[Dream of the Red Chamber] Spring Is Not Yet Over

The prophecy reads: The splendor of spring cannot last; she casts off her finery and dons a nun's robes. Poor daughter of a noble household, lying alone beside an ancient Buddha beneath a lone lamp. Reborn, Zhao Wan has finally seen through it all. Deep affection and devotion are nothing but delusions; a life of wealth and privilege lasts only a while. The idea that human will can conquer fate is just another dream. In this life, Zhao Wan decides to submit to fate. With the ancient Buddha and a lone lamp for company, she will trade it all for a peaceful life. Duan Yan is well and truly fed up. He worked tirelessly for the Great Jing Dynasty his entire life, always cautious and diligent, and went through untold hardship to earn a reputation as a benevolent ruler. And what did he get for it?! He closes his eyes, opens them again, and suddenly he's back at the beginning. So all those decades of hard work and worry went to [bleep]! This is just too much. Nothing short of flipping the table will appease the people! But... this life seems a little different. There are so many ridiculous clowns around. Duan Yan thinks watching from the sidelines really is a great idea. Of course, it would be even better if he could find someone to watch with! P.S. The heroine transmigrates first into Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, then into Dream of the Red Chamber. She's no martial arts expert and knows nothing about medicine or poison. She's just picked up some life experience. She's a little cold and distant, but not frigid, really! P.P.S. The male lead is reborn and unapologetically scheming. P.P.P.S. Some important supporting characters have transmigrated too, including the heroine's older brother. There's not much household or palace intrigue, since the author isn't clever enough to write it. The heroine has her flaws [shrugs]. P.P.P.P.S. To make the plot work, some characters' ages have been changed. It's just a matter of setting, haha [dragging away this idiot who keeps making a fool of himself]. P.P.P.P.P.S. For various reasons, this story is set in an imaginary world!
