[Dream of the Red Chamber] She's Still Just a Child

January 2, 2026: This story is nearing its end. My next story is [Dream of the Red Chamber] The Imperial Preceptor Is Here, a romance about Lin Daiyu.

Before Lin Ruhai died, he finally found his biological younger brother, who had been missing for many years, and entrusted his only daughter, Daiyu, to his brother's family.

To care for the last remnant of his elder brother's family, Lin's younger brother tearfully (not really) sent his own young daughter, Lin Wanxin, to the Rongguo Mansion, with countless valuables and silver to support her.

Looking at her little sister, who was as round as a dumpling, Lin Daiyu's heart melted. She had to be more assertive, or her sister would end up being bullied along with her.

Jia Baoyu: My jade is missing! My jade, my jade!

Xiren: The Second Master just went to Miss Lin's place.

Granny Jia: My dear, hurry and hand over your brother's jade. Don't make me angry.

Lin Daiyu: You believe him just because he says so? What would I want his jade for?

Lin Wanxin: I picked up a stone on the road. Could it really be your jade? Young man, tell me, did you lose this priceless Hetian jade, this flawless white mutton-fat jade, or this dirty stone that nobody would bother picking up even if it were lying in the road?

Lin Wanxin soon became the terror of the Rongguo Mansion. But to Lin Daiyu, she was just a little girl. She's still a child. Why are you all making such a fuss over her?

Everyone in the Jia household: Whose child is as obnoxious as she is?

Reader's Guide:

1. An alternate-history setting with original elements, told mainly from an all-around observer's perspective.

2. The protagonist has no romantic pairing. Daiyu can also be considered unpaired. The focus is on girls striving to stand on their own.

A few upcoming stories I'd especially like to recommend:

1. [Dream of the Red Chamber] The Imperial Preceptor Is Here: A Dream of the Red Chamber romance with a female lead.

2. Transmigrate into Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio to Seek Justice for the People: A Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio fan fiction with a male lead.

3. The Internet's Number One Good Samaritan: A modern fantasy with a male lead.

Theme: Daughters should strive to stand on their own.
