You're just writing nonsense.
The Jia family's property was confiscated, yet Jia Baoyu was unharmed and still became a monk. Jia Zong is a nobody, so he won't get into any trouble. But you, by creating a fake identity to become an official, are just asking for death.
It's fine if the author doesn't consider *Dream of the Red Chamber* when writing the book, or even just uses its name, but the premise of this text is problematic! Whether in ancient or modern times, if a family commits a crime, the family members will be affected, especially in ancient times. How could family members of high-ranking officials escape unscathed after their property was confiscated?
Well written. There are just some logical fallacies.
Your storytelling is quite good, refreshing. However, your logic is flawed. First, you were a civil servant in your past life; everyone understands the workings of government offices. Trying to save your life as a low-ranking official? Are you kidding me? The Jia family's property was confiscated by both the Ning and Rong mansions.
The nominal head of the Rongguo Mansion was Jia She. As an illegitimate son, being convicted, having his property confiscated, and stripped of his title was inevitable; exile was certain. Jia Zheng acted entirely in the name of the Rongguo Mansion, which is why the second branch of the family was able to escape.
They even set up a gossip network? Are you crazy? Could the author create such an organization without some powerful backing? What was the author thinking?
When the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact? You can choose to be a quiet spectator, but if you are the protagonist in the story and do not strive to break free from your shackles, then becoming a monk like Jia Baoyu is the best outcome.
Finally, a book with Xue Baochai as the female lead! To be honest, I really dislike books with Lin Daiyu as the female lead; Lin Daiyu's personality...
Like a wish-fulfillment novel, he's a nobody at the very bottom of society. Everyone gives him face. I thought you were Shanks, that you ate the Face-Given Fruit.
Is this the level of intelligence of modern civil servants?
What's the point of just making up an identity?
