After transmigrating into Dream of the Red Chamber, he finds himself as Jia Lian, the notorious libertine of the Rongguo House!
And his story opens on his wedding night with the fearsome Wang Xifeng, the “Firecracker Phoenix”!
His bride is domineering and intends to seize power by laying down “three rules.” Jia Lian, awakened to the memories of his previous life, lets out a cold laugh: I've spoiled you enough!
No concubines? Hand over control of the household finances? Dream on!
From the start, he stands up to the Firecracker Phoenix and protects an innocent young maid. With a modern barbecue feast, wine from the Western Regions, and a dazzling display of pulse diagnosis by silk thread, he leaves the formidable household mistress utterly bewildered and wins her over completely on the spot!
Knowing the tragic fate awaiting the Jia family, Jia Lian understands that this crumbling ship, gilded in excess, is bound to sink. Rather than wait to die alongside these parasites, he will establish his own household and defy fate!
Faced with the exploitation of his bloodsucking father, Jia She, and the scheming of two-faced relatives, Jia Lian firmly rejects the humiliating path of buying an official post. Using the modern knowledge from his previous life, he decides to start by making float glass by hand, bringing a whole new level of technology to this era and building an industrial and commercial empire richer than the nation itself!
What of the proud phoenix weeping as she heads for Jinling? What of the Twelve Beauties meeting tragic ends? What of Ping'er and Qingwen, whose lives are as fragile as paper?
In this life, with me, Jia Lian, here, no one will lay a finger on them!
“Feng'er, stay in the inner quarters and enjoy the show. Watch as your husband gathers all the world's wealth into his hands!”
See how the formidable Second Master Lian tramples greedy villains, crushes political schemers, amasses the world's wealth, and embraces beauties beyond compare, turning the tide in Dream of the Red Chamber and building an unrivaled empire!
