Recent research has focused on the difficulties and strategies for Chinese literature translation and the comparison between fan translation and professional translation. Although the translation of entertainment media of Japanese boy’s love genre has an extensive background, there has been less focus on its Chinese variant, the danmei genre, which was popularized due to online practices such as fan translation and the publication of its official novel translations in the West. The aim of this study is to typify the paratexts in the official English translation of the eight volumes of the novel Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu. Specifically, the paratexts found in the novel produced by the author, translator, and editor; and those from the Internet produced by fans, critics, and professionals. Therefore, it is assumed that most of the paratexts found in and of the literary work are original, anthumous, editorial peritexts of both verbal and iconic manifestation as well as ulterior, public, anthumous epitexts of verbal order according to Genette's (1997) and Batchelor's (2018) paratextual theory. This investigation also proposes that these elements fulfill various functions, as suggested by Xu (2010), Nord (2010), and Batchelor (2018). Primarily, they are presumed to be informational, generic, hermeneutic, and evaluative. Additionally, they are believed to fulfill the referential and expressive functions outlined in Nord's four-function model.
