Jinjiang opened in Beijing in 2003 as an original-fiction forum and grew into one of China's largest hubs for women's web novels, spanning romance to danmei.

Authors publish chapters on a rolling schedule; readers pay a small fee per installment and comment on updates.

The hit drama "The Untamed" adapts the novel Jinjiang serialized, and many live-action shows trace back to it. Content runs in Chinese for domestic readers; overseas fans mostly rely on unofficial translations.

Jinjiang has faced multiple content crackdowns. Explicit BL content, certain themes, and political content are removed. In 2021, Jinjiang was fined and ordered to remove thousands of stories. Many authors self-censor heavily.

Why is Jinjiang called China's AO3?

Jinjiang is the largest Chinese platform for romance and BL fiction, similar to Archive of Our Own's fandom focus. Unlike AO3, Jinjiang is a commercial platform with paid chapters and content censorship compliant with Chinese regulations.

Can I read Jinjiang novels in English?
