The Salted Fish Who Refused to Play the Game: Jia Huan's Multiverse Odyssey

What if the despised concubine-born son of the Jia family got a second chance? At four years old, Jia Huan is catapulted into the modern world, where he sheds the toxic hierarchies of ancient China and builds a life of dignity and purpose. Decades later, he's thrust back into the gilded cage of *Dream of the Red Chamber*—but this time, he's done bowing to fate. Armed with modern sensibilities and zero tolerance for aristocratic nonsense, Jia Huan is about to rewrite his story. The noble families won't know what hit them.
