Dream of the Red Chamber: Jia Huan, an Ordinary Man

Duo Ma has a new story. Please add it to your favorites! The Great Xuan Dynasty's Number One Slacker Lin Xi was born with a cheat this time around. Born in a time of peace and prosperity, blessed with wealth, leisure, good fortune, and a long life, and with a golden finger to top it all off, she's set for life! All she has to do is lie around, eat, wait to die, and enjoy life. Sixteen years later, Lin Xi steps outside the imperial city for the first time. She sees refugees lining the road and gapes. "What happened to the promised age of prosperity?" "...This is already an age of prosperity." A year later, Lin Xi ventures into the countryside for the first time. Seeing bandits everywhere, she asks, "What happened to the promised peace?" "...This is already considered peaceful." Many years later, Lin Xi angrily smashes a weapon. "What happened to the promised life of a slacker?" Everyone: "...You've already been slacking plenty." Duo Ma's completed stories, for when you're out of things to read: The Cannon Fodder's Turn [Dream of the Red Chamber] I'm Just an Ordinary Guy [Crossover] Cannon Fodder, Do You Want to Fight Back? The Great Qing's Number One Dandy [Dream of the Red Chamber] The Lin Family's Son [Dream of the Red Chamber] Jia Huan, an Ordinary Man Go Away, Stop Trying to Win Me Over! A college student who died in an accident was unlucky enough to be reborn as a concubine-born son of the Jia family. He has completely forgotten his past life. He's just an ordinary person, with no foreknowledge, no pocket dimension, no special abilities, and no golden finger. And yet he finds himself aboard the decaying ship that is the Jia family. Jia Baoyu: Huan'er looks refined and elegant, too. I never thought he would be a vulgar nobody who leeches off the nation! Jia Huan: Of course Second Brother doesn't need to leech off the nation. He only needs to spend the money those people earn on food, drink, and fun. Jia Huan: What does it have to do with me if you and the Crown Prince fight over the empire! Si Si: If he weren't competing with me for you, I wouldn't be fighting him for the throne! Jia Huan: What does it have to do with me if you clean up the Ministry of Revenue! Si Si: You're afraid of the cold in winter and the heat in summer, but you can't use ice or burn charcoal. You need to live in four different places throughout the year. If I don't have money, how am I supposed to build you a palace? Coming up with a title is so hard. Sincere Love for Huan was too corny, so I went back to my usual style: a slacker, a commoner, and now an ordinary man! (Since I've brought Dream of the Red Chamber and the Fourth Prince together, both the original story and Qing history inevitably have to change. That's what fanfiction is: the same people playing out a somewhat different story. If my story differs from what you know and you don't like it, click X. No personal attacks, and no historical nitpicking.) Thanks to Tianshan for the beautiful cover. I love it! Theme:
