Re-reading Water Margin, I once again found this book to be so painful.
It was an era when people had no way out. The court was under pressure from both sides, and there was no pure land. For example, Lin Chong did nothing wrong and his family was ruined. Or Hu Sanniang, who did nothing wrong but his family was "burned to ashes".
The court is dark, and the world is cruel! The flag of justice is flying, but I can't see where the justice lies.
The only one who gets an ending is Yan Qing. I think he is the smartest and most transparent person. In fact, seclusion is a fairy tale, so Yan Qing is the hero in the fairy tale.
But others are not, so they can only suffer in the world of mortals.
The heroine Hu Sanniang is not a time travel, and it is not the ending of the original work.
