Live-Streaming in Dream of the Red Chamber as Second Master Lian

Jia Lian, the eldest legitimate grandson of the Rongguo Mansion, took charge of the household affairs. He was prosperous, pleased with himself, and prided himself on being a dashing gentleman.

At the height of his good fortune, an unexpected opportunity came his way, and he stared in shock at a screenful of absurd comments on a livestream system.

He was actually a supporting character in a novel “written to tell the stories of women,” whose ending was known to everyone: a vulgar womanizer, a “seed of depravity.”

“Nothing left but a vast expanse of white” was the ending of this Dream of the Red Chamber. The two mansions would fall after reaching their peak, and when the nest collapsed, not a single egg would remain intact.

His wives and concubines, sisters, and daughters were all important characters among the “Twelve Beauties of Jinling.” In the end, “a thousand beauties would grieve,” their fates unbearable and heartbreaking.

What about him? What would become of him, a thoroughly worldly man?

With a crash, the great mansion would topple; in the gloom, the lamp would burn out.

Watch the worldly Second Master Lian rise up and fight back as the mansion totters and the lamp gutters, turning the tide before all is lost.

Open a hot pot restaurant, grow tomatoes and potatoes, and make friends with the new emperor.

Livestream famous scenes, auction glassware, and trade in porcelain, silk, salt, tea, and sugar.

Sell intangible cultural heritage crafts, calligraphy, and famous paintings to the modern world.

Trade pure, natural, unpolluted meat, eggs, milk, and water to the interstellar world.

Trade knives, swords, daggers, ironware, and farming books to the primitive beastfolk world.

There's no cargo he can't sell, only ideas no one has thought of yet...

Second Master Lian thrives on the livestreaming business,

becoming the number-one interdimensional merchant and living life with carefree abandon!

The Deposed Empress Marries Again

Geng Nianshuang and her cousin grew up together, childhood sweethearts, and were engaged from a young age.

She married upon reaching adulthood. On their wedding night, the late emperor died without an heir.

Her cousin was the closest blood relative among the imperial clan, so he was chosen as heir and ascended the throne.

She, who had not yet been taken to his bed, became empress.

She also became a thorn in the side and a thorn in the eye of those blocking her way.

After years without a child, she was accused of jealousy and lacking virtue, and deposed.

Accused of bearing a grudge and cursing the emperor, she was demoted to the lowest rank in the palace, a laundry slave.

Her youth passed, and the man she once knew was gone, but she never shed a single tear.

She only watched coldly, waiting to see what would become of this immoral, unjust, unrighteous, benighted emperor.

The foolish emperor favored petty men and kept worthy ministers at a distance, and, just as expected, the realm fell into chaos.

Princes and rebel armies rose up everywhere.

In the end, Lin Ruhai, who had once been a beggar and a monk, gathered the rebel armies and marched into the capital.

He set fire to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, stormed the imperial palace, and took the emperor, empress, empress dowager, and princesses all prisoner.

He executed the eunuchs who had stirred up trouble and beheaded the corrupt chief minister.

A man of humble origins ascended the throne as the new emperor.

Geng Nianshuang knew her chance had come.

She carefully plotted and seduced Lin Ruhai, the new emperor who had risen from the ranks of the common people.

Lin Ruhai liked her, just as she had expected, and insisted on making her empress despite everyone's objections.

The ministers were stunned and knelt to remonstrate: “The empress is the mother of the nation. Her appointment concerns the dignity of the state, so she cannot be invested lightly.”

Lin Ruhai glared. “I used to be a beggar, too! I begged for food! If I say she's fit, then she's fit!”

His adoptive mother advised him in a trembling voice: “This woman was deposed as empress by Emperor Hongping. If Your Majesty likes her, you can make her a consort.”

Lin Ruhai was delighted. “So Nian Nian was an empress before? Even better! The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is easy!”

His trusted aide privately warned him: “The empress is calculating. She may interfere in palace affairs.”

Lin Ruhai waved his sleeve. “The empress and I are a match made by Heaven. Heaven's will cannot be defied.”

That so-called will of Heaven was all her painstaking work.

She had originally meant to take revenge and then withdraw, but Lin Ruhai trapped her with the position of empress.

Geng Nianshuang was caught between a rock and a hard place. Would she have to keep up the act for the rest of her life?

Lin Ruhai was full of ambition: “Now that I have a wife, all I need is a chubby baby, and my life will be complete!”
