When Jia's mansion was raided and she died from tears, Lin Daiyu did not return to Li Hentian. An old handkerchief with a poem on it wrapped her soul, and she fell into the bizarre "Three Thousand Worlds" - a multiverse formed by the collective subconscious of mankind.
Here, she is no longer the Xiaoxiang concubine who can only bury flowers and shed tears. Holding a handkerchief with ink stains on it, she was forced to wander in 100 completely different times and spaces: persuading tigers on Jingyanggang, watching Gatsby go crazy for Green Light in New York, writing a suicide note for La Traviata in Paris, and discussing the vicissitudes of life with Su Dongpo in Red Cliff... Her illness was still the same, and she coughed up blood and suffered from chronic illnesses, but she had an additional "Crimson Pearl Perception" - she could always see through the loneliest soul in every world.
Her mission is to find the "twelve hairpin fragments" scattered in the sky: Tanchun's ambition, Xiangyun's naivety, Miaoyu's cleanliness, Xifeng's spicyness, Baochai's roundness... Every time she intervenes in a story and resolves a classic conflict with poetic insights, she can light up a fragment mark on the handkerchief. From a passive wanderer of "tears" to a "picket" who takes the initiative to correct the tragedy, Daiyu has grown up hard in all the worlds.
However, when the collection was nearly completed, she discovered that the biggest suspense was not where the fragments were, but the man behind the scenes that pushed her into this endless reincarnation, and the shocking truth about the end: the last fragment was none other than herself.
"It turns out that what I buried was not flowers, but myself from thousands of worlds."
