Lin Xun, a researcher on red science, discovered a non-existent fragment of "The Story of the Stone" underground at the Rongguofu site during an archaeological excavation. The moment he opened the book, he was sucked into the world of the book and became a "distant relative" in the Grand View Garden.
Everything here is similar to the original work of "A Dream of Red Mansions", but there is something strange about it: Daiyu carves words on bamboo every night, carving her own epitaph; Baoyu goes crazy and claims that "everyone here is dead"; Sister Feng's account book records not gold and silver, but everyone's remaining lifespan; there are countless paper figures buried under the flower tomb, with the name of a real person and the date of death written on the back of each one.
