No specific fandom. The tone I'm after is Maximum Camp (tm). I want us to lean so hard into the tropes that we fall over into a lotus pond. And get up wet with a hair toss in slow-mo looking unrealistically gorgeous. No shame. Just pure, unadulterated, historically inaccurate romantic yearning.
My character: restrained, cool, emotionally constipated scholar-warrior. I am utterly, desperately devoted to you from the moment we met but I will not say a single word about it for eighty-eight posts and will do everything behind the scenes to keep you safe. When I finally do admit it, it will cost me three pints of blood and a piece of my soul as I defend you against an endless horde of enemies, and you may only glimpse it when I look at you — just you — for that one moment before you lose consciousness and/or I get stabbed in the back and 'die'.
Shotgun on the flute.
Your character: whatever you like. Example might be the exuberant, extroverted, charming, wildly witty, morally grey and misunderstood protagonist who's probably drinking wine on a roof right now.
We will steal tropes and storylines from everywhere. And I want these included:
- We are the two most aggressively beautiful people in at least three surrounding provinces. An NPC drops a cabbage cart or walks into a wall staring at either of us. Fans are snapped shut in awe. An old man sighs about the tragedy of our beauty as we walk past. Even the Emperor has heard about it. If there is no town gossip about our jade-like skin and starlight eyes by the second IC post, why are we even writing? (Purple prose can be used ironically.)
- The holy trinity of relationship dynamics, preferably happening simultaneously:
I want the most WTF-lmao English translations for our clans and locations, but I want them to be ironically elegant in Mandarin, e.g. someone came from the Thunder Clap Shocked Face Angry Cloud Mountain (惊雷云巅).
Word count: I usually write ~500 words per post, enough to describe one of us being falsely accused of treason and the other takes a whip lashing on their behalf, or we landed in a magical healing cave where one of us has to transfer spiritual energy to the other in a highly intimate manner and then we pretend it never happened.
Posting frequency: once a fortnight, once a month, whenever the ink dries or the stars align.
If real life strikes and you want to ghost the RP, do not just fall off a cliff. Leave me a note while I'm not there and tell me you must go. Tell me it is not what you want. Tell me it is for my own good. I will read it when I return and weep a single tear.
I will drink imperial wine under a full moon while it is snowing and play my flute.
I will wait sixteen years.

1, Enemies to Lovers (our sects have a blood feud);
2, Arranged Marriage (the Emperor forced us to wed to stop the blood feud);
3, Star-crossed Lovers (evil will befall the world as predicted by the heavens if we are together but you are literally the only one who can save me).
