Can you recommend some Asian hero romance novels?

One popular Asian hero romance novel is 'A Bride's Story' by Kaoru Mori. It features a strong female lead and an Asian hero in a historical setting with beautiful illustrations and a heartwarming story of love and family.

One Asian romance novel worth mentioning is 'Fated to Love You'. It has a very interesting plot. The female lead accidentally gets pregnant after a one - night stand with the male lead, who is a rich and powerful man. Their relationship starts off rocky but gradually develops into a deep and true love. And 'Crash Landing on You' is also a wonderful Asian romance novel. It's about a South Korean heiress who accidentally paraglides into North Korea and falls in love with a North Korean army officer. The story shows the cultural differences and the power of love across boundaries.

One Asian romance novel that's worth reading is 'The Vegetarian' by Han Kang. It's not a typical love story but explores complex relationships in a very interesting way. Also, 'Snow Flower and the Secret Fan' by Lisa See is a great pick. It delves into the deep friendship and love between two women in an Asian cultural context, with a lot of historical details that add to the charm of the story. Then there's 'Crazy Rich Asians' which shows the glitzy and complex world of the Asian rich and the romances that unfold within it.

One characteristic is the cultural backdrop. Asian hero romance novels often draw on rich Asian cultures such as Japanese, Chinese or Korean. For example, in many Japanese - set novels, there are elements like traditional festivals, kimono, and tea ceremonies.

They tend to have rich cultural backgrounds. Chinese hero romance novels might incorporate elements of traditional Chinese medicine, martial arts, or historical dynasties, which add depth to the story and the relationship between the hero and the heroine.

Well, 'Crazy Rich Asians' by Kevin Kwan can also be considered in a way. While it focuses a lot on the wealthy Asian society, the love story of the Asian heroine is a significant part of the plot. It shows the complex relationships and the cultural backdrop that shapes the romance.

One popular Asian gay romance novel is 'No Touching at All' by Kou Yoneda. It tells a tender and somewhat bittersweet story of two men's relationship development.

Well, 'The Good Earth' by Pearl S. Buck is a great Asian - inspired historical romance novel. It tells the story of a Chinese farmer and his family, and there are elements of love and family relationships within the historical context of rural China. Also, 'Memoirs of a Geisha' is a well - known novel that delves into the world of geishas in Japan and has a romantic undertone.

One more that I would like to recommend is 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before' by Jenny Han. Although it has been made into a movie, the book is really charming. It focuses on a half - Korean American girl whose love letters get sent out accidentally, leading to a series of romantic encounters.

Sure. 'Call Me By Your Name' by André Aciman is a beautiful novel that has Asian and gay themes. It's a story of a young man's first love. Another one could be 'The God of Small Things' by Arundhati Roy, which contains some complex relationships that can be related to gay Asian experiences.
