Baifa Monü Zhuan

by Liang Yusheng · first published 1958

Baifa Monü Zhuan (白髮魔女傳), literally Story of the White-Haired Demoness and variously translated as Biography of the White-Haired Succuba and Romance of the White-Haired Maiden, is a wuxia novel by Liang Yusheng. It was first published as a serial from 5 August 1957 to 8 September 1958 in the Hong Kong newspaper New Evening Post. Set in 17th-century China during the Ming dynasty, the novel follows the doomed romance between Lian Nichang, a fiercely independent vigilante swordswoman, and Zhuo Yihang, a Wudang Sect swordsman, against a backdrop of political decay and moral conflict. It marks the transition from Liang Yusheng's Pingzong series to the Tianshan series, serving as the latter's first instalment and a prequel to Saiwai Qixia Zhuan.
