Kuangxia Tianjiao Monü (狂俠·天驕·魔女), literally Mad Hero, Proud Genius, and Demoness, is a wuxia novel by Liang Yusheng. It was first published as a serial in the newspaper Hong Kong Commercial Daily from 1 July 1964 to 23 June 1968. The novel is also known by an alternative title, Tiaodeng Kanjian Lu (挑燈看劍錄; "Chronicle of Watching the Sword by Lamplight").
Set in 12th-century China during the Jin–Song wars, the novel follows the three titular characters through intersecting conflicts among the Song, Jin and Mongol empires. It is connected to Liang Yusheng's other novels set in the Song dynasty, including Hanhai Xiongfeng, Mingdi Fengyun Lu, and Fengyun Leidian.
Kuangxia Tianjiao Monü is one of Liang Yusheng's representative works from the middle phase of his writing career, and his longest novel at a length of approximately 1.36 million Chinese characters. A prequel, Wulin Tianjiao, was later written and published between 1978 and 1982.
