For those reborn into the Jia family of *Dream of the Red Chamber*, only those of similar age to Jia She and Jia Zheng can benefit from studying. If you are of similar age or younger than Jia Baoyu or Jia Rong, studying won't save you; joining the army is the only way out. Studying requires prioritizing reputation; you'll struggle to get past Lady Wang and Old Madam Jia.
Severe abuse of the master
The last twenty or thirty chapters are just forced torture for the protagonist, purely for the sake of torture, completely illogical, with characters severely lacking intelligence, and conflict points artificially created. Is this some kind of reader selection tactic? Goodbye!
After reading 15 chapters, I realize that a transmigrator without any cheat abilities is nothing more than a dog!
The term "parallel wife" is essentially the same as "concubine." It would be better to find a reason to have another wife inherit the family line, so there's no conflict with the original wife, and the other wife is still considered a wife. "Parallel wife" is just a euphemism; she's still just a concubine.
Well, this story is best read without thinking. First, the depiction of the ancient imperial examination system is a complete mess. Second, it suffers from a common flaw: the world of *Dream of the Red Chamber* is set in the Ming and Qing dynasties, a clan-based society that is essentially a cannibalistic system.
The male protagonist has such a close relationship with Prince Qing, so why does everyone in the Jia family still dare to bully him? Why does he live such a miserable life? This doesn't make sense. In the original Dream of the Red Chamber, when a prince's subordinate came to ask Jia Zheng for an actress the prince liked, Jia Zheng was terrified, fearing he would offend the prince, and almost beat…
While it's common for fanfiction of *Dream of the Red Chamber* to criticize the Jia family, the idea of someone being expelled from the Jia family genealogy and then portrayed as living a carefree and unrestrained life is really a bit toxic. The power of patriarchal clan rules in that era was so easily dismissed; a prince doing absolutely nothing while the protagonist is treated like a devoted, devoted nanny is just too jarring.
Did the author even have an outline? It's purely written to disgust people; the more disgusting, the better.
For members of noble families, studying will never lead to advancement. The noble class won't recognize you, and neither will the civil service. Even Lin Ruhai, who married Jia Min and died in Yangzhou, was ignored by the civil officials; his death was in vain.
Jia Cong and Yuan Chun were the same age? Could that be any more outrageous?
