[Dream of the Red Chamber] Xueyan the Maid's Daily Grind

After Yin Xue died from overwork, she opened her eyes to find herself transmigrated into Dream of the Red Chamber as the maid Xue Yan. At the time, six-year-old Lin Daiyu had lost her mother and left her home and father behind. On the boat, she wiped away her tears by candlelight. The river stretching beyond the window showed they were headed for the Rongguo Mansion in the capital. [Ding ding! Welcome to the Dream of the Red Chamber Check-In System.] Yin Xue was still reeling from transmigrating into a classic novel when she suddenly heard the System's voice. It made her feel even more as if she were dreaming. [Host, your lifespan has run out. You must complete the System's missions to earn more life points. Please do your best to check in!] [Lin Daiyu of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling discovered. Check-in successful. One year of life awarded.] Yin Xue: "..." She'd been a wage slave in her previous life, and after finally transmigrating, she was still a maid. She really was born to work! But better to live miserably than die, right? What else could she do? Besides, she was a die-hard Dream of the Red Chamber fan, and a huge admirer of Daiyu! - At first, Yin Xue thought this check-in System was a good-for-nothing. Apart from giving her check-in missions to complete in exchange for more life, it was useless. But later, she discovered that the System was actually pretty useful. For example: [Ding ding! Soul-Communicating Jade check-in successful. Earned a lucky aura that wards off evil and disaster.] [Ding ding! Cold Fragrance Pill check-in successful. Earned a talent for perfumery.] [Ding ding! Golden Unicorn check-in successful. Earned a wealth aura.] Reader's Guide: 1. The first half of the story takes place mostly in the Rongguo Mansion and follows the daily life of a maid. 2. Baoyu and Daiyu won't end up together, but Baoyu won't be vilified. 3.

When he calculated her birth chart and destiny, he said that at age twenty-four, Tan Lang transforming into Ji would clash with her Palace of Health and bring a fatal calamity. But her major star was Ziwei, which could turn danger into safety. With Di Jie and Di Kong in her Palace of Travel, it signified breaking through boundaries and being reborn, perhaps offering a chance at survival. Sure enough, just after her twenty-fourth birthday, Qin Huaiyu woke up to find she had become Miaoyu, the aloof and solitary nun from Dream of the Red Chamber. Qin Huaiyu: "..." So this is what breaking through boundaries and being reborn means? Qin Huaiyu was a Dream of the Red Chamber enthusiast who had inherited her grandfather's craft and was something of a fortune teller herself. She had planned to use her old skills to change Lin Daiyu's fate, but was afraid she couldn't measure up to the local Taoist practitioners. After all, she didn't know how to command the Five Ghosts to harm people. [Congratulations on binding to the Dream of the Red Chamber Cultivation System. The following missions are now available. Complete them to earn points.] [Mission One: Earn Lin Daiyu's favor. Reward: 200 points.] [Mission Two: Earn Jia Baoyu's favor. Reward: 200 points.] [Mission Three: Observe the Soul-Communicating Jade at close range. Reward: 200 points.] [Points can be exchanged for anything you want.] Qin Huaiyu gazed at the countless elixirs, talismans, cultivation manuals, magical artifacts, rare treasures, and more, and swallowed hard. Unfortunately, completing missions was easy, but cultivation was hard. She diligently completed her missions through her own efforts, establishing herself in the Jia household as a true master of the Dao. Before she could exchange her points for manuals and begin cultivating... Rumors spread throughout the capital that she could foresee the future, predict fortune and disaster, bring the dead back to life, restore flesh to bones, exorcise demons, slay monsters, and do anything at all! Before long, countless noble families sent invitations asking her to visit, for reasons such as: Their young relatives had been bewitched by a demon, so they asked her to come exorcise it. One disaster after another had befallen their clan, and they suspected a curse, so they asked her to dispel the evil. A deserted manor was haunted, with a woman and baby heard crying at night, so they asked her to capture the ghost and protect the house... As Qin Huaiyu exorcised ghosts and hunted demons, she gradually uncovered the System's secrets, and began her path from ordinary mortal to cultivator. At the same time, the rumors proved true, and her fame soared! The Four Kings and Eight Dukes, along with noble lords and distinguished families, competed to honor her as their esteemed guest. The Emperor even bestowed upon her the title of Immortal of Yuxu! Qin Huaiyu then rose all the way to become the Imperial Preceptor, and the fates of the women of Dream of the Red Chamber were rewritten under her influence. Theme: Defy fate and change your destiny. Anything is possible.
