[A strong female lead’s growth + rising from the bottom + ensemble cast focus + mutual devotion, one-on-one romance]
Lin Hongyu was singled out and bullied by the senior maids around Baoyu because of her striking looks. They claimed the character “yu” in her name was taboo, and called her “Xiaohong” instead.
One day, Hongyu delivered a message to Jia Yun and poured tea for Baoyu up close. Qiuwen and Bihen caught her in the act, then shoved and berated the original owner of her body.
The original owner fell down the stone steps and died. A modern-day junior accountant transmigrated seamlessly into her body, only to be met with a humiliating slap in the face.
As a low-ranking maid in the Hall of Green Delights, she was being suppressed and had no choice but to make a change.
Seeing through the glittering facade with a cool eye and armed with a silver tongue, she joined Wang Xifeng’s side, rose against the odds, and became a powerful woman who ran the household.
In the Grand View Garden, Lin Daiyu paid her debts in tears and met a tragic end. Lin Hongyu, whose name differed by just one character, carved out a splendid path through the mortal world with her bare hands.
She would not be the Crimson Pearl Fairy. She would be Hongyu, living in the world.
See how she survives in feudal society, breaks the shackles of class, earns her freedom, and takes charge of her own life!
Jia Yun: Baoyu, but an inspirational version.
Hongyu: Daiyu, but a worldly version.
The writing style is very good, the diction is very red, but the heroine doesn't look like someone from time travel, she looks like an aborigine. The relationship with Jia Yun is also strange. The two of them don't know each other at all, they just like each other's appearance.
The heroine's character is relatively flat? There are no memorable points, and I feel like I am being pushed along by the plot.
