Dream of the Red Chamber: Daiyu Braving the Snow to Visit the Mountain God Temple? I Taught Her!

[Dream of the Red Chamber] + [Wulin] + [High Martial Arts and Xianxia] + [Ensemble Cast]

[A Hot-Blooded Series for Middle-Aged and Older Readers]

(The male lead is from a later era in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, which is history to him.)

[Main Male Lead Jia Lang + Main Female Lead Lin Daiyu]

(Daiyu isn’t the kind of heroine who needs to depend on the male lead. You can think of her as the second male lead.)

Through the falling snow, a young swordsman named Jia Lang approaches.

At an inn, he helps the Salt Commissioner repel assassins, then meets him and discovers they are kin.

In Yangzhou Prefecture, he helps the Lin family’s little sister study literature and martial arts, keeping her company as she grows up and plays.

In Jinling City, he discusses strategy by candlelight with the Xue family’s daughter and rescues kidnapped women.

On the Jiangxi Circuit, he joins the greatest young talents of the wulin to plot against traitors, upholding justice along the way.

In Shenjing City, he takes away the psychic jade that steals its owner’s mind and helps his younger brother regain clarity.

Beyond the frontier, he points his sword at the evil monks and crooked cultists who control foreign tribes, leading the army to crush their chieftains.

…

Years later, when he and the chosen ones of this world stand atop the Great Wilderness to wage war against Heaven and battle the immortals, the truth of this world will finally begin to unfold before them…

Note:

In the first half, the conflicts in the imperial court and the wulin will use a straightforward high-martial-arts setting. Later, when immortal figures like Jing Huan appear, the power levels will rise somewhat, but not too high.

These so-called immortals are nowhere near the levels found in mainstream prehistoric-world cultivation novels.

So, according to my setting, once martial arts reaches the peak of the lower realm, the next step is to open the heavens and become an immortal. The gap between a martial arts peak and an ordinary immortal won’t be too great, which should make the fights more exciting.

During the martial-arts story in the lower realm, even the lame Daoist and the bald monk are merely incarnations of distant, elusive immortals who have descended to the lower realm. This should keep the power scaling from falling apart as much as possible!
