Master Tao, I Became an Immortal, and Then I Realized It Was the Red Mansion

Transmigrated into the prestigious Jia family of the classic *Dream of the Red Chamber*, Jia Gui awakens a mysterious system panel and spends ten bitter years studying Taoist scriptures at the Xuanzhen Temple. Achieving enlightenment overnight, he becomes the first true Taoist master in five hundred years, sending shockwaves through the imperial capital of Shenjing. When his estranged father rushes to him, demanding to know the secret to immortality, Jia Gui calmly replies that he merely read a few extra books. It is only when he hears the names of the Ningguo and Rongguo mansions that he suddenly realizes he is living inside the tragic world of *Dream of the Red Chamber*. Invited to the imperial palace by the dynasty's founding patriarch and granted unrestricted access to the royal archives, Jia Gui turns thousands of ancient texts into nourishment for his grand cultivation. With the rise and fall of empires and the bitter entanglements of the mortal world holding no sway over him, his only pursuit in this life is the ultimate Tao, eternal longevity, and absolute freedom.
