Fandoms: 成化十四年 | The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty (TV), 成化十四年 - 梦溪石 | The Fourteenth Year of Chenghua - Meng Xi Shi, Dark Matter - Michelle Paver, 别那么骄傲 | Proud of Love (TV 2016)
Happy Endings Preferred?: yes, although I’m also fine with ambiguous/unhappy endings for Dark Matter
Unwanted tropes: graphic torture, disordered eating, starvation or food-related horror, body horror, non-canonical character death, cannibalism, self-harm, traumatic amputation, unhappy endings, betrayal, degradation & humiliation (by friends and family)
Only one of the listed fandoms is an actual horror story, so I’ve done a little explanation of what tropes I think could maybe fit for each fandom if that helps. People can do whatever they like though!
成化十四年 | The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty (TV): A Chinese historical and romantic mystery drama approximately 50 episodes long, available in full on Viki or iQiyi. This is fairly light for an action-packed drama, but the main character is canonically a very pretty young man who gets abducted surprisingly often. My favourite tropes to play with here are abduction, noncon & attempted noncon, paranoia, non-graphic torture, violence, degradation & humiliation by abductors
成化十四年 - 梦溪石 | The Fourteenth Year of Chenghua - Meng Xi Shi: The novel the previous fandom was based on, available originally on jjwxc or translated on chichilations.home.blog. The novel is less lighthearted than the show, with a lot more conspiracy, betrayal, monsters, and magic. The main character is even more canonically pretty and irresistible here, and he has definitely been abducted and sexually harassed before. Fun tropes would be: abduction, noncon & attempted noncon, poisoning, monsters, non-graphic torture, violence, degradation & humiliation by abductors
Dark Matter - Michelle Paver: A fantastic short-ish ghost story/psychological horror novel available to buy anywhere, about an explorer who gets stranded in the Arctic overwinter and isn’t sure if he’s being haunted by a ghost. Fun tropes would be paranoia, psychological horror, hauntings, possession, violence, hypothermia, ambiguous/unhappy endings, claustrophobia, agoraphobia too come to think of it
别那么骄傲 | Proud of Love (TV 2016): A mostly-lighthearted slapstick Chinese youth fantasy comedy/drama, both seasons available entirely for free on Youtube. Bodyswapping, time travel, and alternate universes/timelines are all canon here, so there are plenty of possibilities. Favourite tropes are abduction, noncon & attempted noncon, claustrophobia, hypothermia, monsters, hauntings, violence, degradation/humiliation by abductors
