One of the best is 'The Postman Always Rings Twice' by James M. Cain. It features a femme fatale who uses her charm and wiles to manipulate the male protagonist into a web of passion, crime, and ultimately doom.
femme fatale was a term used to describe the destructive power of women in ancient novels. It often described their beauty, intelligence, flirtatiousness, seduction, and other characteristics. At the same time, it often implied that they might bring misfortune and disaster. The following are some classic poems describing the ancient femme fatale:
1. Sinking fish and falling geese, closing the moon and shaming flowers. Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty,"Fu De Gu Yuan Cao Farewell"
The two countries break the mountains and rivers in the city, and the spring grass is deep. Tang Dynasty Du Fu's "Spring View"
(3) Gentle as water, a good time is like a dream. The Magpie Bridge Immortal by Qin Guan in Tang Dynasty
(4) There is a time when this hatred will last forever. Song of Everlasting Regret by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty
Fox Spirit, White Snake Spirit, Lin Daiyu, Wang Xifeng, etc. were all representative images of femme fatale in ancient novels.
These poems vividly described the beauty, temptation and danger of women through their appearance and became classic images in literary history.
One common theme is seduction. The femme fatale uses her charm and allure to draw in the male characters, often leading them astray. Another theme is deception. They are often not what they seem on the surface, hiding their true motives and intentions. For example, in 'Gone Girl', Amy uses her wits and false personas to deceive those around her.
In pulp fiction, the femme fatale is typically mysterious. Her past is often shrouded in secrecy, which adds to her allure. She may have her own hidden motives and agendas that are not immediately clear. This mystery makes her a very interesting character.
In graphic novels, femme fatales typically have a sense of mystery about them. They keep their true motives hidden. Their appearance is often striking, with a unique style of dress or look that sets them apart. They are also fearless, not afraid to take risks or engage in dangerous situations. This could be seen in how they might infiltrate a dangerous gang or face a powerful villain on their own. They are masters of deception, making others believe things that may not be true in order to achieve their goals.
In detective novels, a femme fatale is often extremely alluring. She uses her charm to manipulate the male characters, usually the detective or the suspects. For example, in 'The Big Sleep', the femme fatale uses her beauty to draw the detective into a complex web of mystery and danger.

"Beauty's Disaster" was an ancient romance novel written by Xiao.
I can recommend two novels about femme fatale to you. The first book was " I am a femme fatale ", an ancient romance novel. The protagonist, Yun Jia, transmigrated into a fake emperor who disguised herself as a man and even contracted a trashy system that helped her find a partner. However, the trash system told her that the target she wanted to attack was the Regent who wanted to murder her and usurp her throne. Then, there were all kinds of happy and silly scenes. The second book was " The Concubine of Evil Favor Is a Beauty ", which was an ancient romance novel about fighting in the palace. The protagonist was a femme fatale abandoned by her father, but she had a beauty that could topple a country. After being a loyal minister, she became a famous concubine in the palace. I hope these two novels will be a feast for your eyes. It's great that you like one of them.
, I recommend the following femme fatale novels to you:
[Fallen God Demon Concubine is too black-bellied]: After a peerless goddess came out of the Divine World, she was cunning and did not show her true colors. She pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger. She greedily joined forces with the Eight Desolates to kill the gods and became enemies. Then, she turned into a demon and dominated the Chaotic Primordial Realm. Since this book was also a fantasy romance novel, it was more similar to the style of a femme fatale!
"Rebirth of a Humble Class": The story was about a poor boy who was down and out because of a femme fatale and a failed competition. However, after he was reborn, he was moved when he repaid the woman who had helped him. Other than the theme of the story being a femme fatale, the style of writing was also very similar!
<Beauty Rumors>: Empress Dowager Rong of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was a vicious but beautiful woman, like a viper! Although the story didn't mention the setting of a femme fatale, the character setting and plot development were very similar to the femme fatale character!
I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
The femme fatale originally referred to Lady Li, the favorite concubine of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. According to the records of the 67th Biography of the Consorts in the 97th volume of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty included Hongyan, which referred to Mrs. Li. This idiom was later used to refer to women who could confuse people and cause disasters.
