Please Recommend Engrossing Tomato Novels Without Stupid Plotting
Villain, urban, or fantasy novels are all fine 😊 I'm a seasoned reader of ten years, so please don't recommend beginner-level novels; I can't get into them. I'm older now and hope to read something with a well-reasoned, tightly plotted story. I don't mind power fantasies, but I don't want everyone else to act stupid just to make the protagonist look smart.

It's a very good read. When I first read *Dream of the Red Chamber*, I felt a bit awkward. Baoyu, under the guise of caring for women, actually took advantage of them in various ways. Daiyu was indeed wronged by the Jia family. This novel is excellent; Daiyu deserved a better life.
It's wonderful! Lin Daiyu deserves a happy ending. Every time I read *Dream of the Red Chamber*, I feel so frustrated by Lin Daiyu's fate.
This is the most satisfying story I've ever read that vents anger for Lin Daiyu. I feel a little sorry for the eldest branch of the Jia family.
The author writes wonderfully; I highly recommend everyone to read it. I disliked Jia Baoyu's effeminate appearance and greasy hair in both the film and television versions and the original novel. I couldn't read it at all; this book really touched my heart.
I really love this theme. It's so wonderful that Lin Daiyu was able to change her fate. Now, seeing how the author wrote it, I realize that I hadn't noticed the strict separation of men and women between Jia Baoyu and his sisters and maids when reading the book or watching the drama... It really harmed Lin Daiyu and the other sisters.
Ahhh, my Daiyu finally has a good ending! Lin Ruhai was also very helpful. It turns out that Shenying Attendant was Zhen Baoyu, and the stone that Nuwa missed while patching the sky was the deserter! Overall, it's pretty good, but the ages in the earlier parts of the story were a bit confusing. I hope the author can be more meticulous next time.
It doesn't have much to do with the original story; it deviates quite a bit. But from another perspective, it's still acceptable. It fulfills the story of Daiyu uprooting the willow tree, and her happy and joyful life, with a loving father and mother, brothers and sisters, and a lover who accompanied her throughout her life.
Beautiful, beautiful, she is the Daiyu of my dreams.
The plot is fast-paced, uplifting, and the writing is delicate—a very high-quality novel. (Haven't finished it yet... I hope it doesn't have a bad ending.)
I always love reading rewrites about Daiyu. Perhaps it's because Daiyu in *Dream of the Red Chamber* suffered so much, so I always wish she could have a different life. I've read many versions of Daiyu's life, but I think this one is quite special. It gives Daiyu a stepmother, Qingyue, who is more like a mother than a biological mother.
