Dream of the Red Chamber: Mending the Heavens

Mend the heavens? If your plot doesn't involve the sacrifice of Baoyu, it wouldn't do justice to the title you gave it.

Was the imperial examination really that easy? I've read so many stories about people achieving the highest honors in all three levels of the imperial examinations, or becoming the third or second-highest scorer.

The storyline is mediocre; I picked it up several times, but ultimately couldn't get into it.

This interpretation of Li Si's passage about rats is somewhat incorrect. His intended point was the influence of environment on people. The same rat will behave differently in different environments. Just like a person's talent, it can only be fully realized in the right context.

Now that Jia Zhu has just passed away, is Qin Keqing still single? Do you have any thoughts about her?

Mend the heavens, stop the collapse of the world?

Should this book be used for the imperial examinations or for military service?
