Jia Daishan is reborn.
In his previous life, he was the Duke of Rong, a celebrated war hero. After his death, his spirit lingered, forced to watch the mighty Jia family descend into ruin, thanks to Madam Shi's "loving care," Madam Wang's "foolishness," and the younger generation's debauchery. The family eventually reached the desolate end of "a vast, barren land, swept clean." The in-laws who had wept bitterly at his funeral turned out to be parasites, hollowing out the family from within. The family glory he had believed in was nothing more than a blazing fire that consumed them all.
He traded thirty years of military merit for a chance to be reborn. This time, he would no longer be the nobleman deceived by his in-laws.
The first thing he does after returning to life is break off his engagement! The eldest daughter of the Shi family? In his previous life, she had enjoyed all the benefits of the Jia family, only to raise a household full of parasites. This life, she can get as far away from him as possible. Instead, he marries Xu Zhiyun, daughter of the distinguished Xu family. This gentle woman, with a sharp edge beneath her warmth, is the true wife who can stand beside him and shoulder the family burden.
Within the family, he uses an iron fist to restore its values. His eldest son, Jia She, is no longer a lecherous wastrel, but a cheerful and valiant military talent. His second son, Jia Zheng, lets go of his obsession with the imperial exams, devotes himself to scholarship, and becomes a great Confucian scholar. His daughter, Jia Min, is healthy and spirited, and her marriage to Lin Ruhai is a key move in his plans at court.
Beyond the family, he sees what is coming and cuts off the Jia family's fatal entanglements with the other three great clans in advance. By the time Madam Shi marries into the Niu family and repeats the Jia Matriarch's indulgent ways, while the Wang family courts the Seventh Prince and heads for ruin, the Jia family has already completed a dazzling transformation from old nobility to a rising power, all thanks to Jia Daishan's careful plans.
This is not the rebirth of one person, but the rebirth of an entire family. See how Duke of Rong Jia Daishan rewrites the tragic fate of "a thousand beauties in one cave, all fair maidens sharing the same sorrow" through his own efforts!
Yes, it's a very novel angle. I've read a lot of Red Mansions fan fiction, and it's always been the rebirth of Daiyu and Wang Xifeng. I haven't seen the rebirth of Jia's elders, and I think it's quite interesting.
It has completely changed the... Dream in Dream of Red Mansions. I think it will work. If it is changed, the dream will come true. 🤔🤔🤔
It is in prose form, well written, and has high literary and artistic quality.
The author is so transparent
It feels pretty good. If I look at it as a new story, why is there no Ningguo Duke's Mansion? Since most of the settings have been used, why did this one disappear?
It is a masterpiece that breaks away from the traditional similar perspective.
The writing is very good. Starting from the protagonist in the previous life, the Shi family has been prevented from entering!
The author's writing style is very good and the description is delicate. Jia Min's poems are very childlike.
The head and mistress of a large family must be far-sighted, good at maneuvering, and know how to measure. The two complement each other and are indispensable. When marrying aristocratic families, you should also consider whether there are any pitfalls and whether the ship is stable.
After reading a quarter of it, I can't help but comment 😁 (a different story about the rebirth of the Red Mansion)
