Synopsis

[Political intrigue + fiercely protective + devoted only to Daiyu + face-slapping + no fantasy elements or System + one heroine]

After waking up, Shen Hezhou, a finance-industry wage slave, finds himself in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber as the adopted son and prized pupil of Lin Ruhai, the Imperial Salt Commissioner.

From the start, Lin Ruhai is gravely ill. The Jia household sends Jia Lian south overnight to take Lin Daiyu away and seize the Lin family's million-tael fortune while he's at it.

In the original story, the Lin family dies out, Daiyu is left dependent on others, and she eventually weeps herself to death.

But in this life, Shen Hezhou refuses to let them have their way!

As Lin Ruhai lies dying, he entrusts Daiyu to Shen Hezhou and betroths her to him in a marriage contract. In his will, he places all the Lin family's property under Shen Hezhou's management.

Jia Lian comes demanding Daiyu and the account books?

Shen Hezhou displays the marriage contract and will registered with the authorities in front of everyone, slapping Rongguo House in the face!

From Yangzhou to the capital, from the Lin residence to Rongguo House, he plans every step carefully: protecting Daiyu, guarding her family's fortune, investigating the salt trade, and taking on the Jia household, all while exposing the dirty schemes beneath the Four Great Families' glittering wealth and splendor.

Grandmother Jia tries to use filial piety to pressure him?

Shen Hezhou responds by invoking the laws of the Great Qian.

Lady Wang tries to take the Lin family's money?

Shen Hezhou audits the accounts and seals the treasury.

Jia Baoyu smashes his jade and throws a fit?

Shen Hezhou kicks him over and sneers, “It's just a piece of stubborn stone. At least if it breaks, it'll make a sound. That's putting it to good use.”

Everyone thinks the Lin family's orphaned daughter and an adopted son with a different surname will be easy to bully.

Only later do they understand:

Shen Hezhou did not come to live under someone else's roof.

He came to stand up for Lin Daiyu, collect Lin Ruhai's debts, and change the fate of the entire Red Chamber world!

Chapter 401: The Red Chamber arc ends, and the modern arc begins. After spending a lifetime together, they are reborn in the modern world. Though Shen Hezhou and Daiyu look entirely different, they recognize each other through an unpublished poem and fall in love all over again. Everyone around them is an ordinary modern person, yet their lives echo the many characters of Dream of the Red Chamber in countless ways.

It features a single female lead and a very engaging plot (๑> <๑) that doesn't drag. The author updates frequently, often daily ε٩(๑> ₃ <)۶ з. Recommended (｢･ω･)｢hey

Overall, it's well-written. The only flaw is that Yuanyang, who was originally with the protagonist, suddenly went back to Grandmother Jia's place. I thought it was a spy left by the protagonist, but then she came back. Maybe the author forgot about her.

The author's writing is superb. While there are many novels based on this theme, those like *Dream of the Red Chamber* are rare. The author presents the story from a different perspective, allowing readers to see another side of it. In truth, everyone has their own story; different perspectives lead to different emotions and vastly different viewpoints.

Five stars! Highly recommend this Dream of the Red Chamber fanfiction! The unnecessary treatment of characters makes it so satisfying to read. It's all about intrigue, mutual affection, and power struggles. There's no system involved; everything relies on intelligence to turn the tide. This Dream of the Red Chamber fanfiction is a real gem!

A good book that respects the original work. Who says the orphaned daughter of the Lin family is easy to bully? Shen Hezhou plots step by step, fighting his way from Yangzhou to the capital. He stands up for Daiyu, seeks revenge for Lin Ruhai, and changes fate in the Dream of the Red Chamber. Worth reading.

It's amazing! A single female lead, Lin Daiyu! Absolutely incredible! I highly recommend this book! Thumbs up! 👍🏻

The author and the author Bai Lu Niao remind me of that saying: Cultural workers must be cultured. 😢😢😢 It has its own content and does not rely on the original work. The protagonist has his own personality and abilities. It is completely from the perspective of another person in Dream of the Red Chamber. The description of the work of officials is reasonable and well-founded, unlike other novels that gloss over it or always follow the perspective of Dream of the Red Chamber.

A time-traveling story set in the Dream of the Red Chamber, filled with satisfying face-slapping moments. The writing is delicate, the plot is tight and suspenseful, and it gets better with each reading! I support it!

It wasn't confined to the domestic power struggles of the original novel, which is great! What's even more impressive is that it's logically clear, concise, and without unnecessary filler! There are some minor flaws: firstly, locust trees cannot be planted in the house; secondly, the female relatives upon arriving at the Rongguo Mansion did not avoid seeing men from outside the household; and thirdly, the plot points involving taking in Yuanyang and Tanchun are clearly poorly written.
