[Dream of the Red Chamber] Powerful Official

In his previous life, Jia Chen crossed the single-plank bridge amid a vast crowd of competitors and endured trial after trial. At last, he passed the civil service exam, just as he’d always hoped.

His superior said he was born for this line of work.

His colleagues said it was only natural for a hard-working overachiever like him to succeed.

And indeed, he succeeded.

But he never expected that while he was still keeping his head down and diligently serving the people, his family of foolish relatives would get carried away first. In the blink of an eye, they dragged him down with them, and he ended up behind bars.

Where was the justice in that?

Jia Chen was so furious that he spat blood and died on the spot.

When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn.

“I! Want! To! Study!” Five-month-old Jia Chen spoke the first words of this life.

So what if the mansion is on the verge of collapse? So what if the entire Rongguo household is full of fools?

The Jia Chen of the past is dead. Now he is Niu Hulu Jia Chen!

Anyone who tries to hold him back will get run over!

All you fools, go! Die!

Important notes: 1. The female lead is Lin Daiyu. The male lead has a special backstory, so they are not related by blood! Not at all!! 2. This is not set in the original world; it’s entirely fictional!!! 3. The second branch of the family and Grandmother Jia are bashed, so stay away if that bothers you. 4. The golden finger is extremely overpowered. This is purely a bedtime story to relieve stress, so please don’t nitpick the details. My deepest thanks!
