[Female-Dominated World + Gender-Swapped Dream of the Red Chamber]
Everyone in Jinling knew that Rongguo House's second young master, Jia Baoyu, was a shameless flirt.
He loved gazing at beauties and doting on men, yet was fickle and free-spirited, leaving the young masters of the capital lovesick.
The frail, aloof young master of the Lin family.
The dignified, proper legitimate son of the Xue family.
The dashing young scion of a military household.
The solitary, cold Taoist from beyond the world.
One by one, they entered the Grand View Garden.
And one by one, they were ruined by Jia Baoyu.
Later, the Rongguo House fell, its grand halls on the verge of collapse.
Some died of illness in secluded courtyards, some were married off to distant borderlands, some withdrew to a life of prayer, and some were trapped in the inner quarters for the rest of their lives.
Only then did Jia Baoyu finally understand:
The thing that devours people most in this world has never been love.
It is Confucian propriety.
