Synopsis

Lin Yan, a modern young man, unexpectedly transmigrates into the world of Dream of the Red Chamber as Lin Daiyu's twin brother, who was supposed to die young. Fortunately, the Reputation System comes to his aid: reputation can be exchanged for martial prowess, money, miracle medicines, famous generals from history, and elite troops! To protect his sister and change the fate of the Lin family, he keeps his talents hidden and first pursues the civil path. He passes the county, prefectural, and academy examinations, earning the rare distinction of placing first in all three. His literary fame shakes the capital! He then seizes the opportunity to marry the peerlessly beautiful Qin Keqing, and they remain devoted to each other for life, making the world green with envy.

But when northern invaders trample the border, the scholar angrily dons armor! With the System newly activated, he exchanges for a thousand Snowstorm Dragon Riders and a thousand Trapped Camp soldiers. From then on, a decisive god of war rises in the northern frontier.

He sweeps across the northern deserts, seals the wolf at Mount Juyan, and waters his horses in the vast sea. For his unparalleled military achievements, he is made a hereditary prince with a different surname!

The family he establishes remains loyal and valiant through generation after generation, hidden from the world. Yet whenever China faces peril or foreign invaders strike, one of its descendants always emerges with sword in hand to defend the land and its people.

This is Lin Yan's story, and another brilliant legend in which the characters of Dream of the Red Chamber shine amid the tides of history.

Male Lead Transmigrates into Dream of the Red Chamber: Read the Requirements Before Recommending

The male lead transmigrates, and the female lead is Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu isn't reborn, and the original characters, including Baoyu, aren't vilified. Everyone in Dream of the Red Chamber has both strengths and flaws, and Lin Daiyu is no exception. I don't want to read a story where the author vilifies original characters out of bias. I think that's disrespectful to a classic.
