The Charismatic Concubine’s Son of the Red Chamber

Ye Qing's self-narration: I am an inconspicuous person living in modern society, with an ordinary wife and a child. Suddenly one day I traveled through time and transformed into a girl. I found that I was still a child in a big family in ancient times. I thought that in the future I could only marry when I reach my age, but suddenly one day I discovered that this is actually the world of Dream of Red Mansions, hahaha God help me, I have watched Dream of Red Mansions no less than 10 times. I want to cause trouble, I want to be the emperor, and I want to build a big harem. But what the hell is this Jia Cong who appears out of nowhere? Slowly I discovered that he was also a time traveler. I have to hide myself so that he doesn't discover my true identity, get closer to him slowly, use him, instigate him to rebel, or at worst sell my body, become his main palace first, then kill him when the time comes, pick peaches and become the queen directly, his harem will take advantage of me, I'm so smart.

I have only read the first two hundred and twenty chapters. I have never read a book so slowly at the starting point. It took me three days to read this small part. Not to mention the characterization of the characters in the book, the author's control of the rhythm alone is impressive. The book is not a brain that exposes all the background foreshadowing, but like a gurgling stream of water. It's so eloquent that it's very comfortable to read. The purpose of writing a book is to have a balance between hardness and softness. It's unreal to be tough all the way to the end. It's written like a running account. It's also the first time I've read a Red Mansions novel for so long. To be honest, I'm from the Northeast, and I'm somewhat of a northern chauvinist. Prejudice, as the saying goes, I am a straight man. I have never seen Dream of Red Mansions before. I feel that it is not as good as Three Kingdoms, not as good as Water Margin, not as good as Journey to the West to Conquer Demons and the Righteous Path. I just wanted to find an aesthetic novel after work to relieve my boredom. I didn't expect to see The New World. The character portrayal, analysis, and plot foreshadowing are all wonderful. Maybe I'm short-sighted. I haven't read any other books in Red Mansions. It's an aesthetic novel. But just speaking of the ones I've read, the writing style of this book is not inferior to that of The Butcher of the Song Dynasty. The plot trend is indeed more ups and downs than The Butcher of the Song Dynasty. Of course, that's not to say that the other book is worse. The book of The Song Dynasty is more like home. National sentiments, fighting in battle, and passionate men are different from the purpose of Red Mansions. Most of the authors who write fan fiction of classics will also write their own opinions. It can be seen that the author has carefully analyzed Red Mansions. Unlike the characters of the Three Kingdoms, they have already been determined at the starting point. Most of them are like that, Water Margin fan fiction. Nowadays, most of them are similar to The Butcher of the Song Dynasty. It can be seen that the author inevitably neglected the characterization of the characters while laying out the plot. I wrote wherever I thought. The author did not change a single bit of Red Mansions but turned a desolate and heartless book into a refreshing article. It just made me feel like, if I really traveled through time, It is precisely the feeling of such a scene and the various forms of living beings in Dream of Red Mansions that the author really imitated. This is the most difficult part. I have never written a book, but I have written high school compositions. I also know the difficulty of characterization. The newly added main characters are not portrayed as the original ones, such as Ye The young master and the great scholar of the Song Dynasty are all rare talents in the author's writing. This barely outlines the dynasty changes outside the Jia family, and it also highlights the decline of the Rongguo family. After reading this, I feel that although the story line of the Tian family is a bit ridiculous, it is still a good book so far. The protagonist's life experience is even more wonderful. It is said that no book can be written without coincidence, but the protagonist's life experience is really coincidental. The descendants of the previous dynasty are his mother, and the abandoned prince of the current dynasty is his father. However, in the Jia family, he is regarded as a prostitute and is not allowed to see him. It has to make people sigh and look forward to what will happen when his life experience is revealed. I have written so much here and there in order to express my feelings in order to avoid having a bad night's sleep. Haha, if you want to read it or not, you can save yourself the trouble of criticizing me. The book is a good book, and the strategies are also good strategies, but it lacks a strong air. I hope to give more roles to the military in the future. I don't know what the follow-up will be, so I will read the book.

