Dream of the Red Chamber: The Imperial Orphan

Ten years ago, the seriously ill Retired Emperor sent his youngest son out of the palace. Unexpectedly, his health took a turn for the better. He sent people to search for the boy, but they found no trace of him. Ever since, it had weighed on his mind.

Five years later, Jia Zheng came across a homeless child, adopted him, and gave him the name Jia Long.

After transmigrating into Dream of the Red Chamber, he becomes Jia Long.

In the Jia household, he is invisible, with an even lower status than a concubine-born son.

At first, all he wants is to earn some money, join the army and win a noble title, save the doomed women of the Four Great Families, and experience the decadent life of an aristocrat.

Who could have guessed...

Through one careless move, he becomes the representative of the military nobility, and a thorn in the side of the civil officials.

The Retired Emperor quietly cultivates immortality.

The Emperor strongly backs the civil officials.

With no other choice,

Jia Long quietly begins plotting a rebellion.

When he leads his army into the palace, ready to personally kill the old scoundrel,

the Retired Emperor says, "My son, you've finally rebelled."

Jia Long: "???"

The Retired Emperor says, "This is the dragon robe I prepared for you, my son. Try it on."

Jia Long: "Damn it... Other fathers get betrayed by their sons, but you're setting up your own son!"
