Sanhua Nüxia

Sanhua Nüxia (散花女俠), literally The Blossom-Scattering Heroine, is a wuxia novel by Liang Yusheng. It was first published as a serial between 23 February 1960 and 22 June 1961 in the Hong Kong newspaper Ta Kung Pao. It is the third instalment in the Pingzong series, preceded by Pingzong Xiaying Lu and followed by Lianjian Fengyun Lu.

Set in mid-15th century China during the Ming dynasty, the novel follows the adventures of the titular heroine Yu Chengzhu, a fictional daughter of the historical statesman Yu Qian. Trained in swordsmanship by Zhang Danfeng (the protagonist of Pingzong Xiaying Lu), Yu Chengzhu gets involved in the struggles of the wulin amidst political turmoil. Several characters from the earlier novels reappear in Sanhua Nüxia, and its own characters continue into the later novels of the Pingzong series.
