Jiang Jin, a twenty-four-year-old kindergarten teacher, died unexpectedly while waiting in line. When she awoke, she had become the young madam of the Jingyuan Marquis's household in the Great Zhou dynasty, a young mother who had just given birth. The swaddled baby, whose name meant “wrinkly,” was surnamed Lin and called Hai-ge.
So Lin Hai was Lin Ruhai.
This was the very Lin Ruhai who would one day place third in the palace examination, marry Jia Min, father Lin Daiyu, and die young while serving in Yangzhou.
With the tragedy of Dream of the Red Chamber still decades away, a soul from the future is crouched beside the cradle, patching up this little boat, soon to sink, inch by inch.
Save the Jia family, break up Bao and Dai, and portray Jia Zheng and Madam Wang negatively.
