[New Novel Now Open] - "[Dream of the Red Chamber] Genderbent Daiyu and Baochai"

Blurb:

When Lin Daiyu, the young master of the Lin family, salt commissioners of Yangzhou, travels to Jinling to sit the imperial examinations, he happens upon Xue Pan, young master of the Xue family, forcibly abducting a maid and injuring Feng Yuan.

Young Master Lin is full of youthful righteousness. Seeing the authorities deliver a reckless verdict, he rushes to the Xue residence and beats Xue Pan soundly. Even Miss Xue, Xue Baochai, cannot stop him.

"Is this how people of the Lin family act on impulse?" asked the lovely, refined young woman, her face cold.

"Is this how people of the Xue family turn a blind eye to right and wrong?" replied the dashing young man, unbowed.

Thus, the two become enemies.

When they meet again, he is a Hanlin Academy editor admired by the emperor, delivering messages to His Majesty in the Imperial Study. His prospects are limitless, and everyone envies him.

She, meanwhile, has merely been selected by chance as a companion to the princess, carefully attending to ill-tempered royal children at school, cautious and on tenterhooks.

He silently steps in to help her and sighs for her, but before long he falls into her trap and has no choice but to marry her.

"You schemed against me," he accuses her on their wedding night.

She does not deny it.

Later, tired of playing the virtuous wife, she plans to leave. She would rather become a Taoist nun in the mountains than remain the noble Madam Lin.

Reader's Guide:

1. Daiyu is genderbent.

2. Baochai is one year older than Daiyu.

3. Happy ending.

Blurb:

1. Everyone envies the eldest daughter of the Yangzhou salt commissioner, Lin. Her paternal family is distinguished, her maternal family descends from meritorious officials, and she is the only child in her household. Naturally, she is cherished like a phoenix.

One day, a graceful young man arrives at the Lin residence. Everyone praises his dignified manner and noble bearing. When the eldest Lin daughter hears about him, she puts down her book. Learning that he is a young master of the Xue family, she asks suspiciously, "Then shouldn't I go see him for myself?"

When Xue Chan arrives in Yangzhou, travel-worn, to pay his respects to a former palace examination third-place graduate, the only thing he remembers years later is the girl leaning against a doorway, pausing to smell the flowers.

When two hearts meet beneath the golden autumn breeze and jade-like dew, it is worth more than countless worldly pleasures.

2. In her previous life, Daiyu died of illness, and Baochai married into the Jia family. No matter how hard she tried, she could not stop the Jia family's decline.

When her family was ruined and her loved ones were gone, Baochai collapsed in the icy snow, her consciousness fading. All she could think of was the laughter and joy of their days in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Reborn in this life as the second young master of the Xue family, Baochai must shoulder the burden of her clan. Yet she has always felt guilty toward the little girl of the Lin family. "This time, I'll be the one to protect you."

Bonus Scenes:

1. One day at the Jia residence, Lin Daiyu meets Xue Chan, whom she has not seen in years, at her maternal grandmother's home. She wants nothing to do with him. After all, he left without saying goodbye.

The matrons of the Grand View Garden are astonished to see the usually dignified and proper Young Master Xue anxiously pleading with Miss Lin, circling around her. "Back when we studied and wrote together in Gusu, we were close. Now that we've come to the capital, you've taken to heart that outsider Baoyu and Sister Feng, and you won't give me the time of day!"

2. The Xue family has just welcomed a new bride. Madam Xue gets the urge to visit the newlyweds' room. She finds the bride directing the maids as they arrange everything, transforming Xue Chan's barren, snow-cave-like room into a bright and lovely space. Xue Chan is simply reading and drinking tea nearby.

Madam Xue covers her mouth and laughs. "I always asked you to tidy your room, and you wouldn't. Why are you willing now?"

Xue Chan calmly turns a page. "I listen to my wife."

Notes:

1. Daiyu and Baochai are both reborn.

2. Baochai is genderbent.

3. They are seven years apart in this version.

Coming Soon: "Xiangling's Revenge"

1. Heaven has truly treated me cruelly.

After Xia Jingui beat Xiangling half to death and sold her off, Xiangling lay on the deck of a slave ship, thinking this.

She was heading south. Being buried in her homeland would be a good thing, too.

She wanted nothing but to die, but a pair of hands gripped her chin, forcing her to face her miserable fate.

"Do you want revenge? I can help you."

2. They say General Pei, born to humble origins but acclaimed for his military achievements, refuses to marry. He even rejected the emperor's arranged match because he already has someone in his heart.

Xiangling hurriedly nods. "I can confirm that's true."

She takes out the portrait General Pei keeps treasured. The eager onlookers glance at it, then look at Xiangling strangely. "Isn't that you?"

3. Xiangling clings to Daiyu, tears in her eyes. "A teacher is a parent for life. Miss, please help me refuse this marriage."

Daiyu looks at General Pei's tall, imposing figure and holds Xiangling tighter. "I don't think I can help you."

Reader's Guide:

1. Couple: Xiangling x Pei Yi? Female lead has no sexual experience, male lead does? A somewhat clueless but resilient innocent girl x a calculating, deep-minded, deeply restrained general.

2. Alternate history, continuing the story after the first eighty chapters of Dream of the Red Chamber. The Jia family will certainly be confiscated, but saving Daiyu is a duty I gladly accept.

Coming Soon: Historical Romance, "Spring Colors Sway"

Jiang Shuyue is the least favored princess in the Great Qi imperial palace.

Her father has more than a dozen daughters, and she is unremarkable. Her mother, Noble Consort Wen, has adult sons above her and a baby daughter below her, leaving her no time to care for Jiang Shuyue.

Her mother fights fiercely with the other consorts in the imperial harem and always warns her not to cause trouble. If she cannot make people like her, she must be obedient; otherwise, she will not survive in the man-eating palace.

Jiang Shuyue takes her mother's teachings to heart and never puts a foot wrong. The palace maids and eunuchs know Princess Twelve only as a well-behaved girl.

But none of them know that on that freezing snowy night, she, still unmarried, lay in the arms of Xie Shi, the youngest god of war in Great Qi. They clung tightly to each other, greedily taking their pleasure and warmth.

At dawn, she left in disarray, considering it nothing more than a secret indulgence.

She never expected that later, when her father sought a bride for Xie Shi, he would humbly refuse the empress's match, saying, "This subject wishes to marry only Princess Twelve."

On their wedding night, Xie Shi removes his outer robe. "Princess, I humbly pay my respects."

Jiang Shuyue lowers her head, pretending to be shy. "I'm afraid... I'm afraid it'll hurt."

Xie Shi raises an eyebrow. "You weren't like that that night."

Couple: An outwardly obedient but secretly rebellious, black-hearted, overlooked princess x a cold-faced god of war revered by all, who bows and pledges allegiance to you alone.

Reader's Guide:

Alternate history, with no historical dynasty as its model.

Both leads are sexually inexperienced.

Theme: None
