[Dream of the Red Chamber] Better to Cultivate Immortality Than Fight in the Inner Courtyard

Announcement: This novel will be premium from December 18, with three chapters released that day. Also, the author doesn't like people who pick fights, so troublemakers, keep away. If you're itching for an argument, keep it to yourself. When Li Qingshuang discovered that the young lady she was to serve was named Lin Daiyu, she thought she'd transmigrated into Dream of the Red Chamber. So she dutifully set to work, doing her best to survive the household intrigue. But as she went about her business, she suddenly realized that the monk selling roast pork outside Daxiangguo Temple was Lu Zhishen, and the wealthy medicine shop owner in town was surnamed Ximen. Well, would you look at that. The story had also thrown in Water Margin and The Plum in the Golden Vase. She bundled up and put the big monk Lu between herself and Master Ximen, then carried on with the household scheming. Some time later, she stopped for a rest at a tea stall and overheard a poor scholar at the next table saying he was going to Lanruo Temple to subdue a demon. Her steadfast resolve to focus on household intrigue began to waver. When the band of master and disciples from the Great Tang of the Eastern Lands descended from the sky on seven-colored clouds, Li Qingshuang cried, "Great Sage! Brother Monkey! Let me cling to your coattails!!!" A Crossover of classic Chinese literature, mainly Dream of the Red Chamber, with Water Margin, Journey to the West, The Plum in the Golden Vase, Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, Investiture of the Gods, Legend of the Swordsmen of Shu Mountains, and various other folk tales. The plot will stick as closely to the original works as possible, with no unnecessary embellishments. P.S. The heroine is sensitive, sentimental, and the type who has seen through the ways of the world, so romance is beside the point. P.P.S. This amateur author can't promise to have the skill for this, so any OOC is on me, and all the brilliance belongs to Cao Xueqin. Completed older works: "The Whole World Fears Me Erasing Their Spiritual Foundations" "After the Spiritron Transfer Went Wrong" "[Crossover] Mr. Gai Is Having a Wonderful Time Slacking Off" "Will Gudako and the Doctor Fall in Love Online?"

Next novel: "Pretty Uchiha, Aiming to Become Hokage Online" Question: What's it like to become Hokage? Answer: Hi, I'm Izuna. I'm in Konoha, just walked out of the Hokage's office. Nii-san hasn't gone crazy, all the tailed beasts are accounted for, and the world is perfectly peaceful. As an educated little brother who's been spoiled with countless plot spoilers, I'll tell you sincerely: to become a successful Hokage, you need to develop education, build infrastructure on a grand scale, kill the daimyo (?), establish a first-rate ninja sect for the whole shinobi world in a new era (???), and... watch out for the ill-intentioned Senju brutes. Yes, you! You Senju blockhead, get the hell out of here!!! Main pairing: Tobirama and Izuna. Side pairing: Hashirama and Madara. Mainly Naruto, with Ranma (the springs are great), Jujutsu Kaisen, The Garden of Sinners, and that little shinigami detective possibly added as appropriate. Theme: All living beings suffer, and love brings nothing but calamity.
