Our take on Yihongyuan
The defining structure is an interactive novel about a scholar’s journey to a Beijing examination, with dice, puzzles, poetry, and an entanglement system shaping the continuing story.

Yihongyuan is an interactive novel about a scholar traveling to Beijing to take an examination and meeting a beautiful woman during the journey.
Its activities include rolling dice, solving puzzles, and reciting poems. The story presents several characters connected to the Yihongyuan courtyard, including a dancer, an artist, and women from different personal and family circumstances.
