Synopsis

Lin Daiyu lies coughing blood over her desk, her poems soaked through with crimson.

As she nears death, sealed memories explode into her mind, and she finally realizes that all the love and heartbreak of her life were part of a script written in advance by the Department of Fate for the Doomed. This is an awakening at the brink of despair, as a strong woman rises up to defy her fate.

The tears she shed were nothing but props in the script, meant to repay a debt. Yingchun makes a disastrous marriage, Xiangling drifts from place to place and suffers, and Tanchun is forced to marry far away. Every woman among the Twelve Beauties of Jinling is trapped by a single judgment verse, like a marionette heading toward a tragic ending already written for her.

Baoyu rushes into the room, eyes red, and hurries forward to help her up. “Sister, I heard you were coughing blood. I dropped everything and rushed here to see you!”

Daiyu steps back to the side. Not a trace of her former affection remains in her eyes, and her voice is cold as late-autumn frost. “Second Brother, from now on, let us pretend we never knew each other.”

Heaven senses that fate has strayed from its course, and a crushing pressure descends. Bloody cracks split Daiyu’s fingertips as the source of her Crimson Pearl blood surges through her veins.

She chooses a path of triumph without romance, refusing to remain a Crimson Pearl Grass that others can manipulate at will.

She will tear up the book of fate and break free from the future ordained for her. She will save herself, and she will save everyone, fighting to pull each daughter of the Red Chamber back from the abyss.

The Jia family mansion is on the verge of collapse, and Heaven’s will closes in at every turn. This time, as she defies fate, she will carve out a new life entirely under her own control.
