The Ming Dynasty's Obsession Cleaner

This is just writing practice. Don't read it.

Ming Dynasty setting: A capital socialite (who goes bankrupt) and a capital bureaucrat (who gets demoted) embark on an adventure through the jianghu.

Zhao Mingzhu is the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the capital. She has lived a carefree life of luxury since childhood. But everything changes on an ordinary night, when her mother tells her through tears, "Something terrible has happened to our family. Don't come back to the capital again." She rushes Mingzhu out of the city.

And just like that, Mingzhu begins a life on the run, with no idea what's going on.

As she flees, she gradually learns what happened to her family. Her parents have been thrown in prison, her elder brother's fate is unknown, and the family business has fallen into someone else's hands...

She originally planned to escape the capital and scrape by for the rest of her life, but someone has already sent assassins to wipe her out.

Gu Xianzhi is an assistant minister of the Court of Judicial Review. Upright and impartial, he carries out his duties to the letter. At this time, he is "investigating cases across the realm on behalf of His Majesty."

Lin Can suggests taking Mingzhu along and protecting her, but Gu Xianzhi says, "Stop dumping every Tom, Dick, and Harry on me!"

Mingzhu: …

After several rounds of "fighting," Mingzhu eventually joins Gu Xianzhi on his journey to solve cases...

Though her life is no longer in immediate danger, the journey is far from pleasant. They are always short on travel money, and often can't even count on getting three meals a day.

Every place they visit seems to bring another shocking case... The tangled grudges between the imperial court and the jianghu stir up a storm...

[Character Profiles]

The female lead is full of vitality, like a cockroach that just won't die. She can be crying one moment, then wolf down three bowls of rice and rally herself the next!

The male lead is a very gentle and patient gentleman.

They have a huge argument the first time they meet, and the male lead makes it clear how much he dislikes her. Later, he ends up eating his words and falling hopelessly in love.

Once he falls for her, he shows off like a peacock every step of the way. The female lead is slower to catch on and doesn't realize she is in love.

PS: A very exciting side couple will appear later.

One-on-one, both leads are each other's first, happy ending.

A collection of standalone cases, with mystery, jianghu adventures, and investigations. As the leads take on one challenge after another, the mystery of why the family was confiscated and the official demoted will also be gradually unraveled.

This is a fictional story set in the Ming Dynasty. Neither the female nor the male lead is based on a real person, though some other characters are.

Theme: Stay true to yourself and your ideals.
