A Martial Arts Champion in Dream of the Red Chamber

Qi Yuan, courtesy name Ping’an, is a former street thug who has never even opened the original Dream of the Red Chamber. One night, he wakes up as a sixteen-year-old boy on his way to the capital to take the military imperial examination. He unlocks the All-Purpose System from the start, gaining an invincible body and strength unmatched in the world. Just then, the Black Tiger Stockade attacks the Xue family’s caravan, and its chief even dares to lay hands on Xue Baochai? Qi Ping’an cuts down the bandit chief, takes the money and provisions, sends the underlings packing, and gives Xue Pan such a beating that he goes weak in the knees whenever he hears Qi’s voice. Aunt Xue and Baochai grow fonder of him by the day, while Xue Pan even offers Xiangling to him as a maid. After reaching the capital, Qi wins the title of top military scholar in one stroke and moves into the Imperial Martial Hall in the Jia family estate. Lin Daiyu, the Three Spring sisters, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Miaoyu… one by one, the twelve beauties fall for this sharp-tongued, calculating menace. Jia Zhen wants to defile Qin Keqing? Qi sneaks into the Ningguo Mansion in the dead of night and takes her and her maid away! When corruption plagues the salt administration in Jiangnan, he leads twenty thousand vanguard death troops in a bloody purge. When the Turks invade from the north, twenty thousand Snow Dragon Cavalry sweep across the grasslands, and he wins glory at Mount Langjuxu! As the Retired Emperor and the reigning emperor vie for power, he maneuvers between them, carefully advancing at every step. When the Four Kings and Eight Dukes stir with ambition, he crushes them with an iron fist. Tibet provokes him? He wipes out two hundred thousand troops! The Jurchens and Goryeo join forces? He conquers them! The nations of the Western Regions rebel? He fights all the way to Europe and becomes known among Europeans as the “Son of God”! From commoner to top military scholar, from Marquis Champion to carefree prince, in the end, he takes the throne for himself. Daiyu and Baochai become his empresses, and all twelve beauties give him their hearts. See how a street thug who never read the original story carves out an empire for himself in this world of the Dream of the Red Chamber!
