Dream of the Red Chamber: I Am the Foolish Tyrant

[Dream of the Red Chamber] + [Alternate Universe] + [Historical] + [Lighthearted] [In this setting, Xue Baochai is not the original body’s sister. In a cat-for-prince switch, he is actually a royal heir who grew up among commoners.] In the Great Qi, Year Four of the Tianshou era, in Jinling, the Southern Capital. A person from a later age transmigrates into the foolhardy Xue Pan and gains an Emotion Points + Achievement dual-drive System. From then on, he plucks stars from the Dream of the Red Chamber and stirs up storms across the realm. Xiangling: May I be the star and you the moon, shining brightly together night after night. Xue Baochai: We never tire of gazing at each other across the mountains. Why roam every ridge in search of clouds? Lin Daiyu: If this love is to last, then stay with me. If your heart is elsewhere, I’ll let you go. Jia Tanchun: The bright moon knows nothing of the pain of parting; its slanting light reaches through vermilion doors until dawn. Wang Xifeng: I return your pearl with tears in my eyes. I only wish we had met before I was wed. Many, many years later, Xue Pan gazed at the court officials filling the palace and the three thousand beauties in his harem, then sighed: “To command the realm by day and sleep with beauties by night was never what I wished for! At first, I only wanted to avoid disaster, protect the family estate, and keep to one corner of the land. I can’t help remembering that run beneath the setting sun that day. That was my lost youth!” But the story must begin with a brick by the Jinling Bridge, back in that year... “Duang! Duang! Congratulations, Host, on successfully showing off your humblebrag.
