If You’re Not Going to Plague the World, Why Become an Imperial Hound?

In the final years of the dynasty, Japanese pirates ravage the coast, corrupt ministers hold power, local gentry seize land and bleed the people dry, and the martial world is locked in endless strife.

Looking at this filthy, rotten world, Zhu Qing says, “This realm is doomed. It’s screwed!”

So he resolutely sets out to save the world, but things go a little off course:

Embezzlement case: You’re a fourth-rank official earning ten taels a month. Why is there a gold wall in your house? What do you mean you grew up poor and are too afraid to spend any money?

Rapist case: This rapist has defiled so many young women, and you, a righteous senior disciple, swore brotherhood with him? Is this what you meant by enjoying the company of heroes from all corners of the world?

Tax silver case: You gave His Majesty one million taels out of the three million in tax revenue, and even got him to thank you?

Demon case: This demonic woman has harmed countless people, and you tell her that turning over a new leaf is worth more than gold? You even tell the victims' families that she's suffered enough from her guilt, and that they should look to the future instead of dwelling on their pain?

What the hell! If I transmigrated, couldn't you have put me in the right place? Is there anyone normal in this world?!

…

Many years later.

Zhu Qing sits in the main hall, glaring coldly at his accusers, who have branded him a “brutal lackey of the imperial court,” “a man who can't tell loyal from treacherous and persecutes the worthy,” “a scourge of the martial world,” and “the number one villain on the martial world's kill list.”

“666, so you're cyberbullying me now?”

“Damn it, if I'm not making a mess of the world, how am I a lackey of the imperial court?!”

“You people are really lovesick!”
