Baifa Monü Zhuan is a wuxia novel by Liang Yusheng first published as a serial between 5 August 1957 and 10 December 1958 in the Hong Kong newspaper Sin Wun Pao.
Lian Nichang, a bandit leader nicknamed "Jade Rakshasa", is a legendary vigilante swordswoman who uses her skills to uphold justice in the jianghu (martial artists' community).
Zhuo Yihang, a swordsman of the Wudang School, helps the crown prince uncover the truth behind the case and succeeds in clearing the name of his father, who had been wrongly put to death.
The following night, when he agrees to combine forces with some martial artists to deal with a dangerous foe, he is shocked to learn that the woman he met earlier is actually their target: the "Jade Rakshasa".
Yue Mingke and Lian Nichang spar with each other and realise that their respective masters used to be a loving couple, but have separated due to a rivalry over achieving supremacy in swordsmanship.
Feeling disillusioned with the power struggles in society, he becomes a Buddhist monk under the name "Reverend Huiming" and moves to the Mount Heaven region, where he spends his time meditating and practising martial arts.
