[Daiyu as the heroine, with both falling for each other and getting completely lovestruck]
After sending her father’s coffin back to his ancestral home in Zhenjiang, Chu Zheng dreamed for several days on the road back to the capital. His memories of a past life awakened, and he finally realized that in this, his third life, he had been reborn into Dream of the Red Chamber.
Fate brought him onto the same journey to the capital as Daiyu. He sent men to protect her from river bandits, gave her money, and showed his concern. The two often exchanged letters along the way, came to regard each other as confidants, and called each other brother and sister.
When they were young, Chu Zheng told Daiyu, “I truly think of you as my own sister. If you ask, I’d even get you the stars in the sky.”
Daiyu replied, “What would I do with the stars? I only want your sincere affection.”
Later, when they began to fall in love, Chu Zheng said to Daiyu, “A distant cousin is still a cousin. Stop liking Baoyu and love me instead.”
Daiyu smiled and tossed the handkerchief she had embroidered for him into his arms. “What are you jealous about, Brother? How do you know I don’t love you?”
Thus goes the tale:
Three lives entwined by a dream, a homeward boat awakens old ties. Once a celestial soul with ambitions to soar, now fallen into the world of love and longing in the Red Chamber. Swallows in the rain cherish Daiyu; a loyal heart rises to command the court. His achievements will win a place in history, but his heart will cherish only the Crimson Pearl for a lifetime.
The heroine didn't appear much in the early stage, but she was really sweet. I really like the Red Mansion fanfic. I really like the story, although it involves the Four Kings and Eight Gongs, but it doesn't talk too much about the Mo Jia Mansion. I really don't like the messy things in the Jia Mansion.
A very favorite Red Mansions article.
