Dream of the Red Chamber: Ruin Jia Baoyu and Steal Lin Daiyu

I woke up to find I had become Jia Chen, the legitimate son of the Ningguo Mansion, a character who never even existed in the original story. Something was off about this Dream of the Red Chamber: it had spiritual energy, and people could cultivate immortality! Luckily, my comprehension was heaven-defying. I created my own “Human Immortal Martial Path,” wielding a punch worth a hundred jun and doubling my lifespan! What? The Rongguo Mansion dares make my Lin Daiyu use the side gate? I whipped the insolent servant to death, kicked open the main gate, scooped up Daiyu, and took her back to the eastern mansion! Jia Baoyu tried to show off by presenting her with a poem? One shout from me scared him into dropping the Jade of Spiritual Understanding. That jade is brimming with spiritual energy? Perfect, it belongs to me now! The court sees my Jia family as easy pickings, and the emperor wants to use me as a pawn? I rebuilt the Longxiang Guard. Riding three horses, I charged three thousand li in a single day, conquered the eastern desert overnight, captured the Later Jin consorts alive, and slew the enemy khan with my sword! On the day the entire court was left stunned, the Retired Emperor personally bestowed on me the title of Supreme General of Heavenly Strategy, placing me at the pinnacle of power. In this life, I will give the Red Chamber a different fate. My Lin Daiyu will no longer bury flowers. She will practice martial arts and cultivate immortality instead; the Jia family will no longer decline, but rule the world. And the throne? Hah. Emperors take turns, and now it’s the Jia family’s turn to sit upon it!
