[Fans of the original Dream of the Red Chamber + multiple heroines + alternate history]
I woke up as Sun Shaozu, the notorious wolf of a man from Dream of the Red Chamber.
It was Chapter 81. The dynasty was tottering, an age of chaos was drawing near, and the beauties of the Red Chamber were as adrift as duckweed:
Qingwen had died an unjust death, Xiangling was on the brink of death, and Daiyu was wasting away;
while my legal wife, Jia Yingchun, had returned from the Rongguo Mansion the day before, only to suffer the former Sun Shaozu’s abuse and be locked in a woodshed to freeze through the night...
I would mend my ways and proceed one step at a time.
I would make up for the regret of “when the three springs have passed, all the flowers are gone,” and avert the sorrow of “each must seek a door of their own.”
Protect Yingchun, save Xiangling, and rescue the beauties from danger;
set the Sun family in order and rally its former followers to establish a foothold in troubled times;
refuse to become anyone’s pawn, put down roots, break free of the Red Chamber’s fate, and reshape the destiny of China!
