A Table Tennis Champion in Dream of the Red Chamber

Table tennis player Lu Huan woke up as Jia Huan of the Rongguo Mansion, completely bewildered.

He'd been playing a crucial game in a team event, so why had he ended up inside a book?

A mysterious voice in his head told him:

"The Fairy Disenchantment watched yesterday's singles match and bet big on you to win the championship. She never expected you to lose so badly, and now she thinks you need some life experience."

Jia Huan shouted in fury: "Let me go back and finish the match!"

Mysterious voice: "The fairy has ordered you to undergo a trial. Revive the Jia family, and we'll send you back to your original world, at the same time and place."

Jia Huan: "What if the Jia family can't be saved? Then I'll just wait to die and take my leave..."

Mysterious voice: "Then you'll be beyond saving too. Wait to die and take your leave!"

Question: What's it like to be reborn as a lowborn son of the Jia family?

Jia Huan, profession: table tennis player:

Thanks for the invite.

Every morning, I wake up to find my relatives doing something suicidal.

Did the Jia family do something suicidal today? Yes.

Are they dead? Not yet.

Good. If they're not dead, I'll play a few more rounds.

Saving the Jia family keeps me busy, but I mustn't forget the important mission of promoting table tennis.

Foreigners provoke us with a ball? I'll teach you a lesson in no time.

The Jia Mansion could skip building a garden and make a table tennis court instead. That'd be great.

With my excellent skills, I can dominate any court as if no one else were there!

Until one day, Third Master Huan met a girl on the court and fell for her at first sight.

The girl pursued him relentlessly: "Stop right there!"

Jia Huan reluctantly tried to let her go and shrank into a ball: "I-I can't fall for a fan. It's a matter of professional ethics!"

Girl: "What fan? You're sick, and I've got the medicine!"
