The Cold Love Interests tag features the iconic 'iceberg' archetype, ranging from ruthless overbearing CEOs to detached immortal cultivators who have long forsaken worldly emotions. In the world of webnovels, these characters are defined by their stoic exterior, sharp wit, and a seemingly impenetrable heart. Readers are drawn to the high-stakes tension of the slow-burn romance, where the ultimate reward is witnessing the moment a powerful, distant lead finally loses their composure for the protagonist. Common tropes include the 'tsundere' transformation, protective possessiveness, and the satisfying 'chasing crematorium' arc where the cold lead must work to earn back the protagonist's favor. Whether it is a hidden doting personality or a gradual emotional awakening, these stories offer a deeply addictive blend of angst and heartfelt devotion that keeps fans coming back for every chapter.
