Chapter 45 of "Dream of Red Mansions", on a rainy night in early autumn, Xue Baochai came to visit Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu deeply felt that she had been too careless in the past and alienated Baochai and Baoyu. She was sad and confused about Baoyu's future. She also heard the wind and rain outside the window and was desolate, so she wrote "A Stormy Evening in the Autumn Window" with her feelings.
