    This is the first time I've seen such an imaginative interpretation of *Dream of the Red Chamber*. World Structure: The Great Thousand World + Three Thousand Small Worlds. The protagonist's world, *Dream of the Red Chamber*, is located in one of the Three Thousand Small Worlds, in the late Ming Dynasty. World Status: The immortals and Buddhas of the Great Thousand World are resisting the invasion of extraterrestrial demons. Currently, the extraterrestrial demons are multidimensional beings similar to the Singer civilization in *The Three-Body Problem*. Baoyu is the five-colored stone left over from Nuwa's patching of the sky; Daiyu is the reincarnation of the Third Holy Mother. The lamp Daiyu gives to Baoyu is actually the Lotus Lantern. Lotus Lantern Effects: Reverses time and space, travels through three thousand worlds, develops the host's power, and urges the host to learn various modern knowledge. Currently unlocked 3,000 minor worlds: A future Earth in 2050 (possessing highly advanced technology; Baoyu opened a company in this world, developed an all-powerful robot and gene-enhancing drugs, and then brought them back to the Dream of the Red Chamber world); The Ninja World during the Naruto Shippuden era (Baoyu learned the value of human life in this world, mastered various ninjutsu, and became ruthless); A mysterious and wild world (possessing various creatures of enormous size; Baoyu's current strength is insufficient to explore it). Latest chapter plot: Baoyu travels in the Ninja World, pretending to be controlled by Danzo using Kotoamatsukami, taking the opportunity to learn various ninjutsu. The Dream of the Red Chamber world is in the late Ming Dynasty, where the Ming Dynasty is being defeated by various small countries, triggering Tanchun's marriage alliance. Daiyu uses the all-powerful robot she brought back from future Earth in 2050 to stop Tanchun's marriage alliance, protect the Jia family, fight against the emperor, kill the emperor, and become the emperor herself.
