A Dream of Red Mansions
It's tough, tough, tough. Hong Lou stories have their own tag now, but completed ones are rare, and truly excellent ones are rarer still. Here's a collection of the Hong Lou stories I've read and been able to get into.

I hope the protagonist in this book is more normal. A common problem with Dream of the Red Chamber novels is that no matter how high the protagonist's status or how important his official position, once he enters the Rongguo Mansion, he has to act as a dutiful grandson to Old Madam Jia and treat Jia Baoyu and his three sisters as brothers and sisters. It's simply unbearable to watch.
Lin Daiyu is the least suitable wife in *Dream of the Red Chamber*. In the original novel, she is constantly on her own medication and has a sensitive nature. If she stops taking her medication, coupled with her sensitive personality, something bad will happen to her before long. Furthermore, the Lin Ruhai lineage has always had difficulty producing offspring, with only one son in the family, making her an unsuitable wife.
Looking forward to the author's 8000 daily updates.
1. I've read a lot of Dream of the Red Chamber fanfiction, most of which start from the Jia family, and basically every man in the Jia family has been sexually assaulted. To be honest, I'm already tired of that. This one, with its protagonist being a commoner prince, is very appealing to me; it's refreshing. 2. Many protagonists either take the imperial examinations or rise through military merit.
You can also accept Aunt Xue; if you accept Aunt Xue, you can have all the monthly tickets. 😁
Xue Baochai, one of the Twelve Beauties
There was another woman, two years younger than Xue Pan, whose childhood name was Baochai. She was beautiful and graceful. When her father was alive, he doted on this girl and made her read and write, and she became ten times better than her brother.
I prefer the more domineering male lead in Dream of the Red Chamber. It's not that I can't be gentle with Jinchai, but other books portray him as too much of a simp. Even though the protagonist has been made a king or marquis, he still grants Jinchai's every wish. Even some maids take advantage of him. When you write a romance, you can't just have the male lead make all the sacrifices, ignoring the difference in status and only making him subservient.

Miaoyu, one of the Twelve Beauties
Her temperament is as beautiful as an orchid, her talent as fragrant as a fairy.
The author is clearly male, so why would he like Dream of the Red Chamber?
Generally speaking, girls tend to like *Dream of the Red Chamber* more, while boys are lucky if they manage to finish reading it. However, there are many male writers of *Dream of the Red Chamber* fanfiction on Qidian.com. Why is that?
Let's just rename it "The Overbearing CEO in the Dream of the Red Chamber"
