This is the Red Chamber as imagined by Jiuyue.
Lin Daiyu longs for siblings, parents, and a family to call her own. She is given the chance to begin it all anew.
And if we speak of those born noble in this world, she is not the only one: there is also this young gentleman born clutching a jade.
In this world, the life of Lin family's elder sister is also one of privilege and honor.
"Lin Wu, daughter of Lin Hai, Censor of the Salt Administration, was skilled at embroidery. Her needlework was once considered the finest under heaven. At the time, Empress Dowager Yu Yi prized women's needlework, and the daughters of nobles and ministers were expected to excel at sewing and embroidery. Lin's favor with the Empress Dowager grew, and in the sixth year of Yuanchu she was appointed Crown Princess. In the eleventh year of Yuanchu, the Emperor died in Qianji Palace. An edict ordered the Crown Prince to ascend the throne before the late Emperor's coffin. He became Emperor Shizu, and Lin was made Empress."
