If Pan Jinlian doesn't open the window, will her fate change?

I once read a joke that if Pan Jinlian didn't open the window, Ximen Qing wouldn't hook up with Pan Jinlian, Pan Jinlian wouldn't harm Wu Dalang, and Wu Dalang wouldn't be forced to revolt, which eventually led to the whole Water Margin not happening. Of course, this is just a joke, because it over-magnifies the effect of Pan Jinlian's window opening.

We have all heard of the butterfly effect. A butterfly flapping its wings in California may cause a tornado in another state. But if we put the butterfly effect on whether Pan Jinlian opens the window, I don't think it will necessarily cause that butterfly effect.

Just because Pan Jinlian doesn't open the window doesn't mean that he won't meet Ximen Qing, because if we have watched TV dramas or read the original works, we will know that Ximen Qing and Wang Po are very close. Even if Pan Jinlian doesn't open the window or hit Ximen Qing, Ximen Qing will know Pan Jinlian one day, and the result will be the same.

In addition, Pan Jinlian doesn't love Wu Dalang, and she is so tired of her ordinary and boring life that she doesn't want to live with Wu Dalang anymore. In this case, even without Ximen Qing, there may be a celebration of the East Gate and the North Gate. In short, he may be with someone else, and the result will not change.

Although we always say that details determine success or failure, we can't say that details determine everything, because it should be the core factor and variable that determines this matter. A person's fate will be in his own hands, and Pan Jinlian's character determines the final result. Even if he didn't open the window, I think the last thing happened, but at different times, different places and different opportunities. If opening a window changes the direction of this story, I think it is a bit of a storm in a teacup.