​ ​Thanks to the author for his careful creation and bringing a good reading experience to us readers. Today, when Internet literature is gradually saturated, Internet literature has gradually become a pool of stagnant water. However, I saw a "retro" atmosphere in this novel. Since the development of online novels, a new subject will appear every once in a while, driving a new wave. Martial arts, fairy tales, fantasy, fantasy, history, urban... Each of them was once popular on the Internet, and even dominated online literature. The author wants to write and the readers want to read. Today, almost no new themes have emerged, so some people think that online literature is about to decline, but I don't think so. I think online literature has always been like this. The popularity of every genre is because the author of the work is an excellent author. There are always only bad authors, not bad subjects. For a composition, some people can get seventy points, while some people can only get forty points. The same subject matter and the same events, some make readers feel comfortable and some make them feel uncomfortable. So the decline of the subject matter is because there are no writers who can hold the title anymore, and there are no works that can spark heated discussions again. What does a good writer need? The writing, the imagination, the passion. Writing style is not about gorgeous words. It is the portrayal of characters, the grasp of the development of things, and the description of the environment. This is part of the reason why Dream of Red Mansions can be hailed as the first masterpiece, and this book happens to inherit part of it. There is no discussion, only natural plot development. It does not tell the reader what to do at this moment, but the reader lets the reader feel how he feels after reading it. Imagination is the ability to construct plots and backgrounds. Stories are always the core of novels. The author may be a little weaker in this aspect. After all, he is not a professional and it is difficult to imagine what it would have been like at that time. The most obvious thing is the description of the Jin Yiwei who went south. The author's strategy seems a bit intellectual. However, this does not affect the reading experience. As long as you are not familiar with history, you can accept it, because the author's good writing style saved him. Perhaps the author also knows that these strategies are not very good, so he deliberately reduced the pen and ink when describing it, but made the plot less dry through some other events. This is the quality of a good writer. Of course, the author may not realize it himself, but almost 80% of authors don't know the detailed advantages of their works. Because this is all determined by literary literacy. A sentence may seem ordinary to you, but some people may find it very reasonable and innovative. The original intention may just be to make the work richer, but unexpectedly the strengths are used to offset the weaknesses.                                                                                                                                                                                More than half of the reason for Kavin comes from the incompatibility between the author's mentality and the work. Those who write humorous articles are in a bad mood and cannot write good jokes, so it becomes difficult for them to write. The work "The Wind Blowing Cool Outside the House" is one of the few excellent works I have published on the Internet in recent years. In my mind, it is no worse than the works of those platinum writers. It has gradually moved closer to traditional literature, because the author writes the work with a creative mentality, and his own excellent writing style makes this work much more mature than the previous books. I read half of the last book, but I couldn't insist on it. I'm sorry, although I know it's good, but because I read this one first, the shortcomings of that one are obvious. The characterization is a bit stiff, and the handling of emotional scenes can even be called rough. This is not because of the author himself, but because most of the works on the Internet are written in this way. The original intention of online literature is to provide others with a platform to express their feelings and a stage for eclectic imagination. For example, "Zhu Xian" would be difficult to publish if it were traditional literature, because the cost of publishing it is too high, and the writer himself cannot predict the