You're making Daiyu, such a jealous and petty, tragic girl, empress? Do you want the dynasty to last only a lifetime?
This is a very awkward book to read, especially the characterization of the protagonist. I've read quite a few Dream of the Red Chamber novels, and some protagonists have done even more outrageous things than the one in this book, but none of them made me feel as disgusted as the protagonist in this book. It's really the disgust that gradually builds up from one small thing after another.
I urge you to finish writing the side story of Prince Xiang in Dream of the Red Chamber.
Would you accept Baoyu's offer? I feel like it would be really enjoyable to do it from behind. We could even have some romantic chatter and lighthearted moments afterwards.
So far, the book is well-written overall, except for the poor combat descriptions. The protagonist's ability to slice people to pieces is a bit exaggerated. Why not kill them with a single blow? Slicing them to pieces requires at least two blows, which is time-consuming, laborious, and could easily break the sword. It gives the impression that the protagonist isn't a martial arts master, but rather a brute with immense strength but no fighting skills or rationality.
My personal suggestion is that since you're not going to join the Jia family, you should write some original characters. Most of the popular novels of *Dream of the Red Chamber* have original female leads to enrich the plot. Don't limit yourself to the Jia family, otherwise it might seem like you're just being a simp. After all, if you can't write courtyard scenes, broaden your horizons and learn from other interesting figures.
The pacing is too slow; the more I watch, the more it resembles a female-oriented novel.
Daiyu could be the principal wife. As the daughter of a merchant, Baochai would be considered above her station as a concubine unless a high-ranking official adopted her as a goddaughter.
Yuan Chun, Ying Chun, and Tan Chun are all present, so why is Xi Chun missing?
It's well-written, but the cheat codes aren't enough. Just having high combat power isn't enough to be a match for ten thousand men; with that kind of strength, even self-defense would be difficult.
