[Dream of the Red Chamber] After Swapping Bodies with Sister Bao

Lin Xuan, the eldest son of a distinguished marquis's family, has two secrets. His father is Lin Hai, his legitimate mother's maiden name is Jia Min, and he uses his family background to run wild, earning a notorious reputation throughout Gusu.

He can trade anything with people from other worlds.

Every month, he and Xue Baochai switch bodies.

After his birth father and legitimate mother die early, the marquis's house loses half its former splendor. Xue Baochai, living in his body, takes his delicate, willow-like younger sister north to take up an official post, all while handling the chaotic situation with effortless calm and order.

Lin Xuan, who had just beaten Xue Pan while in Xue Baochai's body, thrown away the Lessons for Women, and sent Lin Daiyu another copy of The Peony Pavilion, is stunned.

Xue Baochai had always believed her fate was already decided.

She would become the young mistress of the Rongguo House, or marry into a wealthy family, become someone's virtuous wife and loving mother, and serve as a capable helpmate.

She lived according to plan, gentle yet aloof, until a brand-new life and a pair of hands lifted her up.

"Sister Bao, do you want to become a marquis or a minister and realize your dreams?" That person earnestly ruffled his messy hair and said with a grin, "I'll go with you."

Break free from your chains.

You will have a bright and dazzling future.

Lin Xuan, the illegitimate eldest son of the Lin family, a playboy who's warm on the outside and cold within and dreams of being a kept man x Xue Baochai.
