulfilled people's yearning for romance, love, and happiness. The creation of romance novels usually focused on the twists and turns of the plot, portraying the distinct characters and personalities, while also integrating some cultural elements and values such as love, family, loyalty, respect, and so on. These elements all cater to people's emotional needs, so romance novels have a wide influence and audience in Chinese culture. In addition, there was fierce competition in the romance novel market in China. Many people were constantly exploring new writing methods and styles, which also led to the uneven quality of novels. Although Chinese romance novels have some shortcomings, they satisfy many people's needs for romance, love and happiness, which is one of the reasons why they are so popular.
