[Dream of the Red Chamber] For Your Sake

Lin Ruhai is reborn at the time of Daiyu’s birth. In this life, he will raise his daughter well so she won’t have to live under someone else’s roof or suffer mistreatment. In this life, he will save his son, ensure his family line does not die out, and restore the Lin family’s glory. In this life, he will live freely and wholeheartedly, devoting his life to making up for the regrets of the past. A snarky version: Lin Ruhai: I worked like a horse for you in my last life, and in the end my family was ruined and I died. I didn’t even dare speak the little thoughts I kept in my heart. You had wives and concubines by the dozen, while I didn’t even have a son. And when I finally raised a daughter, she had to go live under the Jia family’s roof. Now that I’ve finally come back, even if fate can’t be changed, I’ll protect my girl. You can take care of all that national business yourself. I’m done serving you. A friendly reminder: Lin Ruhai is reborn in Chapter 5. The author was too attached to the first four chapters to leave them out, so readers who want to get to the story sooner can start with Chapter 5. P.S. This story is set in an alternate world. Basic etiquette, official titles, and so on are mostly based on the Ming and Qing dynasties. P.P.S. I’m a Daiyu fan, and this is primarily a Lin Ruhai danmei fanfic. Fans of Jia Min, Baochai, Baoyu, the Jia family, and others should read with caution. Please read the announcement and extra chapters carefully before buying. Please favorite my author page. Empress Xiaoyiren: Case Files 1 is complete. A new story about the Empress Dowager is in the works. Chibi character designs, thanks to the wonderfully eccentric work of my friend Yinzi.

I’ll open commissions after the story is complete. For now, I’m putting up the promotional image for everyone to see~ #favorite_1{color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold;border-style:single;} Theme:
