The Soul Penetrates the Water Margin and the Military Advisor Reverses the Reform of Liangshan

After reading this book, I suddenly felt that when Shi Naian wrote about Wu Yong, he wrote the word "wisdom"; while in this novel, when he wrote about Wu Wei, he wrote the word "gui". Wu Yong spent his whole life using his wisdom for others. In the end, he was homeless and hanged in front of the Songjiang grave. Nine hundred years later, Wu Wei lit the fire for the people of Jingdong, handed the fire to the people of Jiangnan, wrote the Zen deed for Zhao Ji, demolished the emperor for the people of the world, and then left on his own - returning to his nine hundred years later. But he didn't go back empty-handed. The soil of ten prefectures and cities is embedded in his palm prints, and the fire of the people from ten prefectures and cities is burning in his eyes. He tore off the blank pages of "Water Margin" and folded them into paper cranes, which flew into the gray-white clouds. The crane was painted by Zhao Ji, the paper belonged to Lady Cai from Jiangnan, and the folding method was learned by him in Chenqiao Town. On a paper crane, there are folded the hand warmth of three people, three cities, and three eras.

I think the biggest highlight is that the protagonist Wu Wei travels through time and becomes Wu Yong. In the traditional Water Margin, Wu Yong is a "smart star" and a "useless" scholar. He has no strategy but cannot change the tragedy of Liangshan. In this book, the protagonist uses modern thinking + original knowledge to directly subvert his destiny - not only takes the top spot, but also upgrades Liangshan from a grass bandit to a separatist regime. This transition of identity from "strategist" to "emperor" brings a strong sense of reading pleasure.

After reading this book, I am happy to feel that the image of the protagonist Wu Wei is more three-dimensional. He not only has a modern thinking vision, but also can quickly adapt to ancient tactics; he not only retains Wu Yong's resourcefulness, but also adds a decisive leadership temperament. However, how to balance the "golden finger of the time traveler" and the "reality of growth" to prevent the protagonist from becoming invincible prematurely is a common challenge in this type of story.
