Dream of the Red Chamber: A Man's Body, a Woman's Soul, and Chaos in the Capital

Modern-day postgraduate exam candidate and wage slave Li Chen transmigrates into the body of the spoiled second son of the Zhenyuan Marquis's household, and finds himself periodically switching bodies with Lin Daiyu, who is staying at the Rongguo Mansion. In Daiyu's body, he stands up to cruel servants, keeps Jia Baoyu at arm's length, and protects the Lin family's assets. Meanwhile, Daiyu studies hard for the imperial examinations in his place and resolves a military supply corruption crisis at the marquis's estate. The two pass messages to each other through pen and paper, bailing each other out and cleaning up one another's messes. As they unravel the mystery behind their strange body swaps and steer clear of the Jia family's downfall, each breaks free of their predetermined fate and sets out on a very different path in life.
