Yu Qian, the acclaimed writer who penned The Ming Dynasty: Those Stories,
was tricked by an online fiction company into signing a predatory contract.
The contract stipulated that for ten years, the website would own the rights to everything Yu Qian wrote.
Academic papers, essays, commentary, personal reflections, diaries, even social media posts were all covered.
The penalty for breach of contract was a staggering 200 million!
To escape his predicament, he took the advice of Luo Xiang, a popular legal blogger, and decided to take the civil service exam. He passed and secured a government job.
And the first thing he did after getting the job was take on the online fiction industry!
He stood up for grassroots writers, punished unscrupulous websites, and drafted a standard contract!
After that, he even won the favor of the Great Xia Dragon Lord.
He turned his sword toward the entertainment industry and his blade toward the world of capital!
Tax evasion? Drugging people? Yin-yang contracts? Picking concubines? Casting couch scandals?
None of it would be tolerated!
The life motto of Yu Qian of Great Xia is: "Though my body be shattered, I fear nothing, so long as justice remains in this world!"
