[Dream of the Red Chamber + Water Margin] The Flower Monk Goes on a Rampage in the Red Chamber

A short, sweet story with a happy ending that follows the original's logic as closely as possible. I hope the unexpected arrival of the Flower Monk Lu Zhishen can give the girls in Dream of the Red Chamber a better ending.

This is a marvelous collision between Water Margin and Dream of the Red Chamber.

"All my life I've done no good, only killed and set fires. Suddenly I threw off my golden fetters, broke my jade chains. Ah! The tide comes in on the Qiantang River. Today at last I know who I am."

The Flower Monk Lu Zhishen was the "head of the armed police squad" in Weizhou City, with a stable, respectable job and a love of wine and meat. But because he couldn't stand by when people were wronged, he got mixed up in a murder case and had to flee with nothing but a bucket, hiding from place to place.

After that, he encountered injustice again and again and eventually made his way to Liangshan.

How could such a straightforward, untroubled roughneck see the "ill-fated" women in Dream of the Red Chamber and not draw his blade to help them?
