    I haven't changed my top choices: Xiao Zhao, Cheng Yin and Cheng Lin Su.

    That's one perfect reply to confuse the already-confused. Well done!

    Profoundly thought-provoking. Yin theory meets Law of Chaos.
    It sounds better if you reverse the order for a more optimistic reality.

    I'm not much into optimism these days, at least not on *this* particular subject.

    My general experience has been that pessimism works better with reality than optimism does. That's just the kind of world it is.

    Ken, the good women of the wuxia world are just so perfect. There are very rare, if not non-existent, in the modern world.

    There's no perfection in wuxia females characters anyway. And relative perfection is in the eye of the beholder. There are lots of nice ladies out there in the real world, just need to get out there and meet them. If one focuses too much on the negatives, one will never find the relative perfection.

    In this imperfect world of ours, I've noted that the harder one looks, the less likely one is to find.

    When one is totally not even looking, that's when one gets blindsided.

    It's sort of like DGSD and martial arts...particularly of the Deun Yu/Hui Juk category.
