Fate and merit were often mentioned in novels. Merit or luck was a controversial issue. Different authors and plots in novels would have different explanations and views. Generally speaking, merit was considered a more important power than luck. In traditional Confucianism, merit was seen as the embodiment of a person's code of conduct. Through continuous cultivation and accumulation, a person could improve his moral standards and obtain greater luck and blessings. In the novels, some powerful characters would usually accumulate a large amount of merit to obtain more luck and good luck. On the other hand, luck was seen as a mysterious force that could affect a person's luck and fate. In some novels, some characters could easily defeat other characters because they had special abilities or good luck. In general, merit and luck had their own importance and functions. Which one was better depended on the plot of the novel and the author's explanation.
