It refers to a female audience and usually created by female authors. In the early1990s, yaoi culture was spread to China, expanding among the young girls with the development of network. Yaoi fans are brought together on the cyber community and mobile social media. The main characters of this kind of subculture group are seeking entertainment and pursuing for freedom.
