The White Lotus, also called the White Lotus Bitch, is a stock female character type commonly found in Chinese internet novels.

The term refers to a female character who appears innocent, naïve, impossibly perfect, and pure on the surface, but uses this reputation to back stab, blame, or sling mud on others. The term was inspired by the lotus plant, which has a beautiful flower floating on top of water, hiding the plant's messy roots stuck in marshy mud.

Common traits include: Jealousy or greed as primary motivations for the behavior Crying to manipulate others Relying on powerful men

Pretending to be wronged or scared of someone Using apologies to appear bullied Wears white Pretending to be saintly or perfect Uses lying and their innocent reputations as their main weapons Volatile temper which eventually gives themselves away Generally an antagonist, love rival, or stepmother Written as dislikable to the reader

Related to the Green Tea Bitch, which is a similar character who appears kind, but is actually scheming. Level of intelligence and likability tend to be the difference, with the White Lotus losing out on both. Example: A Green Tea Bitch would leave an expensive necklace out to tempt a maid into stealing it, so she could black mail her, while a White Lotus would simply lie that it was stolen and cry to get a maid punished. White Lotus characters tend to be dislikable, and as such are often villains of the story.
