Based on the classic plot of the original work, the book reconstructs a heroic epic in which the government forced the people to rebel, acted on behalf of heaven, and defended the country. On the basis of retaining the classic plots such as the punching to conquer Guanxi, the Fengxue Mountain Temple, outsmarting the birthday plan, hunting the tiger in Jingyanggang, and robbing the court in Jiangzhou, the book deletes the unreasonable geographical settings and bloody and brutal plots, highlights the hero's true character of justice, loyalty, and clear love and hate. It updates four original main lines and reshapes the image of the one hundred and eight generals in Liangshan.
The story breaks the original ending of Chao Gai's death and changes it to Zengtou City, where he is healed by the genius doctor An Daoquan and regains control of Liangshan after being shot by an arrow. At the same time, four new main lines are added: fishermen's fight against fishing taxes, Cao gang's fight against harsh taxes, Jiangnan's fight against Hua Shi Gang, and border control against Liao and Xia. Fan Rui, Li Jun, Yang Lin, and Dong Ping, who are all in the original work, are able to portray thin heroes in their respective chapters and enrich their characters. The work adds new female characters such as Zheng Yunniang and Li Pei, rearranges the stars and positions of one hundred and eight generals, and clarifies the division of labor among the cavalry, infantry, navy, espionage, money and food, and military medicine.
The core breakthrough of the plot lies in the split of Zhao'an: when the imperial court was recruiting people for peace, Liangshan split into the Zhao'an faction led by Song Jiang and the anti- Zhao'an faction led by Chao Gai. In the end, each took half of the troops and went their separate ways. After the Jingkang Incident and the invasion of the Jin Kingdom, the righteousness of the family and the country trumped the factional disputes. Those who stayed in Liangshan and resisted the recruitment of An sent down the mountain to serve the king. The heroes who accepted the recruitment were also ordered to fight against the Jin. The two armies reunited on the battlefield and cleared up their old grudges to fight against the enemy side by side.
In the end, all members of the One Hundred and Eight Generals fought bloody battles and sacrificed their lives for the country. They wrote a hymn to national heroes with loyalty and loyalty. They abandoned the original tragedy of recruitment and sublimated the story of Liangshan into an eternal legend of resisting tyranny and sacrificing their lives for the country, fully demonstrating the core of justice for heaven.
