I'm sorry, everyone. I've been unwell lately and had to stop updating for a while. My stomach kept hurting on and off, and I thought there was something wrong with it. Repeated trips to the hospital did not help. It was only last month that I found out I had gallstones. Then the inflammation was so severe that I had to keep taking anti-inflammatory medication. I have only just had surgery, which is why I haven't updated. Starting today, I will resume updates. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!
One is an impoverished orphaned girl, frail and sickly. The other is a scholar from a poor family, a newly appointed top graduate. The two should never have crossed paths, but an imperial decree ordering their marriage binds them together.
When they first meet, Lin Daiyu is gravely ill and does not even have the strength to get out of bed. Her position in the Jia household is awkward.
Meanwhile, Xie Qinyu has just passed the imperial examinations at the top of his class and is riding high. In his red scholar's robe, he stands beneath the bamboo, as elegant as an orchid and a jade tree.
Lin Daiyu is heartbroken. She fears that she will bring misfortune to the brilliant young scholar and make him a widower at such a young age.
But Xie Qinyu says, "My only wish is that my wife may be free of trouble year after year, and that all her hopes may shine bright!"
P.S. This continues from after Jia Baoyu's wedding. The Jia household will probably be portrayed negatively, so please don't read if you dislike that.
Next story to fill in: The Red Chamber: The Disgraced Heir
Mu Jinhuai is a researcher with a doctorate in the future. An accident occurs while he is testing a space-time machine. When he opens his eyes again, he has transmigrated into the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, into the body of an unlucky man who shares his name.
The unlucky man was heir to the Prince of Dong'an's household. His maternal grandfather commanded a powerful army, and the emperor was his maternal uncle. But the emperor lost his struggle with the Retired Emperor, and his grandfather was exiled. Then his stepmother framed him, stripping him of his position as heir and poisoning him.
After transmigrating, Mu Jinhuai is driven out of the prince's household. To survive, he has no choice but to open a general store on South Street.
The store sells everything: crop seeds that increase yields, medicine that cures illness and saves lives, advanced weapons beyond this world's technology, and all sorts of other things.
One day, Jia Baoyu brings a servant to ask him to treat a girl named Lin Daiyu.
The moment Mu Jinhuai sees Lin Daiyu, he is stunned by her beauty. There is actually a girl this beautiful in the world, completely natural, with not a trace of artificial enhancements or synthetic technology!
The second time they meet, his uncle the emperor tells him that Lin Daiyu is the daughter of a loyal official and orders him to look after her on his behalf.
As he keeps looking after her, he develops feelings for her. Then a monk and a Daoist suddenly appear, claiming that Lin Daiyu is the reincarnation of the Crimson Pearl Immortal and has come to the mortal world to settle a karmic debt by repaying her tears.
As an atheist from the future, Mu Jinhuai looks at the pair as if they are idiots. "I know what tears are made of: 99 percent water, plus inorganic salts, proteins, immunoglobulin A, glucose, urea, and so on. Are you sure this stuff can water flowers?"
Seeing that the monk and Daoist are adamant, Mu Jinhuai reluctantly gives in. "How many tears do you need?"
The monk and Daoist reply, "The Crimson Pearl Immortal must shed all the tears of her life to repay the debt."
Mu Jinhuai calculates. "A person sheds about 100,000 milliliters of tears over a lifetime, at most 467 kilograms. You two are hobbling around to collect a debt, so I'll round it up to a ton. Come pick it up tomorrow."
The monk and Daoist: ...
The next day, Mu Jinhuai keeps his word and has a ton of tears delivered. The monk and Daoist are furious. "We asked for tears!"
Mu Jinhuai looks completely innocent. "These are tears. The formula is exactly the same. Don't believe me? Try some."
Theme: No matter how difficult your circumstances, keep moving forward and you will see the light.
As the saying goes, if you don't kill a snake, you will be harmed by it. Concubine Huo wanted to trick the emperor to death, but the emperor never suppressed this poisonous woman to the end and showed mercy... Sooner or later, he will really be harmed by this poisonous woman...
She is still a concubine, this emperor is such a waste
If Concubine Huo is not dealt with for one day... She will cause even greater trouble. Does the Emperor think that his life is too long? He only demoted her status without checking her carefully and dealing with her properly...
Daiyu's baby is too miserable. Be kind to Daiyu, dear, and let her be happy and prosperous.
Miss Huo is so shameless. She wants to steal other people's husbands, and she also wants to be a good person... To put it bluntly, she is not pretending to be anything and she wants to build a memorial arch... It's so fun to watch the male protagonist become domineering~ I hope he can continue to be domineering! It was probably Princess Heshun who was recalled to the palace by the emperor, not Miss Huo...
The princess recommended Sister Lin and the others to come to this Taoist temple with problems. Does that mean that the princess also has a problem?
Miss Huo wouldn't be ruthless if she wanted to attack the innocent sister Lin. Why does she feel that others are ruthless now that it falls on her?
There is a thief in the hero's house, and he still has to deal with the travel. The hero needs to deal with it as soon as possible~ The mother and daughter of the Huo family are really disgusting!
She tricked someone and wanted to reconcile with them. Fortunately, Concubine Huo didn't have time to act, otherwise she would have been sprayed in the face by the queen first.
This Huo Meizhao has the nerve to say that others use dirty tricks. There is no one more disgusting than his family and they like to use dirty tricks. They are really a disgusting family. They are bad at their core.
