Overall, it's very good and worth recommending.
The name itself is very appealing; I like "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Why are there so few viewers and so little traffic?
Why is the protagonist Jia Baoyu (nicknamed "Big Face Bao")? There's a reason readers dislike Baoyu in the original novel. Although he didn't directly commit evil, he indirectly caused several deaths. He lacks ambition and only knows how to smash jade and throw tantrums. He has no sense of responsibility, yet he wants Lin Daiyu?! After reading the original novel, surely no one knows why Jia Baoyu couldn't marry Lin Daiyu. He didn't strive for the imperial examinations, so he had no say in the matter; to marry Daiyu, he had to get past Lady Wang first!
Come on
Keep up the good work, brother!
Chen Xinjia submitted his inspection report to the emperor: Jia Qianhu's army was fully staffed and rigorously trained; the new recruits, trained for ten days, were even more elite than the household guards of Tianjin. The emperor was overjoyed: It seems my imperial treasury has indeed been used effectively; it's hateful that those generals only know how to embezzle military funds.
However, hoping for a fair reward and punishment for the Jia family, the emperor immediately promoted the protagonist's eldest sister to the rank of Virtuous Consort. He ordered the Imperial Guards to gather evidence of Jia She's various shameless crimes and to execute him immediately. He also bestowed the Jia family's title upon the protagonist's father.
Today, the protagonist captures Qing County, while the general and the Right Guard's entire army collapses. Following this emperor's usual practice, both Li and Cao are executed. The protagonist is then directly promoted to General of Tianjin.
Once the protagonist's age is set, the ages of the surrounding characters revolve around him. In *Dream of the Red Chamber*, a large group of girls are actually two women—according to scholar Huo Guoling, two "fake" young ladies and real maids, one older than the protagonist by a year and the other younger. The former is represented by Baochai, with various incarnations including Xiren, Sheyue, Ping'er, and Yuanyang, characterized by her ability to manage the household and keep accounts, and her exceptional memory. The latter is Daiyu, with incarnations including Qingwen, Fangguan, and Qin Keqing.
How is the protagonist's age calculated? Based on the dialogue between the protagonist and his uncle, he is 16-17 years old.
I've read the author's book. A different perspective on *Dream of the Red Chamber*. A different *Dream of the Red Chamber*, a different story. A different feeling.
