Dream of the Red Chamber: From the Start, I Was Bound to Die with Daiyu

[Single heroine: Lin Daiyu] [Pure romance] [One-on-one] [An ultimate battlefield of love] [A power-hungry official's elaborate plot × a bodyguard's betrayal × a teacher's tangled feelings × a deadly three-way standoff] Xie Linyuan was targeted by the Jia family at the age of twelve, but unexpectedly gained a marriage pact with the Lin family. Chu Yuan served the Lin family for twenty years, only to discover that his benefactor was actually his enemy. Pei Yanqing is a reserved, aloof teacher, yet holds the secret memorials on factional infighting left behind by Lin Ruhai. When Daiyu is cast aside as a pawn and thrown into the Jia household, a deadly game where everyone is an enemy, the three powerful men all drop their disguises at once. Her politically powerful fiancé uproots the Jia and Xue families; the bodyguard holds the entire household at bay with a single sword; and the teacher kneels in the snow to lay a vast trap. In the maelstrom of betrayal, spies, and factional strife, they don't just want her: they want everyone who schemed against her to kneel at her feet and beg forgiveness. Core concept: Bind together three webs of conflict surrounding Lin Daiyu: a powerful official's deadly feud, a bodyguard's betrayal of master and servant, and a teacher's factional power struggle. Set them against one another in an intensely complex web of relationships to deliver the thrill of crushing opponents from a higher level.
