The Great Villain of the Dream of the Red Chamber

The Jia family may be false, but its halls are built of white jade and its horses are made of gold.

After his soul transmigrated into Jia Yu, a collateral descendant of the Jia family in Dream of the Red Chamber, he found himself with a Treacherous Official System from the start. But activating the System required him to enter government service, something Jia Yu had never wanted to do and had no intention of pursuing.

Knowing how the Jia family would end up in the original story, Jia Yu wanted nothing to do with the Rongguo or Ningguo Mansions. He was content to spend the rest of his life with a wife and children at home. But Heaven played a joke on him: he was betrothed to Qin Keqing, the most beautiful woman in Dream of the Red Chamber.

He'd planned to call off the engagement and find an ordinary-looking woman to share the rest of his life with. But Jia Zhen used his power to force his steward Lai Er to break down the door in the middle of the night, injuring Jia Yu's mother.

And so, a great treacherous official was driven into being.
