Synopsis

This novel continues the story of Cao Xueqin's Dream of the Red Chamber through its first eighty chapters, setting aside the final forty chapters written by Gao E and giving the novel's women a different future.

The Lin family of Suzhou, once a prominent clan, has dwindled. After Lin Ruhai, head of the main branch, dies, his orphaned daughter Lin Daiyu is sent to live with and be raised by her maternal relatives, the Jia family.

After “Yingchun's mistaken marriage to the wolf Zhongshan” and “Xue Pan's regretful marriage to the shrew from Hedong,” the Jia family falls into decline even faster.

As the Jia family falters, Lin Daiyu's future grows uncertain. At this time, Lin Hanjing, Lin Ruhai's nephew, comes to the capital to sit the imperial examinations and wins third place.

Eager to bring glory to his family, Lin Hanjing gives up the woman he loves and marries into a powerful family.

As Lin Daiyu grows more and more disappointed in Jia Baoyu, what will become of her heart?

Li Xiaoru, younger brother of the newly crowned top scholar, once dreamed as a child that he had wandered through the Land of Illusions. There, he saw the fates of the “Twelve Beauties of Jingchu” and the destiny of their family. Luckier than Jia Baoyu, he sees through the world with clear eyes, until the day he meets Lin Daiyu.

Looking for an Elegant Historical Chinese Romance Without Outlandish, Over-the-Top, or Brain-Dead Tropes

I want something with elegant, delicate writing. Not the kind that opens with someone getting disfigured or having their heart cut out. That's too melodramatic and clumsy. And no side characters like concubine-born daughters or female antagonists publicly attacking the heroine at banquets. People like that wouldn't survive three hours in ancient times unless they were faking their deaths. It's so unrealistic.

I don't know why this thread is getting so many replies again lately, but could you please read the request? I said no harem novels. I think there are a lot of unresolved regrets in the story; I'm not here for your wish-fulfillment about building a harem.
