That is no Grand View Garden. It is a haunted estate where a hundred ghosts roam. That is no Baoyu. It is a vessel for a jade puppet. That is no flower-burying. It is corpse-burying.
After my mother dies of illness, I, Lin Daiyu, go to live with the Jia family, only to discover that this “family of poetry, propriety, and high office” conceals a blood-sacrifice curse that has lasted three hundred years. The Jia matriarch’s vertical pupils, Wang Xifeng’s paper shoes, Zijuan’s ink-black eye sockets, the corpse’s face inside the Magic Jade... Every threshold is an altar, every tree and flower a human sacrifice.
I am the twelfth offering, and also Princess Jing'an, the one who set all of this in motion three hundred years ago. When Grand View Garden reveals its true form as a coffin on the night of the full moon, and the twelve beauties turn one by one into zombies, paper figures, and corpse-transcendent immortals, I must choose: become a resurrected vengeful ghost, or perish with all my sisters?
“Pure in birth, pure in return”: this time, it is not flowers I will bury, but this garden that devours people.
This is not the Dream of the Red Chamber you’ve read before, but it is a “Lin Daiyu” you will never forget!
It's very mysterious, attractive, has a strong sense of immersion, and the creative angle is quite novel. You can check it out.
