Mao: My fiancee wants me to work hard, get a first, get an internship, pay her more attention...no time for Dotw these days 
Prometeus: Now, Chinese ghosts - there's something I can help with. Actually, so can my fiancee Most of Chinese mythology is either bloodsucking/lifesucking ghosts (they usually take it through seducing their victims - more fun than vampires I'd have thought), or ancient mythology - sort of like the greek myths. Then, theres the buddhist/daoist canon of monsters and gods, so dragons, Kirin/Qilin, etc. who are good, and heavenly generals or officials, who may be good or bad. For anyone who can get a copy, read the classic 'Journey to the West' (Hsi Yu Qi/Xi You Ji), where the heroes face just about every kind of monster in Chinese Mythology at the time. Chinese TV did a pretty good version recently.
For those who can read Chinese, there are now about twenty or so really good RPG's in Chinese which cover oriental legends, and I guess the Japanese who've been on the computer scene longer have also got a lot along those lines.
