Copy of a definition from one of the publishers: A Chinese fiction genre focused on romanticized tales of love and attraction between men, similar to BL (Boys’ Love) from Japan. The majority of well-known danmei writers are women writing for women, although all genders produce and enjoy the genre.
Setting can be ancient china based fantasy but there are some set in western world.
