[Dream of the Red Chamber] Daiyu Wants to Be an Older Sister Too

While Daiyu was burying flowers, she happened upon Baoyu reading in the garden.

It was rare to see him studying so diligently, so she asked him about it out of curiosity.

Baoyu mysteriously handed the book over for her to see. Daiyu took it and flipped through it casually. It was full of scheming, fighting, and killing.

Just as she was about to put it down, a familiar name caught her eye. She suddenly remembered the year she first came to the capital. On the way, she had dreamed of the banks of the Han River, where she met Zhou Zhiruo as a child...

[The original setting is wildly different, so please don't nitpick.]

Reader's Guide:

1. Follows the original story, with no rebirth or transmigration. Two storylines run in parallel, with the world of Dream of the Red Chamber as the main focus, interwoven with the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber storyline featuring Zhiruo.

2. The canon pairings remain intact. The plot comes first.

3. I'm a fan of both Daiyu and Zhiruo. Reasonable discussion is welcome.

4. This is a weird plot bunny from years ago. Characters may be out of character.

Theme: Sisters, stand up!
