The Son of Heaven of the Red Chamber

I don't know what the author was thinking. Wouldn't Jia Baoyu really become the emperor's brother-in-law? The Jia family, the harem, is full of rubbish, isn't it disgusting to watch? And then there's Jia Zheng, who occupies the main hall under the guise of filial piety. If this were in ancient times, wouldn't the censors and officials be furious?

Although Jia Yuanchun was the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the family, in ancient times only the eldest branch was the head of the household; the second branch was merely a minor lineage, destined to separate sooner or later, and hardly considered noble. Jia Zheng, as the son of the second branch, held no title, and his official position was only a minor fifth-rank official.

Finally, we get to see an emperor in *Dream of the Red Chamber*! Come on, I want to see rivers of blood! 😏

Brothers, do you have any other historical novel recommendations? Something with a smart protagonist. I'm itching to read something new after finishing my current one. Any good adaptations of *Dream of the Red Chamber*?

There are always discussions about which emperor in history was the best or worst. But if we're talking about which emperor had the most carefree life, without a doubt, it's Qianlong. He faced no major external threats, had no internal constraints, was in his prime, held immense power, had a full treasury, and was himself not too badly off—he truly had it all.

First of all, I've never been an author before, but I want to say, is it really that hard to write 100 chapters a day? I'm not being unreasonable, after all, as I said at the beginning, I've never been an author before.

Now that he's the emperor, who cares about those people in the Dream of the Red Chamber? He should hurry up and expand the Han cultural sphere! He has to do something, whether it's civil administration or military achievements, cultural export or military export, right? For the emperor, there are countless people like Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai in the whole world, and it's easy to find a few. There are at least dozens of capable people like Consort Yuan Chun in the harem.

Currently, Lin Daiyu is the most suitable candidate for Empress. She comes from a good family, can show her allegiance to civil officials, is romantically inclined, and will be devoted solely to the protagonist. She's unlikely to betray him and has little ambition; she seeks only a lifelong, monogamous relationship.

We're all tired of the same few heroines in current Dream of the Red Chamber novels. If you're so capable, write one with Granny Liu as the heroine.

I can't wait to see the plot unfold where the protagonist and the princes born to women from the four great families—Yuan Chun, Wang Xifeng, Xiangyun, and Baochai—vie for the throne.
