Synopsis

In his previous life, Lin Ruhai held a high position but died young, leaving his beloved daughter Daiyu alone and helpless. She wept herself to death.

In this life, the newlywed scholar Lin Ruhai is reborn on his wedding night, making a solemn vow: He will never let his wife down, and he will protect his daughter for the rest of her life!

Facing the Jia family’s covetous schemes and Madam Wang’s hidden, deadly machinations, Lin Ruhai proceeds with caution at every turn. He tops the imperial examinations, reforms the salt administration, and uses an iron fist to purge the wicked. A year into his marriage, twin boys are born, forming a sturdy shield for their little sister. Daiyu has yet to be born, but the family fortune is already settled. Her loving father lays the groundwork for her future well in advance.

The threads of fate quietly shift. Shui Rong, heir to the Northern Tranquility Prince, is no longer a distant noble. Instead, he grows up alongside Daiyu, as pure as Xueyan, and the two childhood friends understand each other’s hearts. “Snow and jade shine together, and I’ll protect your youth.” It is a promise made in their youth, and a bond that will last a lifetime.

But how could the Fairy Disenchantment of the Grand Void Realm allow destiny to be broken? When the shackles of “repaying tears” suddenly descend, Lin Ruhai flies into a rage. Offering ten years of his life as a sacrifice, he wields the talisman of ghost soldiers and points it toward the heavens. “I’ll trade my life for my daughter’s freedom!”

The crimson pearl’s tears need not run dry by fate’s decree. A father’s love can move mountains and break the heavens! See how Lin Ruhai takes his wife and children to battle the powerful, sever their ties to the immortals, and carve out a brilliant path for Daiyu in the storm-tossed Zhao dynasty, one utterly different from the tragic fate of the “twelve beauties, all weeping.” A healing sage, a princess consort of honored status, and a life side by side with her childhood sweetheart: together, they rewrite the ending of the Twelve Beauties of the Red Chamber, “all beauties grieving together.”

Pure Palace Intrigue, Please: No Favorite Consorts and No Golden Fingers

Please recommend pure palace-intrigue novels. The heroine should only care about scheming her way to the top, and the emperor shouldn’t favor her exclusively. Thanks. Three things I don’t want: 1. No golden finger. 2. No heroine who’s all-powerful and has never faced any setbacks or hardships. 3. No emperor who dotes on the heroine alone.
