Left-Hand Path to Immortality: Rewriting the Red Chamber

Others seek immortality through bitter cultivation or virtuous deeds. Jia Xian achieves it by rewriting fate itself. Transmigrated into the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, he carries with him a bizarre "wordless heavenly book." He undermines Jia Jing's cultivation, cutting off the old Taoist's path to immortality to secure his own first fortune. He takes in You Erjie and saves Qin Keqing—each scheme and dalliance forging a thousand supernatural abilities. He is the lowly firewood boy at Xuanzhen Temple. He is the conjurer who chants "good fortune" over coffins in the mourning hall. He is the "earthly immortal" who captivates even the retired Emperor. Charlatan to some, to the world he is Immortal Jia, True Man Jia. From a small loft at the corner of Ningguo Mansion to ruling the entire estate; from the "Spring Sleep of Begonia" scroll to the Illusory Realm of Disenchantment—he plays through the mortal world with no desire for rank or riches, saving the ill-fated beauties of the Red Chamber and proving that even the left-hand path can lead to immortality. When the Illusory Realm feasts anew, even the Fairy of Disenchantment is left stunned: what manner of crooked genius is this, who spurns orthodox destiny yet rewrites the Book of Ill-Fated Ladies into a Register of Long Life?
