Dream of the Red Chamber: My Reborn Little Brother Protects Daiyu

[A heroine who grows: Daiyu + a guiding younger brother, Jingheng + no move into the Jia residence]

Lin Jingheng died young at the age of three, but his soul lingered for a hundred years. He watched with his own eyes as his elder sister, Lin Daiyu, lived under someone else's roof, gave her love to the wrong man, burned her poems after she had wept her last tears, and died alone and miserable.

Then he was reborn, returning to the moment Jia Min died.

Grandmother Jia of the Rongguo House understood the power struggles surrounding the throne. Using their shared bloodline as leverage, she clung to Daiyu by every means possible, wearing her down with endless persuasion and emotional blackmail. She insisted on keeping Daiyu in her grasp and tying her to the old noble families under the Retired Emperor's command, the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, to find a way out for the Jia family.

Lin Jingheng guided Daiyu at every turn, exposing Jia Baoyu's fickle cowardice, the Jia family's hypocrisy and cold-heartedness, and the nobles' false masks of fawning on the powerful.

After witnessing with her own eyes how the women of the inner household were all treated as pawns in marriage alliances, and suffering the constraints of Confucian propriety, Daiyu finally severed her romantic attachments and grew sick of the rivalries among young ladies.

With her unparalleled talent, Daiyu earned the emperor's personal appointment through the imperial examinations. She took charge of the women's official bureau and entered public life to govern the court as a woman.

In this life, the Crimson Pearl no longer weeps to repay love.

Her young brother risks his life to protect his sister, overturning the old dream of the Red Chamber.

A woman official serves at court, and at last, countless women have a place in the world.
