Synopsis

This is a vernacular version of "A Dream of Red Mansions". It uses straightforward and easy-to-understand language to completely reproduce the moving story of the eternal masterpiece. An eunuch from Gusu Township, Zhen Shiyin, had a psychic dream, which led to the past life relationship between Shenying's waiter and Jiangzhu Fairy, and a destiny of repaying kindness with tears began. In the prosperous capital city, the four major families of Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue are extremely powerful, and the Rongguo Mansion and the Ningguo Mansion are even more connected with bells and cauldrons and mansions. Jia Baoyu, who was born with a jade in his mouth, grew up in a pile of makeup and powder since childhood, and fell in love with Lin Daiyu, who was living under the fence of others. The gentle and dignified Xue Baochai, the smart and pungent Wang Xifeng, and sisters with different talents also appeared one after another. The Grand View Garden recited poems, entertained, laughed and played, showing the warmth of the family. But under the grand scene, undercurrents surged, including family disputes, interpersonal relationships, and official entanglements. In the end, the glory and splendor came to an end, and the wealthy family turned from prosperity to decline. It was a foolish dream, leaving only a piece of paper full of bitterness, describing the joys and sorrows of the world and the impermanence of the world.

Don't recommend anything below 9.7 To me. If you recommend it, I won't watch it. I can only say that you are wasting your time. If I want to watch something below 9.7, I will look for it myself. I want a high-scoring work now. The plot is not procrastinating and attractive. The protagonist has a positive outlook on life. Shuan Q
