Dream of the Red Chamber: From the Start, Guarding the Frontier, I Shake the Court with Military Merit

I transmigrated into the world of Dream of the Red Chamber and became its most miserable illegitimate son, Jia Cong.

My birth mother died young, my father despised me, and at twelve I was sent to the frontier to die.

After three years of bloodshed, I crawled out of mountains of corpses and bones, slew the enemy commander in battle, was made a first-rank viscount, and took command of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

At the Rongguo Mansion, Jia She treated me like dirt, while Jia Baoyu remained the darling of the powder-and-rouge crowd.

I returned home in bloodstained armor, and the entire household of wealth and privilege was stunned.

Lady Jia said I was just like my grandfather, the Jia family’s finest son.

At court, I served in the Emperor’s personal guard, with the power of the Northern Commandery Branch in my hands.

The Retired Emperor praised my loyalty and courage, and the Emperor promised me a bright future.

The Yuanping nobility saw me as a thorn in their side, but I had already laid a vast net around them.

The Ningguo Mansion was a den of filth. Jia Zhen abused his daughter-in-law, while Jia Rong was weak and useless.

I watched coldly, waiting for the right moment to set the family’s house in order and restore the backbone of the Jia clan!

This is a path to turning the tables, establishing myself through martial prowess and protecting my family with power.

I will make this tottering ducal estate stand firm, all because of me!
