Fated Lovers
No matter how hard fate tries, nothing will tear fated lovers apart. This Reading List is reserved for Romantic Fantasy & Science Fiction stories with romance as a main focus. Stories may contain tropes like love at first sight, reincarnated lovers, immortal x mortal, demon x human, royalty x commoner pairings, second male lead syndrome, childhood friends to lovers, and enemies/rivals to lovers. This also includes classic retellings of popular Asian myths and fairytales such as The White Snake or the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in Chinese mythology or a Pacific Islander twist on classic fairytales likeThe Little Mermaid or Snow White.
Common tropes in this genre include, but are not limited to:
✿ Reincarnation / Rebirth: Couples may experience misfortune in a past lifetime, but meet again for the final test of the strength of their love in a later lifetime (usually modern times).
✿ Revenge: The main character has been killed off in the most brutal way or betrayed and humiliated by their first love. They usually return a few years in the past to prevent the horrible events from happening the same way. Or, they encounter a new love interest who is willing to help her exact her revenge and reclaim her position in society. Characters are usually strong-willed women with martial arts background and high intelligence or a weak-looking woman who learns to stand up for herself.
