If Daiyu no longer just buries flowers and sheds tears, but instead carries on her father's legacy and goes south to manage the family and establish a girls' school - where will the Dream of Red Mansions go?
It all started with the dusty volume of notes in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Lin Ruhai's annotation before his death was clearly visible: "If my son were a man, he would become a great man." Only then did Daiyu understand that what her father taught her was not only poetry, but also the knowledge of world affairs.
When the Jia family was in turmoil and Concubine Yuan fell out of favor, she stepped out of her boudoir, laid off redundant staff, cleaned up accounts, and reformed the old system. She ignored criticism and went to Suzhou to investigate the ancestral property, open an academy, and recruit female disciples. On the way south, she saw the suffering of the people and met independent women, and finally understood that a woman can inherit her father's ambition and support her family.
In the original work, she died in tears; this time, she chose to plant trees instead of burying flowers.
"Father, you see - you can not only bury flowers, but also plant trees."
See how Daiyu transforms from an orphan girl who is sad for spring and autumn to a leader who can stabilize the world in the storm. The rise and fall of the Jia family, the love affair between Bao and Dai, and the awakening of women - this is a road of "alliance between wood and stone" that you have never seen before.
