A Journey Through the Classics, Starting with Dream of the Red Chamber

If I were the protagonist of this book, I would find a way to confiscate the property of the Jia family. Don't talk to me about Daiyu and Baochai; do you really think that such a vast dynasty couldn't find a woman who was both well-educated and beautiful?

As for classic works... *Plum in a Vase is quite famous, right? 😏😏😏

This male lead falls in love with every woman he meets... And even Lin Daiyu's personality is so extreme that he's going crazy taking concubines for him... I feel like the character is completely out of character.

Is being a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard so easy? On one hand, you offend the ministers... On the other hand, the protagonist is the son of a local warlord who controls an intelligence agency; how could he not be suspected by the emperor? It's a thankless and exhausting task. It would be better to let the protagonist live a carefree life in the capital and then take over his father's job.

Daiyu was teased by Baoyu countless times, but the male lead never uttered a sound. He was clearly a submissive, especially in that feudal society. He didn't even punish the Rongguo Mansion, making him a prince's heir, practically glowing with envy.

The premise is similar to having a serious illness: the son of a prince controls a secret service agency. What kind of emperor would be so brain-dead as to agree to let someone of such status control his lifeline? Are you the reincarnation of Sima Dezong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?

That year, Tang Xuanzang met Lin Daiyu in the Grand View Garden. That year, Jia Baoyu fought a great battle against Lü Bu at Hulao Pass. That year, Cao Mengde swore brotherhood with Sun Erniang at Liangshan Marsh. That year, Zhen Guanxi slaughtered a talking pig. That year, Li Jing named his fourth son Li Gongcai. That year, Wang Ziteng berated Wang Jingxing for being ungrateful.

The most disgusting thing about *Dream of the Red Chamber* and its fanfiction is that it portrays all the men of the Jia family as deserving of death, while the women are all pitiful and deserving of being saved. While the men of the Jia family are certainly not good people, regardless of gender, they all spend their days composing poetry and indulging in leisure.

The idea that the emperor would order the protagonist to rebuild the Embroidered Uniform Guard is absurd. First of all, there's the Embroidered Uniform Guard, a secret service agency. Regardless of whether the old emperor or the former crown prince won, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was needed to monitor all officials; it couldn't have just rotted away like that for over a decade.

Lin Daiyu is portrayed too perfectly, it feels like an unnecessary addition to her story. How could Lin Daiyu be so kind-hearted as to actively help the three sisters find husbands? In the original novel, did Lin Daiyu actively show kindness to anyone? Calling Granny Liu a "mother locust" was a bit sarcastic. But in your version, Lin Daiyu becomes just a plot device?
