Synopsis

One heroine only! One heroine only! One heroine only! If you want a harem power fantasy, this isn't for you! Lin Rui, a civil engineer fresh out of graduate school, transmigrates into the world of the Dream of the Red Chamber. Jia Min takes him in as her son, and when he wakes up, he thinks he's her biological child. To keep his older sister Lin Daiyu from dying after crying herself dry, he starts when she's little, relentlessly drilling into her the dangers of marrying close relatives and the tragic consequences of being blinded by love. Facing an army of 200,000 under the Manchu invaders, Lin Rui leads 80,000 troops and shouts in a Fenghua accent, “Eighty thousand against two hundred thousand. The advantage is ours!” Facing bandits hiding in the mountains and playing cat and mouse with the troops, he chuckles. “How dare you show off your trifling tricks before a master!” To Daiyu, he says, “If you don't want to marry, Sis, then don't. I'll support you for the rest of your life.” To Baochai, he says, “People suffer from three thousand ills of birth, old age, sickness, and death, but lovesickness alone has no cure.” In the gardens, he is a gifted, refined young scholar. On the battlefield, he is a tiger of the grasslands, murderous and cloaked in bloodlust. Daiyu watches her bargain-bin little brother dote on Baochai and remarks sarcastically, “I wonder who it was that kept saying love-struck fools were idiots?” Lin Rui replies, “She's different.” He has always basked in Baochai's gentle, nurturing care. Later, when the crown prince ascends the throne, he suppresses his enemies and tries to kill Lin Rui to establish his authority. Lin Rui leads his army in a counterattack, and after his defeat, the crown prince abdicates in Lin Rui's favor. The ministers urge him to fill his harem, but he answers, “I only want Baochai.” He reforms the education system, makes compulsory education available to everyone, leads an industrial revolution, advances science and industry, and gradually perfects the legal system. Step by step, he promotes gender equality and establishes a constitutional monarchy.

Looking for a Kindhearted Protagonist Who Helps the Suffering

I want something with a strong sense of purpose, preferably with no romance. The characters should be kind, thoughtful, and driven by a desire for revenge. They should dare to speak, act, and dream, and not waste time on empty gestures. Any gender is fine. It could be about love of country, another nation, the world, or liberation. Give me something good.

Recommend Books with Principled Protagonists. A Little Too Compassionate Is Fine

Modern novels always go out of their way to avoid making the protagonist a saint, preferring to portray them as petty or villainous. I want to read about a protagonist who is chivalrous and courageous, clearly distinguishes good from evil, understands right from wrong, and helps others within their means.
