After Reincarnating as Xue Baochai, I Married into a Powerful Family

Two young ladies arrived at the Rongguo Mansion: Daiyu, their own niece, and Baochai, poised and elegant. Everyone praised Baochai as the better choice for the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion's second branch.

Xue Baochai: I respectfully decline.

After entering the Rongguo Mansion, Xue Baochai went out of her way to avoid the amorous young Jia Baoyu, afraid of getting even the slightest bit entangled with him.

Rumor had it that Jia Baoyu was overflowing with literary talent. Xue Baochai scoffed.

Rumor had it that Jia Baoyu was devoted to Buddhism. Xue Baochai looked disgusted.

Then one afternoon, she saw a young man in simple, elegant clothes standing with his hands behind his back beneath a pear tree. He looked weary, and his eyes held the stillness of someone who had weathered many ups and downs.

Xue Baochai: ??????

Had this man been possessed or something?

A master strategist who had saved a dynasty from ruin in his previous life, he died fighting for his country, only to find no peaceful rest in glory. Instead, a roomful of women woke him up, and then the sea of red around him nearly blinded him.

Exhausted, he removed all the silk from the room, chopped down the "Happy Red Courtyard" plaque that had nearly blinded him, and quietly copied out a Buddhist scripture on desirelessness. Only then did Jia Baoyu begin to recover from his transmigration.

He'd originally planned to continue his former life's work. But one spring afternoon, he met a young woman, and one glance bound him to her for life.

He devoted his life to the court, only to realize in the end that it had all come to nothing. It wasn't until he met that young woman that he finally understood what made life meaningful.
