It wasn't very common for online novels to involve foreign plots, but some authors might try to write novels that transcended cultural differences. These novels might involve the history, culture, characters, and other elements of different countries to show the collision and exchange between different cultures. In China, there were also some stories about Western dating culture, such as "Romance of the Western Chamber" in "Dream of the Red Chamber." There were also some novels that described the exchange and understanding between different cultures through the stories of Chinese and foreign characters.