future, so he will not create it. In fact, if you think about it carefully, those writers who became famous on the Internet are gradually moving closer to the traditional literary world. It is not that traditional literature is so noble, but that the readers themselves are moving towards tradition. Online novels were good at first, but the more I read them, the more I liked those works that the authors carefully created. One of the characteristics of traditional literature is that those works entrust the author's thoughts. It's not the so-called society, boring or anything like that. Therefore, traditional literature is constantly changing, but only one core remains unchanged, which is the author's thoughts. Online literature pays more attention to the smoothness of the text and the readability of the story. This is an advantage, but the author must be careful when writing. This is tradition. You may not gain much from reading a book of online literature, but you need to let others feel that this is a work, not just an online novel. From this point of view, the four major classics can also be called "online novels". They did not convey value through discussion, but just told stories. Many of the meanings were added by later generations. The authors themselves must have had the intention, because that was their reason for writing the book, but it was certainly not that much, and perhaps not that noble. It's easy to tell whether a work is created with care. Good work may not be created if you put your heart into it, and it will definitely not work if you don't. I think the most taboo thing in a novel is the word "discussion". This is a common problem in novels. No matter what you do, you always have to say it through the mouth of the protagonist, and express it through the character's thoughts. It may not matter when you first read it, but it will be very depressing after reading too much. This is why people pay so much attention to expression description. Psychological description is the psychology of the character, not the psychology of the author. Always remind readers by telling them simply and straightforwardly. So I am really happy to come across this book, which has the readability of online novels and the rigor of traditional literature. Nowadays, most online novels are popular because of their novel themes. If you don't believe it, read it for yourself. No popular novel can last more than a year, because apart from the story, there is no readability. Nowadays, there are very few online novels that can be called classics, and they are still supported by a group of veteran writers. The subject matter is not the most important, but whether it can support the story is important. I have said so many digressions because I think the author can continue writing, and at the same time, I hope that the author can continue to inherit the advantages of this book. The purpose of a novel is to control the reader's emotions through characters and stories, but not to allow the reader to discover anything or anything unexpected. In that case, the author has lost. The reason why I say so much is because I found that the author's recent descriptions are really amazing to me. I didn't feel it at first, but now the writing style really has the flavor of a writer, and it is more and more like a Dream of Red Mansions. I hope the author can work hard, and I hope the author can continue. Thank you to the author for bringing us an excellent work. Thank you. PS: Has the author thought about the theme of his next book? I think your book has almost written Red Mansions well enough... At the same time, I would like to mention some of the shortcomings of the author that I think are not listed above because I don't want to damage his integrity. At the same time, they are not shortcomings. They are just personal disdain.                                                               but Wu Liang's handling of the emotional drama between the protagonist and the heroine was not very good in the last book, and this one is not very good at the beginning, but it is very good later on. The most fearful thing about feelings is abruptness and boredom. The previous book was really boring, so be aware that it's better to do more than you can do. Secondly, Wuliang, your ability to write stories needs to be strengthened. Although it is interesting to read, it also blocks your path to becoming a god. But take your time. I would rather you never become a god than give up what you are good at for the sake of stories.         ，

