Chao Gai's transformation: From the "Tagoda King" who was loyal to justice and wealth, he transformed into a leader with both Jianghu loyalty and political wisdom.

The pattern of Jianghu: The major copycats have transformed from loose allies to a community of interests that is both cooperative and competitive under the leadership of Liangshan, with an undercurrent of turmoil.
