The Lin Family's Great-Uncle in Dream of the Red Chamber

Lin Ye is a winner in the eyes of the world. Born into humble circumstances, he was made a marquis at a young age and wields great power. No one knows that he is not from this world at all, but has transmigrated here.

Seven years ago, after failing a mission, he transmigrated into the body of a sickly young scholar whose parents had both died.

Nearby, a pack of awful relatives waited eagerly to take everything he owned.

Things went badly from the start, but luckily, he found a benefactor. With help from a distant relative, he dealt with those awful relatives, abandoned scholarship for military service, and became a low-ranking banner officer.

After becoming a banner officer, he met a young man. Thinking he had found true love, he never expected to discover that he was merely part of a game played by the royal family. Lin Ye took it in stride: if the prince had no feelings for him, then that was that. So what if he was a prince? Lin Ye turned and headed for the border. As someone who had transmigrated here, with love out of the picture, he might as well make a name for himself. He would earn a glorious military reputation, and at least make his transmigration worthwhile.

In only seven years, he earned a marquisate through military service and was summoned back to the capital by the emperor. A long-overdue letter also made him realize that he had not only transmigrated, but transmigrated into a book. The famous Lin Daiyu was actually his grandniece. Though this came as a surprise, he still decided to raise her well.

But there were always people who refused to let him raise a child in peace.

Lin Ye silently stared at the beauty on his bed, whose clothes were half undone, revealing pale shoulders, and whose face was full of innocent bewilderment. He took a deep breath, then snatched up the quilt beside him with lightning speed and wrapped the person inside from head to toe. Before his bundled-up guest could even react, he hoisted him over the wall and returned him to the neighboring mansion.

As the emperor's son, Tu Rui had never wanted anything he couldn't get.

He was born to the empress who succeeded the previous one. His mother might have wanted him to fight for the throne, but he had little interest in becoming emperor. He would much rather be a carefree, amorous prince, so he had long ago thrown in his lot with his second elder brother.

When he traveled south of the Yangtze with his second elder brother, he happened to be rescued by a young man. On a whim, he claimed to be the illegitimate son of a wealthy merchant. As he watched the young man's affection deepen and enjoyed being cared for, Tu Rui thought he might as well bring him back to the capital as a bodyguard.

He never expected that once his true identity was revealed, the young man would turn and leave without a second thought.

“If you walk away today, you will never see me again,” Tu Rui said angrily.

“Your Highness is noble beyond compare. I wouldn't dare presume,” the slender young man replied, then turned and left without hesitation.

Tu Rui thought he could forget him, but in the end he couldn't. He kept asking after him.

After waiting seven years, he finally saw his elder brother ascend the throne and the man return to the capital. This time, he would bind him to his side for good and never let him escape again.

After her father's death, Daiyu was brought back to the Jia family. She had thought she would live there from then on, but six months later, a marquis's residence suddenly sent for her. Only then did Daiyu learn that she had a distant elder relative, entrusted by her dying father to look after her. When she first arrived at the marquis's residence, Daiyu was nervous and afraid of doing anything wrong. But she soon realized that she really was doing things wrong, because no one here expected her to walk on eggshells. Her great-uncle was an elder, but he never acted like one. He took her on outings beyond the city and taught her lessons she had never heard before. There was just one thing: the prince from the neighboring residence was always dropping by uninvited. He seemed amiable, but Daiyu always felt he had bad intentions. To protect her great-uncle, Daiyu decided she needed to work harder.

The Lin family great-uncle raises his grandniece while taking time to match wits with his nemesis.

[Qing Dynasty + Dream of the Red Chamber] Saving My Dear Father Again Today

Transmigrating as the only son of the infamous Eighth Prince, one of the losers in the Nine Princes' struggle for the throne, what is Hongwang supposed to do? Seeing his father holding him and grinning foolishly, he decides that, since he grew up without a father in his previous life, maybe he should at least try to make this work.

Soon, he realizes something is off.

The man standing beside his father and poking fun at him is actually his Fourth Uncle, the famously cold-faced Yongzheng Emperor!

His family lives next door to the Yongzheng Emperor.

When his father takes him to mooch a meal at Fourth Uncle's house, Hongwang watches the brothers get along so well and feels deceived. How exactly did his father and Fourth Uncle become mortal enemies, locked in a fight to the death?

Just as Hongwang is focused on keeping an eye on his father, staying clear of the struggle for the throne, and clinging to Fourth Uncle's coattails,

Fourth Uncle returns from an investigation in the south with a little girl named Lin Daiyu.

The moment Hongwang hears the news, he climbs over the wall to the neighboring residence.

That brat Hongli is asking for trouble, getting so close to Lin Daiyu. How dare he set his sights on her?

Kangxi hears an amusing story: his fourth son has adopted a goddaughter in the south, and Hongwang, the sharp-tongued son of his eighth son, has suddenly learned how to say nice things. He climbs over the wall into the Prince Yong's residence every day to bring the little girl gifts, and even gets into fights with Hongli and Hongshi, the fourth son's sons. Kangxi thinks the children are so lively.

The Prince of Yong, who has adopted a well-behaved daughter, is very displeased. He coldly tells his eighth brother to take his unruly child home. Yin Si, caught in the crossfire, can only smile apologetically. He can't control this son of his. How about you take him in, Fourth Brother?

Dream of the Red Chamber: The Young Scion

He Xichao, a professor of engineering, dies while saving someone and is lucky enough to travel through time to an alternate dynasty, where he becomes the youngest son of a duke's family. He resolves to live a life of comfortable leisure, but then a bolt from the blue: he has landed in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber! What is he waiting for? Lin Daiyu, here I come!

After traveling thousands of miles to Yangzhou, Lin Hai holds his three-year-old daughter and says affectionately, “This is my little girl! Yu'er, call him elder brother.”

Daiyu gives him a sweet smile. The goddess image is shattered, but she's just so adorable his heart melts. Being her big brother isn't so bad, but why is his little sister so smart? Stung by the comparison, He Xichao rolls up his sleeves to restore his image. He demonstrates the pinhole camera for Daiyu and wins her astonished, admiring gaze. From then on, she becomes his little sidekick, and they throw themselves into the world of experiments.

When He Xichao comes to his senses, Lin Daiyu is still a gifted young woman, but what she writes seems a little off. Where are the flowers?

Daiyu calmly replies, “Are you planning to study flower grafting, Senior Brother? I have some material for you.”

He Xichao silently lowers his head and takes a bite of the greenhouse fruit Daiyu has developed. It's delicious. Actually, this isn't bad at all.

Lin Daiyu devotes herself to scientific research and invents things with He Xichao. Before they know it, the two of them are richer than the nation.

The brothers Xiao Mingxuan and Xiao Mingyu exchange glances and cough twice to remind the pair they are there. He Xichao looks up and purses his lips. People who live off others have no right to speak.
