The Dream of Red Mansions: Bells and Cauldrons

My new novel, currently being updated: Seizing the Azure Sky Blurb: During the Jingtai era of the Great Zhao dynasty, natural disasters and human calamities struck one after another. The court was in constant disarray, and refugees rose up everywhere, taking to the banners to overthrow the tyrant. Wang Zhong was born and raised in those times. After all his struggles, all he wanted was a meal to fill his stomach. If you're interested, please visit my profile and add it to your favorites. Thank you to everyone who supports the author and buys official editions. Love you all~~ Blurb: Mo Pan arrived in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber in a daze, becoming Lin Ruhai's eldest son, who had been raised away from the family. With a shrewd mother, adorable younger brothers, and a handful of good friends and mentors to support him, Mo Pan's life was comfortable and peaceful. Then a letter that was "just like in the old days" plunged his orderly life into a turbulent undercurrent. The Lin clan: The Lin family finally has an heir! The Jia family: He's just an illegitimate son. How could he ever outrank Miss Lin?! The imperial clan: Hey! Who dares bully my nephew-in-law's wife?! The venerable monk Huici: Amitabha. Fate comes and goes, and cannot be forced. Benefactors, you should take things in stride! Lin Ruhai: My Lin family is about to die out, and you expect me to take things in stride?! Lin Daiyu: I have three older brothers. I'm so happy! Announcement: This novel will go VIP at noon on Saturday, with a 10,000-word update to celebrate. I hope you'll support it! A few notes about this novel: 1. The male lead has lofty ambitions, and his surname won't be Lin. 2. The male lead's mother has a life of her own. She and Lin Ruhai will hardly ever meet, and apart from their child, they won't have any romantic involvement. 3. As talented as Lin Daiyu may be, she is still just a little girl who can't control her own fate. She has no power to decide her future and can only serve as a backdrop that advances the plot. The author doesn't dislike her, but the male lead won't become her lovesick lackey. 4. When it comes to the unfortunate girls in Dream of the Red Chamber, the male lead will offer them opportunities if he happens to meet them, but he won't interfere of his own accord. Come to think of it, are any of the girls in Cao Xueqin's work absolutely good? Each is unique; that's not necessarily the case. 5. As for the Jia family, if they provoke the male lead, he won't go easy on them for anyone's sake. 6. Miaoyu and the twins have a purely brother-and-sister relationship, with no romance. 7. Jia Min will die within the same timeframe as in the original. Lin Daiyu will not be raised by Mo Qingluan, the male lead's mother. 8. I'll add more if I think of anything. Finally, there are lots of Dream of the Red Chamber fanfics, but this is my version. The characters will do as I say!!! Theme: Cherish the present
