Synopsis

Red brows, golden hairpins gleaming in the rain, a graceful beauty.

A fierce gaze, a rush to defend the wronged, his killing aura unleashed.

Master Lu Zhishen, who had attained great wisdom and enlightenment, could not ultimately resist his brothers’ loyalty. He agreed to undergo a cycle of true spiritual reincarnation and was reborn as Jia Lian, the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber.

Into the tangled web of petty schemes and romantic entanglements that was the world of the Red Chamber came a Heaven-Shattering Star from the Water Margin. With Jia Zhishen’s old nature restored, how could he stomach the sordid goings-on around him? First, he stormed the Rongguo Mansion and smashed through its black gates! Then he stormed the Ningguo Mansion and trampled Tianxiang Tower beneath his horse! He would tear away all that false affection! Like a boulder dropped into a muddy pit, he was bound to send up a few splashes!

Yet this cycle of reincarnation had tempered his heart, leaving Jia Zhishen with a wife like Feng Jie and children to care for. Now that he had stepped into this muddy quagmire of worldly life, how could he simply walk away? To avoid failing his family, and to keep his conscience clear, Jia Zhishen entered the court and the world of officialdom. At first, he only hoped to win titles and honors for his wife and children, but before long, he somehow ended up taking control of the imperial court...

Also known as The Officialdom Diary of Jia Zhishen

I only read the synopsis, and it completely baffled me. The Liangshan bandits were a bunch of scoundrels. Out of the 108, who was "clean"? I can't find many. Lin Chong and Wu Song are barely considered. Of the more than four hundred characters in Dream of the Red Chamber, from Grandmother Jia to maids and servants, how many were truly corrupt?

This Jia family is as filthy as mud, obscuring even the celestial being Baoyu who descended to earth; how could it possibly contain the true Buddha of reincarnation? Replacing Jia Lian with Zhi Shen is like throwing a boulder into a mud pit; whether he sinks or floats in the end, he will inevitably be splattered with mud.

What kind of nonsense is this "cleanliness" claim about the Liangshan heroes? They were essentially bandits and outlaws; how can you describe them as "clean"?

How many good people are there in Water Margin? There are no good people in Dream of the Red Chamber, and the same goes for Water Margin.

That's a real talent! He could easily slaughter all the trash on Liangshan, except for a few who were forced in.

Compared to *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* and *Dream of the Red Chamber*, *Water Margin* and *Journey to the West* have been most severely tainted by modern conspiracy theories. *Water Margin*, starting with that scoundrel Jin Shengtan, has been plagued by cynical writers, with several alterations significantly lowering Song Jiang's image.

The series changed after Wu Yong came out; having only Zhishen is enough, but having a few more heroes like those in the Water Margin is unnecessary.

Absolutely terrible. The protagonist is abused, weak, and without martial arts skills, he wouldn't be Lu Da. Author, your writing is extremely bad. Author, you've done a terrible job.
