[Dream of the Red Chamber] Following Third Master Huan, Qingwen's Life Turns Glorious

Updates whenever inspiration strikes. Finishing by the end of the year.

Naturally scheming little maid * neglected concubine-born son, Third Master Huan

(Main couple: Qingwen, transmigrated into the book, and Jia Laozu, reborn. Side couple: Jia Baoyu * Lin Daiyu)

She transmigrates into Dream of the Red Chamber and becomes Qingwen.

Thinking of the original Qingwen’s tragic fate, “ambition as high as the heavens, a life as thin as paper,” makes her head throb!

Then she remembers the Jia family will be confiscated one day, and her vision goes black.

In an era that devours people, the outside world may not be any better than the household.

At least in the mansion, she’ll have enough to eat and warm clothes to wear.

There’s just one thing: if she wants a peaceful life, she needs to stay away from Jia Baoyu, the root of all trouble!

After turning the plot over in her mind, Qingwen sets her sights on Jia Huan.

He’s a good choice: he has a master’s status without the airs, and most importantly, he’s practically invisible.

For the sake of her future, Qingwen approaches Jia Huan of her own accord.

But why isn’t he much like the character in the original story?

His eyes are clear, his posture is proper, and he shows not the slightest trace of lechery.

Well, never mind. Xiren and Madam Wang are already sharpening their knives, and she can’t afford to dawdle.

But after she really becomes Jia Huan’s, Qingwen realizes her ambitions were far too small...

Who could have guessed that Third Master Huan not only wants to top the imperial examinations and bring glory to his family, but also wants to contend for the empire!

Qingwen: Third Master, even great ambitions need a balance of work and rest. Put out the lamp and get some sleep. :(

Jia Huan: Hah! I’ve worked so hard to build up the family legacy, and it’s practically gone. Do you think I can sleep?!

Only then does Qingwen realize that Third Master is actually the reborn old patriarch of the Jia family!

Qingwen: Third Master, now that you’ve become the top scholar, how much of a reward are you giving your servant?

Jia Huan: How about the title of top scholar’s wife? Want it?

Blurb:

Nezha, here for advanced training * a reformed Linglan

Linglan: (covers her face and bolts) Oh no, it’s Nezha! Running away...

Nezha: (riding his Wind-and-Fire Wheels) Run? You think those two legs of yours can take you to the sky?

Linglan: (smiling apologetically.jpg) No, no, my legs have gone numb. Just stretching them...

Nezha: (smirks) Numb? Perfect. Didn’t you say you were good at cooking? I’m in the mood for spicy numbing legs!

Linglan: (sincerely kneels) Lord Nezha, please don’t do this...

Nezha: (raises an eyebrow) Do what? Don’t rush. That’s for after the lights go out.
