If I were Cao Xueqin, I wouldn't let Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu be together.
Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu can be said to be the two most important women in Jia Baoyu's life. Xue Baochai finally became Jia Baoyu's wife, and Lin Daiyu died after learning about this. Although Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu had an indissoluble bond in their previous lives, I think Xue Baochai is more suitable for Jia Baoyu than Lin Daiyu. As we all know, Lin Daiyu is beautiful and delicate, but Xue Baochai's appearance is not necessarily worse than her. In terms of personality, Xue Baochai's personality is more gentle and graceful, which can be seen from many details. Shi Xiangyun wants to be a host but money is tight. Xue Baochai not only sees Shi Xiangyun's embarrassment, but also contributes money to help her. From the beginning of entering Jiafu, Lin Daiyu often ridiculed Xue Baochai, but Xue Baochai seldom took it to heart. She seldom compared these trivial things. From the perspective of talent, if Lin Daiyu is a genius, then Xue Baochai is an all-rounder. She is proficient in poetry and songs. When Xichun wants to paint the Grand View Garden, Xue Baochai is also busy making suggestions.
Xue Baochai has always liked Jia Baoyu, but Lin Daiyu has always kept her favorite in her heart. Many times, she will feel sad alone and will not say anything when she meets many things. Jia Baoyu's personality is free and easy, he is informal, and he treats his servants well, but Lin Daiyu pretends to be lofty and cares very much about the relationship between honor and inferiority.
If Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu really get together in the end, a perfect love is far less shocking than a regretful love, and because of their personality differences, I won't let Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu be together.
