In a world full of selections and tactics like Wulin, an innocent - beautiful girl looked like a goddess in others' eyes.
Statues of Guan Yin and other goddesses also have been made only by human.
Ok, first sight. But I think someone's lifestyle could make up for her own an especial style which made her looked more special in others' first sight.
Ok, in fact, it's hardly possible.
But in the case of XLN and HR:
- XLN always had a cold ice face while HR always smiled mischievously. I'm sure you would think of them in different ways if you first saw them.

- XLN was totally unknown by others' at the time of their first sight.
- HR had been seen by others when she was disguising herself to tease them. So when they met again, fights happened, not admiration.
- Ouyang Ke, the one who didn't see HR before was totally beaten by her beauty at first sight.
He actually wanted to do that.
But from what he wrote about HR's beauty, I don't think the same way as you do.
I think we shouldn't count ZM and HQT in here.
Zhao Min didn't live in the same time with XLN, HR.
And Huo Qing Tong was said to be less beautiful than Xiang Xiang.
Just Huang Rong and XLN. I've never denied that XLN had an unsurpassable beauty in RoCH.
But from what Yang Guo said, and what Jin Yong wrote in LoCH, it's not true to say that HR at the age of 16 was not as beautiful as XLN at the age of 20.
OK?
No problem. I hate the character Yang Guo, not the person who likes Yang Guo
