Clearly reveals the three main threads of the original story's evolution— the causal illusions of heaven and earth, the tragic love between the male and female protagonists, and the rise and fall of the Jia family.
Baochai shows great concern for Daiyu's illness and says many heartfelt words. Daiyu is deeply moved and feels guilty for misunderstanding Baochai in the past. Their bond grows stronger day by day.
Jia She, the eldest son of Grandmother Jia, sets his sights on Yuanyang and wants to make her his concubine, asking his wife Xinfu to arrange the match. Yuanyang is extremely disgusted and firmly refuses. Jia She flies into a rage and then sends Yuanyang's older brother and sister to exert pressure. With nowhere else to turn, Yuanyang reports the matter to Grandmother Jia and takes a vow of tonsure. Grandmother Jia is both furious and angry, scolding Jia She and his wife. From then on, Jia She harbors deep hatred for Yuanyang.
Lai Da's son, who holds a minor official position through Jia family connections, invites many masters and guests to celebrate in his own garden. Xue Pan sees the charming and roguish Liu Xianglian and immediately schemes to take advantage of him. Liu Xianglian notices Xue Pan's sinister intentions and, furious, tricks him into going to the suburbs, where he delivers a brutal beating. Humiliated and ashamed, Xue Pan leaves with his men to engage in business after recovering from his injuries.
As the saying goes, "no coincidence," and indeed, relatives of Li Yun, Baochai, and others come to the Jia estate to seek kinship. The Grand View Garden becomes even livelier than usual as the sisters gather to write poetry and play, filled with joy.
Baoyu's peacock robe accidentally gets burned, and although Qingwen is seriously ill, she still works tirelessly through the night to repair it, only worsening her own condition.
It's time for the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival again, and the Jia estate prepares with great extravagance and grandeur, unlike anything seen before. Just after the Spring Festival, Fengjie falls ill due to overwork. The management of the household is temporarily taken over by Li Yun and Tanchun. The servants initially dismiss it, but Tanchun handles every matter with order and efficiency, showcasing her intelligence and talent, establishing her authority. However, her mother, Zhao Yiniang, constantly comes to stir up trouble.
