Dream of the Red Chamber: My Fate Is Mine to Decide

Who says repaying a debt of gratitude must end in tears and death? Who says everything is ordained by Heaven...? All I know is that we hold our own fates in our hands, and we must strive for our own happiness. What is mine, I will never hand over to anyone; what is mine, I will never let go of easily... A daughter of the Lin family will never show weakness in front of others. A different Dream of the Red Chamber, a different Daiyu... Since fate brought us together in a past life, I won't let this chance pass us by in this one. Since there is a place for me alone in his heart, I will never back down easily. Daiyu: If you dare to love, then I dare to marry you! Even if marriage is arranged by one's parents and matchmakers, what could be greater than a match decreed by Heaven? What nonsense about a golden-and-jade match? Hmph! It's obviously a scheme cooked up by people. Hmph, what a ridiculous joke. The Lin family has been a family of scholars for generations, noble and distinguished. A daughter of the Lin family will never become anyone's concubine. Baoyu: What golden-and-jade match? I only believe in the wood-and-stone union! One is a celestial flower in the Land of Illusion, the other a flawless piece of jade. One is the reincarnation of Crimson Pearl Grass; the other was once the Divine Attendant Shenying from the Upper Realm. By the Three-Lives Stone, their fate was sealed for three lifetimes...
