Princess Fragrance and Xiao Longnu are two of the most beautiful woman in the Jin Yong world.
How would Wang Yuyan fare?
Wang Yuyan - third compared to Princess Fragrance & Xiao Longnu in terms of beauty?

I think Chen Yuan Yuan also...(Yes she's old) but I still remember the description of when We Xiao Bao saw her. Totally mesmerized. She must be godly beautiful if she's 10 years younger.
She ages. Unlike little dragon.
And judging from adaptations, Xiao Long Nu = Wang Yu Yan.
She used the knowledge she had to rediscover TSTL's kungfu, improved it with kung fu from all other sects and became the baby XLN.
Burying his Dugu 9 Jian manual under an epitaph, Dugu Qiubai felt he has left his legacy for the next generation. He then moved to Shaolin to study Buddhism, sweep floors and tap elite fighters.
I feel XLN's description in the book is more beautiful than WYY's.Originally Posted by Ardor
Well, if you are looking at the adaptations, then of course XLN=WYY because the 2 latest ROCH and DGSD both had the same actress!
法王正欲回掌相击,突听嗤嗤轻响,一股柔和的气流涌向面门,正是一灯大师使出“一阳指”功夫,正面拦截。法王一直没将这白眉老僧放在眼内,那料到他这一指之功,竟是如此深厚。
此时一灯大师的“一阳指”功夫实已到了登峰造极、炉火纯青的地步,指上发出的那股罡气似是温淳平和,但沛然浑厚,无可与抗。
And LYF can prob play Princess XX as well......Originally Posted by Whsie

Actually, it's 3.Originally Posted by Whsie
80's WYY and XLN - Idy Chan
90's WYY and XLN - Carmen Lee
00's WYY and XLN - Liu Yi Fei.

And thus, we can scientifically conclude WYY = XLN.Originally Posted by kidd

From what I hear, Princess Fragrance is first, SLL is second (barely ahead of WYY), WYY is third...4th and 5th I thought would be Chen Yuan Yuan and Purple Robe Dragon King respectively.Originally Posted by WuxiaMaster
Princess Fragrance was able to stop an entire army cold with her looks.
Little Dragon Girl inspired the complete obssession of at least four men (Yeung Gor, Wan Tze Ping, Gung Sheun Tze, Fok Do), and even those who were not madly in love/lust with her admired her beauty.
Wong Yu Yin had one stalker (Deun Yu) and a male cousin (Mo Yung F'uk) who didn't seem to give a crap about her despite her utter devotion to him.
Something tells me that while Wong Yu Yin was definitely good looking, she was outclassed in this department by Princess Fragrance and Little Dragon Girl.
How did Central Mischief Chow Ba Thung treat Little Dragon Girl in the novel? Based on ROCH83, even he had a liking of this beauty. Did he feel comfortable around her, or is he in love with her abilities: bees control, sleeping on rope, able to draw a square with one hand and circle on the other?Originally Posted by Ken Cheng
I got the impression that he has no romantic interest in her whatsoever, but he does like the nifty tricks she can do and that she's less obviously abrasive than other women that he's known (i.e. Wong Yung, Ying Goo). Perversely, perhaps, Little Dragon Girl annoys me more than Wong Yung and Ying Goo put together.Originally Posted by Felix
Can we apply the appearance deterioration theory to TV adaptations just like the martial arts deterioration theory in Wuxia? I think Idy is the best looking lady, Carmen looks decent, and LYF's looks are a dime a dozen. I don't want to sound arrogant but in college, I could easily have gotten chicks that look like LYF and in my opinon, she doesn't come anywhere close to what I imagine XLN would look like.Originally Posted by kidd
lol, I actually feel it's the other way around. The farther we go back, the uglier. Besides, JY did say that LYF is the "closest" to the XLN he has in mind.

What the heck? I just read this week a recent review of Andy Lau's ROCH adaptation and it was specifically mentioned that JY thinks that Idy is the best XLN ever. I guess JY just kisses the butt of whoever is working in one of his adaptations. It's too bad that we didn't go to college together, I could have easily hooked you up with a Liu Yi Fei level chick.Originally Posted by Whsie
Jin Yong specifically wanted Liu Yi Fei to play Xiao Long Nu. Also, that 'Idy = best XLN' comment was quite long ago, before TLBB04 was made. At that time, I don't think he knows who Liu Yi Fei is.

Yes, you are correct. Idy is the BEST XLN. In other words that she ACTED the closest and best to the XLN JY intended.Originally Posted by Wu Wudi
But LYF was said by JY to be the CLOSEST XLN. In other words, LYF is closest to the IMAGE of XLN in his mind.

I suppose beauty standards back then and now are different. We can't say women back then are ugly compared to today. Idy was considered very beautiful back then as XLN.
That sounds like the young generation looks better than the older ones.Originally Posted by Sugar
