Jia Huan, the Concubine-Born Son of Dream of the Red Chamber: From Imperial Exams to Absolute Power

After transmigrating into Dream of the Red Chamber, he becomes Jia Huan, the lecherous, timid illegitimate son of the Rongguo Mansion, with a face slick with grease.

From the start, he gets hot candle wax thrown in his face. Madam Wang is vicious behind her benevolent facade, while Concubine Zhao is exasperated by his failure to live up to expectations. The Grand View Garden is a gentle haven for Baoyu, but a living hell for Jia Huan!

If his life is worth no more than grass, then in this house of wealth and splendor, he'll carve out a bloody path for himself.

No System to rely on, just a head full of Confucian classics and a lifetime of experience.

From an illegitimate son pushed aside and left to fend for himself, to a scholar who earns the emperor's favor by placing first in the imperial examinations; from a lowly Third Master struggling to survive, to a first-rank chancellor with power over the entire court.

When the fates of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling turn tragic and the mansions of Ningguo and Rongguo teeter on the brink of collapse, Jia Huan stands atop the imperial court in his embroidered robe, hands behind his back:

“The Jia family's fate is mine to overturn; the destiny of Great Zhou is mine to decide!”