Lin Daiyu/Xue Baochai: It's a pity that the virtue of stopping is pity for Yongxu's talent. Jade belts hang in the forest, gold hairpins are buried in the snow. Qin Keqing: Love in the sky, love in the sea, and love in the body are illusory. When love meets, it will lead to lust. It's honor to speak unkindly, but it's really peaceful to start a fight.

The east wind thousands of miles away is just a dream away. Jia Yuanchun: Twenty years of distinguishing between right and wrong, the pomegranate blossoms illuminate the palace. The three springs are competing for the first spring scene, and the tiger and the tiger meet and return to the big dream. Shi Xiangyun: What's the point of wealth and honor?

Occasionally, I met a benefactor due to the help of the Liu family.

Why do I have this question? Because I feel like this book has a female flavor from beginning to end, especially the setting of the protagonist's life experience. The following contains serious spoilers, read with caution! The protagonist is Jia Zong, and the current background setting is that his mother, an oiran, died young. His father, Jia She, treated the protagonist very badly for some reason and wanted to beat him to death. In short, the protagonist is very miserable. The first 100 or so chapters basically show how miserable the protagonist is and how he struggles to survive. To be honest, it feels like a bit of abuse. But the writing is indeed pretty good But at the end of the writing, the protagonist's life experience has a big secret. Her mother is a princess of the former dynasty, and her father is a powerful prince. Here comes the key point. In terms of setting, the biological father of the protagonist was the most powerful person during the mutiny. The kind who directly led his troops into the palace and could immediately take the throne if he wanted to. But because he thought that the protagonist's mother was dead, he was so frustrated that he finally gave up the throne that was within his reach. After choosing to vent his anger on a killing spree, he imprisoned himself. (This plot setting is really full of female characters. Especially when the protagonist's life experience is compared with the protagonist's current situation, this conflict becomes more obvious.) This is one of the reasons why I suspect that the author is a woman. The second reason is that this book is full of intrigues between women, which are not as direct as those of ordinary men. It's a kind of pleasure similar to self-abuse. I have read a Red Mansion fanfic before, by Regan. The focus of his plot is how the protagonist climbs from bottom to top step by step. Although there is also a plot between the harem, it is a supplement. The female characters and the harem are more displayed as fun points, and the focus is still on the improvement of their own rights and power. To describe it in one sentence, he wakes up and holds the power of the world, but he lies drunk in the lap of a beautiful woman! But in this book, I feel that the main plot is about falling in love, which also promotes the plot. And in the early stage, most of the cool display methods were through how the protagonist was hurt, and then the protagonist tried to find a way to make a misfortune. The onlookers looked at it and thought, Oh my God, how could you do this? So people like Jia Mu felt guilty and temporarily helped the male protagonist for the sake of their own reputation. This kind of cool thing is not like that of a boy. If you look down upon me today, I will make you unable to reach your level tomorrow. It's the way girls force the other person to feel guilty by showing how powerful I am but how unreasonable and unfair the treatment is, making you feel that you are sorry for me and you shouldn't treat me like this. The only most enjoyable part is probably the part where the protagonists design Jia She and Mrs. Xing. But later on, there was a plot where Wang Xifeng felt offended by the protagonist and had a conflict of interest, so he began to design and suppress the protagonist to get rid of him. And it has already begun to hurt the protagonist, and the protagonist also begins to fight back, and then takes down Wang Xifeng first, but he refuses to kill him. In the end, he had to come forward to save Wang Xifeng. The reason given is that the protagonist's refusal to save him will affect other people's opinions of him, and the so-called method of maximizing interests. What else is there? Wang Xifeng is actually just suppressing the protagonist, and does not really want to get rid of the protagonist, so the protagonist cannot go so far. Hehe. I understand that Wang Xifeng cannot be written off. After all, one of the important protagonists of Red Mansion is dead. What will happen if you kill him? But this plot conflict setting is really petty. It is not as generous, direct and enjoyable as the cool point conflict designed for men.

Jia is always a warm man. Get up in the morning, let my concubine continue to sleep, tuck in the quilt, and get dressed yourself. Not picky about food. When making love, it's one-on-one, and you don't need a maid to help you, or a maid to fetch water for cleaning. When taking a shower, do not push or rub your back with the maid. Don't ride in a sedan when you go out riding a horse. The modern concept of equality for all. Equality between wives and concubines, equal exposure to rain and dew, impartiality... When will these bad habits be changed? We want to see the corrupt life of the ancient great masters! In all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, I beg you, dirty mother, to help you!

I am happy to have a difficult life and struggle to catch the first cry of the phoenix. I am surprised to ride a white horse in Wujiang and ride on a hidden dragon. I admire both civil and military officials and finally return to my heart with a gold hairpin. I lament the ups and downs of the concubine of the Jia family and his romantic life.

A Qingwen held her to the sky and quarreled with Daiyu every day. I scolded and cried Daiyu several times, but nothing happened. He even called the royal family shameless and so on. Anyway, the male protagonist loves and spoils her. I can't stand it anymore.

The previous episode was too cruel. When someone is angry, his liver hurts and his head hurts. He finally freed himself from Dongkuayuan, and was abused by Mrs. Shi in all kinds of ways. He scolded the protagonist when nothing happened, and even scolded the protagonist when something happened. After all, he is a time traveler, so why can't he be tougher and use some tricks? If you can't find a reason to hide, let's see what they do. Keep talking about filial piety, why not poke a few soft nails into her? Fuck, I'm a bitch too. I was so angry when I saw it, but I wanted to continue reading. Fuck.

This is the most uncomfortable Red Mansions novel I have ever read. The characters in it are all pretentious. Some conflicts are obviously avoidable, but they are intensified. It gave me a headache. The relationship between some characters and the protagonist is also very confusing, like Sister Feng. At first, she felt that the protagonist's life was too tough and it was better not to mess with it. Later, she suddenly started to fight for death, and it was the kind of death in other novels, but she still survived. After that, it was as if the previous things had not happened, and the same goes for the protagonist.
