So i've been trying to design this setting forever.
But the issue I have (and I have discussed this elsewhere) is trying to decide on how the backdrop should be. Do I want an Empire run by an oppressive emperor? Do I want to emulate the Warring State period with an oppressed population caught in a world at war? How do I represent the Jianghu? (Which informs wanting an oppressive regime to rail against).
I just find myself dissatisfied with whatever I come up with.

Lots of popular wuxia novels are set during the decline of the Song Dynasty with the Jin or Mongols about to invade. Its a good backdrop for all kinds of story from political intrigue to adventure in the borderlands.
The Jianghu can be fighting invasion from outside and corruption from within
