If we put aside the objective factor that the audience can't accept this plain heroine, I think Cheng Lingsu, who has been endowed with beauty, still can't get Pei Hu's love, and her ending will look even sadder. Throughout the book, I think Pei Hu's love for Cheng Lingsu is more because she is too clever than because of her ordinary appearance.
Cheng Lingsu is a "special" strange girl in Jin Yong's novels, which is different from other slightly important female characters in Jin Yong's novels. Cheng Lingsu is not only plain-looking, but also the first heroine in The Legend of Flying Fox, and she has never been favored by the male host from beginning to end.
character introduction
Cheng Lingsu's sorrow lies in her wit and cleverness, and her kindness and kindness have long covered up her shortcomings in appearance. But the fallen flower is heartless, and the person she loves never looks back at her. A wandering orphan girl finally chose to sacrifice herself to save her lover and disappear into the vast land. Many readers can't help thinking that if Cheng Lingsu is a woman with both beauty and wisdom.
Take Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain 07 as an example. Cheng Lingsu played by Gillian Chung is beautiful but not gorgeous, like a blue snow lotus blooming in Tianshan Mountain. I still feel pity. This Cheng Lingsu has satisfied the fantasy of the vast majority of the audience. She is beautiful, kind, intelligent and generous. If we only look at the fetters between Pei Hu and Cheng Lingsu, Pei Hu is undoubtedly a lamp in Cheng Lingsu's life.
