'''Jin Yong''' (the [[Pen Name]] of Louis Cha) is one of the most influential modern Chinese-language novelists. He was the best-selling living Chinese author before his death in 2018. He is well known for his historical [[Wuxia]] fiction--he pretty much single-handedly raised the [[Wuxia]] to a "legitimate" art form ([[Wuxia]] novels having gained an unfair reputation as "things teenagers and immature adults read") and is the standard against which all other [[Wuxia]] novelists are compared--and a great many [[Live Action Adaptation]] series have been made based on his books. Some of his novels have been officially translated into English.

* ''The Book and the Sword''
* ''Sword Stained with Royal Blood''
Line 20 ⟶ 21:
* ''Sword of the Yue Maiden''
{{creatortropes}}
* [[Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder]]: A main source of angst for Di Yun in ''A Deadly Secret''. His student sister married the guy who caused him to be imprisoned and tortured all those years.
* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: To the point where certain blades can cut pieces of hair falling on them. Prominent examples are the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Sabre {{spoiler|which break upon clashing into each other}}.
Line 147 ⟶ 148:
* [[Values Dissonance]]: The attitudes towards women, the borderline jingoistic nationalism, the whole [[Honor Before Reason]] thing...though some of it is probably invoked on purpose.
* [[Villainous Crossdresser]]: In ''The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'', those who learn the [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]] all end up a little...queer, to say the least.
* [[Wall of Text]]
* [[World's Most Beautiful Woman]]: Jin Yong is quite fond of this trope. Most of his series has a designated "world's most beautiful woman" set during that period. Special mention goes to Xiao Long Nu, Princess Fragrance, Wang Yuyan, and Ah Ke along with her mother Chen Yuanyuan (who was Chinese history's equivalent of Helen of Troy). Expect [[Serious Business|many heated arguments]] among Jin Yong fans about who is most beautiful.
* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]: Most of his protagonists except for Wei Xiaobao.
* [[Woman Scorned]]: Zhou Zhiruo is the epitome of this. ''All'' hell breaks loose when Wuji leaves her during the wedding.
* [[Yandere]]
