She Came Down from the Mountain (Mystery)

Growth and Comeback Contest Entry: "I Was Born with Talent, and It Must Be Put to Use." Reason for entering: The heroine is a poor, lonely young Taoist nun from a mountain temple in Lingnan. When she is falsely accused of murder, she is forced to leave the mountain to prove her innocence. As the saying goes, an unintended act can bring about unexpected results. In the years that follow, she goes from clearing her own name to seeking justice for others. She crosses treacherous mountain paths and vast oceans, growing from a young nun who only wants to survive into a heroine who will risk her life to defend her homeland. Facing wind and rain head-on, the little nun grows into a great tree that can shelter others.

Story blurb: Could anyone have worse luck than her?

Other people who transmigrate become princesses or princess consorts, or, at worst, daughters of noble families.

But she transmigrated as a powerless young Taoist nun with no family.

And her luck gets even worse: on her very first day, she's cornered in bed and accused of murder.

With her temper, she just can't put up with it. When the absurd county magistrate tries to arrest her, she fights back. By pure bad luck, she kicks someone in a certain place, then takes advantage of his cry of pain to shove him into the water and escape.

Only later does she learn that he's the young master of a wealthy family in the capital. He could inherit a vast fortune, but instead he's determined to become the greatest criminal investigator in all of Ta Qin.

She cleverly solves the murder case, but the young master won't leave her alone.

"Taoist nun, leave the clergy and come with me to fight for justice."

"I'm not leaving the clergy, but I can come down from the mountain."

One day, the short-haired Taoist nun and a certain someone set off with their baggage to wander the world (unlucky and down on their luck).

They climb mountains and cross seas, traveling thousands of miles through the smoke of war and championing justice time and again. At last, her hair grows to her waist, and he makes a name for himself.

One day, he corners her again.

"Taoist nun, leave the clergy?"

"I'm not leaving the clergy. I think the Taoist temple the emperor built for me is quite nice."

He burst into tears. "Then I'll build a temple next to your Taoist temple. We can keep each other company with morning bells and evening drums. I can't live without you now. What am I supposed to do?"

She kicked him. "Get lost. Do whatever you want."

1. A feisty, clever fake Taoist nun XXX a case-obsessed, clueless young master. One-on-one romance.

2. Entirely fictional setting. Don't overthink it.

3. Mystery and crime-solving is the main focus.

4. The protagonists have no golden finger. They often run into problems they can't handle, and being chased, robbed, or rescued is all par for the course. But they keep pursuing the truth. This is an unconventional story about growing up~

Completed: "The Carefree County Magistrate Investigates Yinshan" (original title: "Deputy County Magistrate and Part-Time Coroner")

Blurb:

Lin Qingxian was born into a prominent family in Lijing. Just as his name suggests, his only task in life was to get married, have children, and live an ordinary, unremarkable life.

But the woman he was supposed to marry eloped with someone before the wedding...

By a twist of fate, he became a deputy county magistrate in a remote county.

From then on, Lin Qingxian knew no more carefree days.

Song Yuanjiu woke on a battlefield in the northern frontier during the Taishi dynasty. The land was in ruins, corpses were piled like mountains, and she was covered in wounds. She couldn't even remember who she was.

To survive, she disguised herself as a man and drifted to a remote county, where she found shelter at the county government office and became a coroner.

One is a deputy county magistrate, a favored son of a prominent family. The other is a lowly coroner of unknown origins, whose life is constantly in danger.

The two should have had nothing to do with each other, but fate brought them together. They came to know and understand one another, solved one mysterious case after another, and used their own abilities to protect the people of the county.

A guide for new readers:

1. A seemingly gentle but actually wise and unassuming young county magistrate XXX a cold, poor, and taciturn female coroner.

2. Entirely fictional setting. Don't overthink it.

3. Like the first two stories, this is mainly a mystery and crime-solving story. If you like it, please add it to your collection.
