A Chinese word that literally translates to, "Indulgence in Beauty". It's basically China's BL or yaoi. But unlike yaoi, Danmei isn't explicit instead being focused more on story, theme, and character. With the main characters sharing a relationship that's the most idealized version of romance that can be possible, thus the genre sharing a huge level of popularity among the female audience.

Enough so that the most popular genre on Jinjiang Literature City, a influential web novel site targeted towards women in China, is Danmei.
"We need to attract the female audience in somehow." Said a random producer.
"We'll just adapt a danmei novel then". Replied the co-worker.

Damein is an angel. He's the cutest, nicest, sweetest person you're ever likely to come across in your life. Most people confuse him with Damien but Damein is different. He's unlike anyone you've ever known and he's special and unique, just like his name. People think he's quite, shy, and a little flirty. He's only being nice, though, always polite and kind to everyone. He always has a smirk on his face and might have had a rebellious streak in his teens. He can look intimidating and scare people off but he's a softie on the inside. He means well and thinks about everyone. Especially those he loves. He will fight for you if he cares about you. He's someone you can rely on and talk to, and he's always there for you. He's an angel but you can't see his wings because he's disguised as a human. If you know Damein, though, you're the luckiest person on the planet because you'll never meet someone like him again. And if a Damein loves you, you better believe he means it because Damein is perfect.
Louise: "Is that Damien?"

Louise:" No way, I've never met a Damein before."

Daisy: "Neither have I but now he's here. He's special."

Louise: "Dhjskrjdjkakrr I always thought he was special. I'm so lucky to know him."

Daisy: "We both are."
