After ten years of hard study, Lin Yan finally passed the imperial examination, and thought a bright future was within reach.

How dare you do this!” Lin Yan cried out in shock and fury, vowing to resist to the death. His clan rushed about raising the alarm, the authorities were outraged, and the crisis threatening to topple the Xue family was already at their door. Deep within the Xue residence, Baochai came to apologize, blushing with embarrassment and guilt, and only asked that the newly minted scholar be sent home at once. But the moment her peerless beauty came into view, thunder exploded in Lin Yan’s mind: this was the world of Dream of the Red Chamber! Memories of his past life surged back: the Xue family’s predicament, the beauties of the Red Chamber, the rise and fall of the four great families... Faced with this overwhelming flood of information, Lin Yan’s thoughts raced. “Wait!” He rose, sweeping out his sleeve, and fixed his blazing gaze on the unparalleled beauty. “Miss Xue is gentle, virtuous, and extraordinarily talented. Though this marriage began in absurdity...” “I, Lin Yan, am determined to become your live-in son-in-law!” From a poor scholar to the Xue family’s live-in son-in-law, Lin Yan will wield a brush in one hand and an abacus in the other. He must protect his beloved wife, Baochai, and carve out a path to greatness for both the Xue family and himself amid this decadent age! A match made in gold and jade? Watch him shatter the fate of the idle rich with the jade seal of a poor family! Watch a modern soul stir up the world of the Red Chamber and defy fate!
