Jinling Tribulation: Supplement to the Guiyou Edition of Stone Records

This novel strictly follows the core of the "political tragedy" in the Guiyou version. It is based on the core setting and tragic tone of the "family death and blood history" in the Guiyou version. It closely follows the main plot of Baoyu (a symbol of imperial power) being kidnapped, the chaos in the world (war in the late Ming Dynasty), and Daiyu (a metaphor for Chongzhen) in danger. It incorporates details such as kidnapping and ransom, family internal strife, and civil defense to restore the core of political tragedy and character traits in the Guiyou version. Following the tragic tone of the Guiyou version, Daiyu's inner struggle is integrated into key plots such as Daiyu's involvement in the plot, suspicions surrounding her, and the wrongful killing of Zhongliang. It includes both the determination to survive in the apocalypse, the literati's suspicion, and the regret after the wrongful killing, making the character more in line with the tragic core of the "Chongzhen Metaphor." This strengthens the tragedy of Daiyu's "knowing that she cannot do anything but doing it" - she is not a natural leader, but she is forced to shoulder heavy responsibilities in the last days. Suspicion is her weakness and the fate of literati in troubled times.
