Everyone said Wang Jian was lucky to have been born into the household of Wang Ziteng, a high-ranking official. His father held great power, and his relatives could throw their weight around. From the moment he was born, he should have had nothing to worry about for the rest of his life. But only Wang Jian knew that he had been born with a lifetime's worth of worries.
A cousin who beat an innocent man to death over a concubine, a female cousin who abused her power and had several lives on her hands, a male cousin who drank, gambled, and frequented brothels before selling his own niece to traffickers, and a father who always picked the wrong side at court.
You can only choose one of the four. Only a child would think that way. Wang Jian was forced to take care of them all. With a whole family of fools and schemers, he had no choice but to take on the burden of saving his relatives.
Pay compensation when it's due, stop when it's time to stop, and teach them a lesson when they need one. As for his father, that top-rank official position? Hand it over.
Everyone knew that Second Master Jian, who usually kept his head down and stayed out of other people's business, was strangely passionate about one thing: matchmaking. No one could refuse their brother's arrangements.
Xue Pan: At first, I was against marrying her. But then...
Baochai: I thought I could only follow Mother and choose Baoyu. I never imagined I could pick from four.
Yingchun: I don't mind. I'll leave it to Big Brother~
Tanchun: I can't thank you enough, brother.
Everyone said Second Master Jian of the Wang family was capable and always got his way. But only Daiyu knew that her husband was a timid, lazy chatterbox, dependable, exasperating, and rather pitiful.
Only she could see this side of Second Master.
Note:
1. Daiyu is the heroine. She makes her formal debut in Chapter 24 and has only a minor role early on.
2. No character bashing. Baoyu, Baochai, and the three Chun sisters will all get happy endings~

It's great. Sister Lin is happy to be married to the male protagonist. She doesn't have concubines and maids to worry about, and everyone around her has to rely on the male protagonist, so no one dares to speak rudely to Daiyu. It's much better than following Jia Baoyu.
After reading it, the article is not long. At first, I felt that the male protagonist was really awkward and wanted to take care of everything, but how could one person hold up a building that was about to collapse, so he was very entangled and awkward, and even lived a miserable life. Later, when the male protagonist was put into the perspective of a time traveler, I felt the same way. Although the article is not a pleasant article, I still feel a touch of sadness after reading it, but it seems that I have seen another ending, an unsatisfactory but the best outcome, which is also quite good.
It feels like the male protagonist has been struggling, slowly integrating into this society, and resisting his own changes. He wants to change the fate of others but is unable to do so. He says he likes Daiyu, but he seems to be looking for an anchor in his past life to prevent himself from completely integrating into this society. It's so weird.
It's the first time I've seen this type of Red Mansions fanfiction. The male protagonist didn't have extraordinary talent and killed everyone. He didn't save Jia's family and he couldn't escape his feelings for Jia's family. He was even a little cowardly and procrastinating. But maybe he was just a kind-hearted ordinary person. He tried his best and everyone had a better ending. It was his dream of Red Mansions...
I think Baochai's psychological description in this chapter is very similar to Baochai's psychological activities in the original work. Baochai is not bad, but his jealousy of Daiyu is also true!
In fact, I was still waiting for the author to give me some sweets, but it suddenly ended like this. It seemed like everything had been explained, but it also seemed like nothing had been explained. Something was missing.
I feel like the male protagonist is so contradictory. Call him incompetent. He has changed the fate of many people. Call him capable, but he failed to change his father's fate. He also has no courage to make progress. He doesn't say anything and he suffers. It's a bit pitiful. Alas.
He's not a coward, he's a yandere. It's a pity that Miss Lin doesn't know this word.
Finally I feel that the male protagonist is not pitiable! With all the fuss, it seems that the male protagonist is suffering too much, and it will be different with Daiyu!
Both of us feel lonely, when can we talk to each other?
