A Dream of Red Mansions: Saving Lin Daiyu at the Start

In the twilight of the Great Wu dynasty, as tens of thousands weep for a crumbling realm, eunuch factions and orthodox literati squabble for power while bandits ravage the land and common folk drown in misery. Beyond Shanhai Pass, foreign cavalry eye the Han heartland with hungry ambition. To prevent this glorious civilization from ending in a vast, empty whiteness, the time-traveling Zhu Ying draws his sword and rises. He seizes Shandong, takes Jiangnan, marches north against the imperial court, and drives out the invaders—swearing to defend the very soul of China. And it all begins with one decisive act: saving Lin Daiyu.
