    I saw a an interactive story app on Playstore, it was about a woman married to a super rich super handsome super vampire but he has a mistress and he treats her like trash and the mistress as Queen
    I thought I added it to my wishlist but looks like I didn't

    Honestly I'm more than tired of the CEOs rich masters Lord's and etc abusive husbands and their "amazing" wives/slave wife(or husband/bf depending on the genre... Actually most of the yaoi ones just seem to be flat out rape victims but I digress.) Seems like 98% of current tls are that and generic hypocrite xianxia mcs. Where the mc is a great and fair person who will slaughter completely innocent people just cuz they lived in the town with someone they were pissed at 9-9

    It must have all started with 50 shades of grey to have this CEO virus spreading around authors to create these kind of novel. :blobjoy::blobjoy:

    Rich pompous assholes pretty much describes the end result of every single chinese mc. Sometimes they just start them that way so they don't have to come up with a plot to get them to their desired end result. Just shows how lazy they've gotten.

    Is it still a cultural thing for Chinese women to be pushed to marry higher than their "station"? Curious, cause I'm pretty sure it was still that way a decade ago or so. That might be the reason behind that. I'm really hoping that 50 shades is not the cause, because that would mean way more people overseas need to bleach their brains to absolve that crap than should be necessary.

    Also, for that title, either author was reeeeally lazy, or (and I know this hope is doomed to failure) they were making an ironic point about the genre as a whole
