Dream of the Red Chamber: Transmigrated as Daiyu? I Lay into Jia Baoyu from the Start

"What? I’ve become Lin Daiyu? And I’m supposed to weep and cough up blood until I die?"

Jia Baoyu offers her a handkerchief and pretends to care. Lin Daiyu sneers. "Is that handkerchief for wiping a dog’s tears? Don’t disgust me! This illness of mine is from being driven to it by a bunch of oversensitive fools like you!"

Granny Jia slams the table in fury. "Has this Lin girl been possessed? Why does every word she says hit so hard, with a barb in every sentence?"

Wang Xifeng, usually so smooth-tongued, is left speechless after being put in her place. "She didn’t even do anything, but somehow she’s made my liver ache!" Xue Baochai’s "serene scheming" is exposed in front of everyone, and she bursts into tears. "Sister Daiyu, why are you so cutting?" Jia Baoyu runs off crying. "Heavens! My Lin-meimei is no longer a delicate willow in the breeze, but a walking voice of reason? Does she not love me anymore?!"

The noble young ladies of the capital are going wild. "I hear the eldest young lady of the Lin family is sharp-tongued but kindhearted, clear-eyed and stunning. She’s a breath of fresh air in the capital, a role model for us all!" Prince Beijing is utterly captivated, his gaze burning. "She clearly wants to escape the mundane world, so why can she still set the capital in turmoil? Her clear-eyed nature is simply irresistible!"

Watching Lin Daiyu grow stronger by the day, the Jia family falls into deep thought: Did she save us, or hasten our downfall?!
