Dream of the Red Chamber: Golden Osmanthus

In the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, she's already in her wedding sedan, and the groom is the overbearing fool?!

After transmigrating into a book, Jin Gui was dumbfounded for a full quarter of an hour. She looked up at the gilded sign above the Rongguo Mansion, then at the drunken Xue fool in the crowd. She swiftly took off her bridal crown and called off the wedding, making up an excuse on the spot:

"My late father just appeared in a dream and told me this marriage is wrong. I can't go through with it!"

"...What?!!!"

The guests erupted in an uproar and rushed to persuade her.

Jin Gui ignored them, took her maid and dowry straight to Longcui Nunnery, and refused to stay in the little courtyard where the Xue family was lodging at the Jia residence. She wouldn't even go through the wedding ceremony. She was determined to break off the engagement.

Madam Xue was furious and humiliated, hoping her powerful relatives from the Jia and Wang families could deal with the Xia family.

Xue Pan had always been domineering. Unwilling to let the swan he'd tricked into his grasp fly away, he stormed into the nunnery, cursing and threatening to take her by force.

Would Jin Gui put up with that?

She exposed the Hulu case in front of everyone and threatened to report him to the authorities and have the fugitive arrested!

Then she revealed Zhen Yinglian's true origins and urged the Xue mother and son to marry the "Eldest Miss Zhen" instead.

Xiangling was dumbfounded.

The Xue fool lost his nerve.

The Jia and Wang families panicked.

Even Jia Yucun, the former magistrate of Yingtian, couldn't sit still.

The story of Dream of the Red Chamber was nearing its end. The Jia, Wang, Shi, and Xue families were already spent forces, nothing but empty shells trying to intimidate people. Their grand mansions could come crashing down at any moment, and they could no longer control the outcome of lawsuits involving human lives.

Jin Gui was rich, beautiful, and bold, and she knew the plot from having transmigrated into the book. She refused to sink with a rotten ship that was about to go under. After a hundred days of turmoil, she got her letter of release from the engagement and married a man who was just right for her.
