[Story blurb]
[Dream of the Red Chamber + Ping Shan Leng Yan]
Yan Xianzhi had transmigrated into a book thirteen years ago, and had always thought she was there to enjoy the good life.
A family of scholars, a lineage of high officials, a father both strict and reasonable, a loving mother, an open-minded and harmonious family, and a peaceful, comfortable life.
Yan Xianzhi often wondered: Could someone like me really be this lucky?
She had spent thirteen carefree years in Songjiang Prefecture when an imperial edict transferred her father, Yan Hong, to serve in Liangguang for a three-year term.
Her parents discussed the matter. “Our daughter is nearly of marriageable age. If she chooses a husband there, we won’t see much of her. We may as well return to the capital to arrange a match. After I retire, we can all live together again.”
Her mother, Madam Lin, smiled.
“I was thinking the same thing. As it happens, my elder brother wrote to me the other day. He said that before his daughter Daiyu goes to the capital to join her relatives, she’ll visit our home. He’s busy with official business and can’t accompany her, so he’s asked us to look after her.”
“Since we’re already helping, why don’t I take A-Zhi with me and travel to the capital with Daiyu?”
At the unexpected name, the osmanthus cake in Yan Xianzhi’s mouth fell to the floor in fright.
“Who???”
Wait, you can transmigrate into a book that’s a combined edition, too?
[Before You Read]
1. The primary setting is Dream of the Red Chamber, with Ping Shan Leng Yan as a secondary influence. The two are combined.
2. Very unfriendly toward the Xue family and Madam Wang, and unfriendly toward some members of the Jia family.
3. A thousand readers will have a thousand different interpretations. Let’s keep the comments section friendly and discuss things rationally. Please don’t fight.
4. More to come if I think of anything.
[Blurb for the new story]
By the banks of the River of Forgetfulness, beneath the Three Lives Stone, a great stone returned from its mortal tribulation and was horrified to hear that its neighbor, the Little Crimson Pearl Immortal Herb, had descended to the mortal world to repay her tears.
Remembering the Crimson Pearl’s fate from its previous life, the great stone, just one step away from joining the ranks of the immortals, halted in its tracks, turned around, and plunged straight into the human world.
You Jia people, your stone-generation great-aunt is here to fight you to the bitter end!
More than ten years later, Jia Min died in Yangzhou. While mourning, Lin Ruhai agreed to the Rongguo House’s request to send someone to fetch the children.
But this time, the ones traveling to the capital were not only Daiyu and her brother Xiangyu, but also Lin Lingyu, daughter of a family that had joined the Lin clan over a decade ago.
Grandmother Jia: They’re just impoverished relatives who joined the Lin family. They’re not worth any effort.
Madam Wang: Jia Min’s daughter is annoying, and those distant relatives of the Lin family are even more annoying!
Jia Baoyu: Sister Lin is like an immortal. How could she have such a vulgar older sister?
Lin Lingyu smiled faintly and stepped aside to reveal a host of powerful relatives behind her. “Think before you speak. Watch out, or a strong gust of wind might make you bite your tongue!”
[Before You Read]
1. Daiyu is doted on. The story goes in a feel-good direction, with lots of original worldbuilding. Just enjoy it.
2. Baoyu and Daiyu won’t end up together. Unfriendly toward the Jia and Xue families; the rest depends on how things go.
3. More to come if I think of anything.
[Blurb for an upcoming story]
In his previous life, the Seventh Prince lost the struggle for the throne and was ordered to take his entire household’s life.
Reborn at the time when the Loyal Prince was executed and the Retired Emperor and the current emperor were discussing whom to adopt, the ten-year-old Seventh Prince jumped out and shouted, “I’ll go! I’ll go! I’ll go!!!”
Once staying alive was no longer an issue, the Seventh Prince turned his thoughts to marriage.
After much picking and choosing, he finally held his nose and made up his mind: Better to marry the same wife as before.
Then he discovered an even bigger, more urgent problem.
Wait, where’s my wife? The one I had before?
What do you mean my father-in-law only had one son?
//
In her previous life, the Seventh Prince’s consort was virtuous and gracious. Yet she was neglected while giving birth and implicated in his downfall when she died.
By the River of Forgetfulness, she faced several rebirth options and resolutely chose the place farthest from the capital.
Forget it. Whoever wants to be this unlucky prince’s consort can take the job. She’s done with him!
Reborn with her mastery of domestic intrigue maxed out, Lin Piaoyu moves through every situation with ease.
The incense sent by the Jia family is tainted. Little Lin Piaoyu bursts into tears: “Wah! Wah!”
Jia Min: “Why does the child cry whenever she smells this incense? Could it be...?”
A Baldy Monk comes to persuade Daiyu to become a nun. Lin Piaoyu says, “You can’t even cure your own baldness, and you have the nerve to claim you can keep my sister safe? You’re a foul creature with a corrupted heart!”
The Baldy Monk: “Did that brat smear poison on her tongue? Why is she so vicious?”
The Rongguo House tries to bring them to the capital. Lin Piaoyu says, “Go back and tell your household to get ready. Our family makes quite an entrance.”
Madam Wang: “I thought we were taking in a future imperial consort. Why is she so difficult?”
Lin Piaoyu: “Who can you blame? How was I supposed to know what in your house was poisonous?”
Theme: Treat others kindly, and you’ll be rewarded in the long run.
How about kicking Pinghe out of the protagonist? I was very happy to read the article. It actually said that the protagonist did not appear as much as Mrs. Wang.
It's quite good-looking, but the male protagonist's halo as the protagonist is too big, which is outrageous. Even imperial examination papers would not dare to write it like this. Why not put this protagonist aura on the female protagonist?
Where is Concubine Zhen? She is the emperor's concubine, will she be demoted due to this incident? If she were still a noble concubine, then Yan Qianzhi would have to be careful. I feel that Concubine Zhen will not let it go.
"The emperor snorted softly and looked at her..." This is a big bug for the author~ Lin Ruhai's daughter?
"The emperor snorted softly and looked at her..." This is a big bug for the author~ The heroine is not Lin Ruhai's daughter.
The emperor snorted softly and glanced at her: "According to this, should I expel you from the palace?" As Lin Ruhai's daughter, you are able to walk in the palace. I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the investigation, right? ""Catch a big bug for the author~ Niece, why is she a daughter?
It's over like this. I've been following it for a long time and it's all over so suddenly. I'm still a bit unaccustomed to it.
If everyone in the Jia family cannot work together, they will only fall faster.
This Mu Rui is really bad. There is no one else who can take charge of the secret guard like this! Might as well switch to our Xiaoyan!
I feel that the female students written in the article are quite mentally ill. They were all educated by big families. They must have some emotional intelligence.
