Luo Guanshui was a famous writer in Chinese history. His novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms was widely regarded as a classic in the history of Chinese literature. In the novel, Luo Guanshui described a fictional Three Kingdoms period and portrayed Zhuge Liang as the main character. Although Luo Guanshui's novels were not widely praised, his literary achievements could not be ignored. His novels were famous for their rich imagination, profound characters and excellent narrative skills. Romance of the Three Kingdoms was regarded as a classic of ancient Chinese novels. As for whether Luo Guan Shui was a down-and-out scholar, there was no conclusive evidence. However, it could be seen from his works that he had a certain literary talent and the ability to think independently. Although his novels did not gain a high reputation, he still expressed his thoughts and feelings about society and life through his works. There was no clear answer to the question of whether Zhuge Liang's godlike writing was a manifestation of his own political ideals. Because the Zhuge Liang created by Luo Guan Shui was a fictional character, his actions and decisions were based on the needs of the plot of the novel. Therefore, he could not compare Luo Guan Shui with Zhuge Liang or entrust his political ideals.
