Top Chinese Romance Anime

 

If you feel like you've seen it all with Japanese anime, why not try Chinese anime? I can understand that for many, assimilating the language can be complicated, but I can tell you that it is worth it. These anime really manage to balance everything well and give us everything we need: romance, comedy and action await you.

• Be my wife

Release date: 2019

Themes: Historical, romance, fantasy, adventure

Episodes: 41 (3 seasons)

 

Luo Luo was a professional spy and assassin until an event sent her in ancient times. She finds herself in a world she does not know, a body that is not hers. A place full of secrets and revelations. She meets Prince Nangong Liuyun who is described as a demonic tyrant but the most powerful of all. He will take interest in her, thus will start an adventure full of romance, fantasy and drama. This Chinese anime is amazing. Everything is incredibly well written. The characters are charismatic, it's a couple goal for sure. There are 3 seasons and each season is only better than the previous one.

• No doubt in us

Release date: 2021

Themes: Historical, romance, comedy

Episodes: 48 (2 seasons)

The emperor seemed to hate his wife and did not trust her. She on her side thought that this marriage was only a political union. Although they have known each other since childhood, they know nothing about each other. However, an unfortunate accident causing them to exchange their bodies will force them to understand each other and gradually bring them closer. The comedy is very well written. The graphics are very clean and the music is memorable. There is a real atmosphere. The characters are atypical and complement each other. The romance builds and is very satisfying. This anime is complete, you won't have to wait for more episodes. You can find it on YT or Netflix.

• Psychic Princess

Release date: 2018

Themes: Historical, romance, comedy, fantasy

Episodes: 16

This is one of the first Chinese anime I watched. It was a breath of fresh air considering the decline of Shoujo anime as well as anime with female protagonists. Yunxi Qian has lived most of her life as a recluse, far from civilization. On the eve of her 16th birthday, she is forced to exchange place with her younger sister, who is to marry one of the princes of the royal family. The Prince has the reputation of being cold, insensitive and heartless. The characters are badass and the opening is one of the weirdest I've ever seen! I wish the anime was longer or had a sequel.

• Shi yi chang'an

Release date: 2020

Themes: Historical, romance, drama

Episodes: 25 (2 seasons)

A political arranged marriage that will be shaken by many events and people who do not approve of this marriage. The couple will have to face threats, while trying to get to know each other, which is not easy, given the very serious and cold personality of the Prince. The graphics are among the most beautiful I've seen despite some flaws and the colors are harmonious. If you are looking for a complicated relationship, which may seem like hate/love, give it a chance. I think that season 1 exposes us to the context, dramas and that season 2 is more focused on romance.

• Spicy girl (Ma la nu pei)

Release date: 2020

Themes: Romance, comedy, drama

Episodes: 32 (8min per episode)

Su Xiao is an actress who has always dreamed of being in the spotlight and play the leading roles of beautiful, cute young women. It's not that easy because the industry constantly assigns her antagonistic roles due to her uncommon looks.

After meeting the most talented and famous actor of his generation, who has some unusual hobbies, her life will take a funny turn.

If you are looking for something similar to Skip beat, I recommend it 100%.

This anime is funny and effective. Both characters are charismatic and talented in their field. The story is simple, no brainer and refreshing. This anime is available on YT.

• Snow eagle lord

Release date: 2018

Themes: Historical, romance, fantasy, adventure

Episodes: 74 (3 seasons)

Xue Ying is desperate to bring peace and security to her province. For this, he will seek to become more and more powerful. To achieve his goal, he will have to face several encounters, comrades, friends, enemies but also love. This anime is full of action, fighting and could appeal to the majority of viewers I think. The romance of this anime has been satisfying to me even though it doesn't look like it. I really liked the personality of each of the characters. The music is beautiful and the graphics are well done for 3D.

• Lighter and Princess

Release date: 2021

Themes: Romance, comedy, school life

Episodes: 12

 

This anime is Chinese and is more mature as they attend university. Zhu Yun is one of the most brilliant students as she studies hard but also because she is under great pressure from her mother, who wants her to focus only on her studies, without distractions. She will meet a young man, who seems to be rebellious but is much more than that. This anime is available on YT. If you want to watch a short and fresh anime, I recommend it.

• Love between Fairy and Devil

Release date: 2022

Themes: Historical, romance, fantasy, adventure

Episodes: 24 (2 seasons)

Dong Fang Qing Cang is the greatest demon in this world. It was sealed by a mighty warrior for a millennium. But one day, he makes a comeback and meets our protagonist on the way. An eventful encounter since they will find themselves in each other's bodies. This anime is one of the funniest. The two characters tease and roast each other constantly and in a rather intelligent way. They have responsiveness and a unique personality. The romance develops more in season 2.
