Wuxia Spouse

[Han Solo]

chen yuanyuan, it s a no brainer to me, she was gorgeous, and equally important, she had excellent techniques on bed that only few of women have that must have helped her accomplish a feat that is completely wining the hearts of 2 emperors and 1 powerful general who themselves each had a gigantic harem of beautiful wives and concubines.

if chen was not available then i d go for ma fu ren who is TEH queen of bdsm in jin yong universe !!

well, if ma was also not available then my last resort d be zhao min, as she also seemed to have a tendency of enjoying sm...,

Not that kind of spouse.... meh.....

If that's what you have in mind, you should go for Lin Xian Er.

Cheng Lingsu: generally intelligent, technically skilled, kind when necessary, knows how/when to say 'no', not afraid of hard work....

Yeah, she is such a tragic choice though.

Han Solo

If she's with HuangYushi, she won't be tragic anymore since HYS will appreciate her, unlike Hu Fei.

Note: thread topic - Who would you choose to be your spouse from all the characters in wuxia stories?

Ah Qing! Because she's only at the level of about a 2nd or 3rd generation Quanzhen disciple, so I wouldn't have to fret too much over who's the man in the relationship.

But seriously, yes Ah Qing. I'm a sucker for innocent naivete.

Yeah, the one taught by grandpa ape.

But, isn't she supposed to be very highly skilled in MA?

[Candide]

Just one spouse? What if I'm Muslim and can have 4? I call discrimination!!!

[kidd]

Hua Man Lou.

I like his outlook in life. Despite his handicap, he still can see the beauty around him. He doesn't lament his disability or wallow in self-pity (the only time he regretted being blind was when he couldn't see LXF without his mustache ;p). He choose to appreciate and enjoy life instead. And he's peaceful and respect others' right to live.

Regarding bliss' comment about ah qing- it is an on-going joke between us about the level of ah qing's martial arts.

You only answered part of the question. Now answer about WHY?

Isn't the why obvious?

But since you ask, the reason is because she's very different than all the other girls. She can handle being alone and doesn't talk a lot. She is strong inside and out. She has a philosophical side. she is very innocent. And she loves nature. She's caring. She has a big heart, even though she shows very little emotion. She is smart and practical. And even though she is consider the most beautiful, she isn't one bit conceited. And the biggest reason I like about her is she actually prefers being with her love in solitude rather than live among people with their dramas. She's perfect

All of the girls

Why stop at one? Got to catch them all

[Ken Cheng]

Perhaps the *one* thing more implausible in wuxia than those superhuman, supernatural martial arts is the concept of the "perfect" wuxia spouse.

I have an easier time suspending my disbelief in the crazy martial arts, and that says something because I've got plenty of problems with that already.

You can have all the old ladies, don't think anyone will complain

[remember_Cedric]

I'll pick 東方不敗 because he/she has this capability to conveniently power switch his/her liking between male/female. How interesting!

Kidding!!!

There's a term for that: it's called "AC/DC" (you know, like the heavy metal band).

Heavy metal band in music? Hmmm, more like AC rather than DC. You know, like Alternating Current.

DFBB is one of a kind, isn't it? Tell me another character who can do that. Besides Lin Pingzhi...he is sort of a failed experiment.

[Banh Mi]

Yue Buqun?

[HuangYushi]

Hah! Kidd reads my mind.

The other choice that came to mind when I made the first post was Ling Shuanghua, whose principled steadfastness really stood out against the genteel upbringing that she had.

But I still prefer Cheng Lingsu. Her rough-and-tumble lifestyle puts her in better stead with me than Ling Shuanghua's cloistered one. She would probably fit better in the modern world too.

So ... anyone like Cheng Lingsu out there?

PS: Ning Zongce is another option; too bad she wasn't appreciated by her original spouse.

Not this one; Gillian Chung is too pretty.

I like Cheng Lingsu as she is in the novel. That's the one that caught my attention right from the start.

You need to translate the novel for me ^^

Cheng LingSu is one of my fav characters. I would have picked CLS>YZY, if I was Hu Fei.

I haven't changed my top choices: Xiao Zhao, Cheng Yin and Cheng Lin Su.
RYY is also very good.

[Trien Chieu]

Honestly? None of them.

The world of wulin and the world of modernity are just too different.

None of them??
Ken, the good women of the wuxia world are just so perfect. There are very rare, if not non-existent, in the modern world.

I don't think the "perfection" of the wuxia world is compatible with the imperfection of the real world.

When "perfection" (quotes because I'm not sure such a thing exists even on an abstract level) meets imperfection, the imperfection "infects" the perfection and makes it imperfect. The result is a mess.
