Freshman Jia Jing opens his eyes and finds himself as Jia Jing from Dream of the Red Chamber, the man who was poisoned while making elixirs! Sixty seconds left to live? Don’t panic! Choosing 【Play Dead and Avoid Trouble】 is definitely the right move. The cold System pronounces: 【GAME OVER: You transmigrated for nothing】?! 【Fate Insight System activated】! “Wait! I can load an earlier save and try again?!” This time, he decisively chooses the peak point in his life: age thirty-one, having passed the palace examination. He’s in his prime, head of the Ningguo House, and gets a stunning young lady from the Nian family (Nian Gengyao’s cousin) as his beloved wife, all for free! But the System spoils the future: the Jia family is fated to be confiscated and destroyed, and the entire Nian family will perish. Is this a double dead end?! 【Ding! Fate anchor set. Acquired god-tier acting skills, with a dramatic boost to your looks and bearing!】 【Ding! Integrated the foundation of a palace graduate.

Modern technology astounds Kangxi and his ministers!】 【Ding! Discovered a shocking secret hidden in his mother’s keepsake, one that is actually connected to the legendary Wei Xiaobao!】 In public, he “feigns piety to discredit himself,” becoming a kindred spirit in natural science to the emperor. In secret, he forges alliances and builds a powerful coalition of interests spanning the government and business world! A telescope in his left hand amazes the court, while a commercial empire quietly rises in his right! The Red Chamber has yet to open, and the beauties have yet to arrive. In this life, I will rewrite the fate of the Jia family!
