    Does Daiyu's younger brother count as reborn? Lin Jingyan, Daiyu's younger brother, is reborn with memories of his past life before Daiyu went to the Jia family. Their mother has just passed away, Lin Ruhai is struggling in Jiangnan, and his son's fate is uncertain. Left with no other choice, he sends the young Daiyu into danger. At this moment, the son is alive, and the two siblings are packed up and sent to the Jia family. Along with servants, they are given many belongings and tens of thousands of taels of silver. Then, in the backyard of the Jia family, amidst a group of incredibly talented old ladies, the first wife, the mistress, the young ladies, maids, and servants, Lin Jingyan first meets Baoyu. In the ensuing showdown, Lin Jingyan, though defeated, is still honorable. He doesn't even eat at the Jia family mansion, leaving behind tens of thousands of taels of silver before heading to the Lin family's courtyard in the capital. The silver thus enters the Jia family's private treasury without a second thought. Isn't this just taking money and causing trouble for others? But survival is the only true principle; in the face of life and death, everything else is insignificant. Daiyu's younger brother was preparing for the imperial examinations at the Lin family mansion. The Jia family matriarch, feigning ignorance, would occasionally send Daiyu to the Jia mansion to make her presence felt. Coincidentally, Baoyu was always there, mocking Daiyu's brother, saying that the family was declining and only resorting to the imperial examinations because they were desperate. Daiyu, furious, no longer concealed her anger and immediately turned hostile. Indeed, the Rongguo Mansion's matriarch had passed away, and the entire Rongguo Mansion hadn't offered any condolences, yet they still gave the young lady a courtesy name and used her deceased mother as a pretext to appease Baoyu. How could the siblings feel at ease staying in the Jia mansion? Once they left, their lives were incredibly comfortable, surrounded by high-ranking officials and learned scholars, including the Princess and the Marquis of Nanning—each a figure of greater influence than the Jia family. Jia Lian had even made a name for himself, catching the Emperor's eye during a preliminary attempt in Jiangnan, and his rise to power seemed inevitable. At this time, her father, Jia She, died in battle, and the Jia family line officially began to diverge. Jia Lian went to the border to inherit his father's business, while Jia Zheng, along with his mother and others, fled the capital to seek refuge with Prince Bei Jing. Meanwhile, Daiyu and her younger brother began their journey of establishing themselves… The story continues, with new chapters constantly being written. A brand new Daiyu comes alive on the page—confident, healthy, talented, and loving—a Daiyu vastly different from the one in the original novel. She is a voice for contemporary women, tirelessly striving to create a space of her own for women in the inner quarters of the household. And for such a woman, her secret crush has arrived…
