[Dream of the Red Chamber] Madam Lin, First-Rank Lady

[Thank you all for supporting the official release!] [Please add Give Zhuge Liang a College Student via Airdrop [Three Kingdoms] to your favorites~] Jiang Luo transmigrated into the household of the Lin family as a concubine. She lounged in a comfortable little courtyard, enjoyed her quiet life, and focused on saving money, ready to quit as soon as Lin Ruhai died. But for some reason, Lin Ruhai didn't die on schedule. He rose to the rank of a first-grade official, and even got her promoted to a first-grade madam? Just then, Consort Jia came home to visit. Seeing that Jiang Luo was young and inexperienced, Madam Wang made an outrageous demand and asked to borrow three hundred thousand taels to build a residence for the visit. Jiang Luo was terrified: Yes, I don't get a say at home. She "fell ill with fright," and word that the Jia family had no money spread across the capital. Old Madam Jia was so angry she cursed Madam Wang for being stupid. Not long afterward, the Jia family tried to mend their relationship and warmly invited Jiang Luo to admire the plum blossoms. Jiang Luo: I've heard that people in your household are always saying Daiyu is sharp-tongued and petty, not as generous as so-and-so, and even spreading rumors that she doesn't do needlework. Since I'm here, I might as well take her home. Old Madam Jia nearly fainted: Go find out which little harpy has been wagging her tongue! Later, the Jia family's decline became impossible to hide. Old Madam Jia made one last desperate attempt to arrange a marriage between Jia Baoyu and Daiyu, hoping it might save the family. But Jiang Luo immediately said: Our Daiyu is famous throughout the capital and is a female scholar of the dynasty. Jia Baoyu wouldn't be worthy of her even if he married into her family! This is out of the question! The Jia family: ??? You get to make the decisions now? - An alternate universe, not a Qing dynasty transmigration story. Baoyu and Daiyu will not end up together. - Male-lead fans, please do not read. - A slice-of-life story. The female lead is an ordinary person with no cheat ability, but she does have a career arc. If you're looking forward to the female lead building a career that is ahead of its time, or if you think "it's only natural for the male lead to use the power of society and family to succeed, but a woman in ancient times who achieves something with help from others is inferior and doesn't count as successful," then please don't read this ^^ - Wu's upcoming novel: Give Zhuge Liang a College Student via Airdrop [Three Kingdoms] You are a female college student who mysteriously appears at Zhuge Liang's military residence. Your origins are unknown. You're nervous and ill at ease, and your knowledge of Three Kingdoms history is limited to a few well-known stories. So when the "lord" and Military Advisor Zhuge press you for answers, asking, "The loss of Jingzhou through negligence? Who attacked it? What year did it happen?" all you can do is look back at them with clear, possibly foolish eyes and timidly reply in a tiny voice: "I-I really don't know anymore..." Theme: A tribute to ancient women who live, grow, and persevere through hardship
