(Cat and Mouse, No Differences) Jian Nan Sings to the Autumn Wind

Since this story is written in episodic arcs, I'll write a blurb for each arc. The overall structure is divided into nine parts, and the finished story will probably be around two million characters long. Every three parts form one segment. The first three focus mainly on the cases, with romance as a secondary element, and an intimate, ambiguous bond taking center stage. The middle three feature a torturous romance: their feelings become clear, but they face one obstacle after another. Romance takes the lead, with the plot in a supporting role. The direction of the final three parts is still undecided. Blurb for Part One: A painting called Ode to Beauties has gone missing from the residence of the Eighth Prince. Bao Zheng takes on the case and soon discovers that the painting has turned up in Changzhou. Zhan Zhao happens to be heading back to his hometown in Changzhou, so he is ordered to recover it. But a massacre soon takes place, and the painting is at the heart of it. What secret does the painting conceal? During the investigation, the Jade-Faced Rat Bai Yutang repeatedly clashes with Zhan Zhao because of the suspects, and the two are constantly at odds. Assassins keep appearing, too. Faced with all this confusion, how will Zhan Zhao bring the painting back, and what role will Bai Yutang play? Don't miss the thrilling story of Ode to Beauties, by Jian Nan Ge Jie Qiu Feng!
