Hello,I have a question,do you think can Wei Xiaobao could have 7 wives if other Jinyong hero's like Yang Guo,Zhang Wuji,Linghu Zhong,Xiao Feng,Hu Fei around at same time ?
Since I don't read the novel and most actor in act as Wei are handsome man ,i want to ask Is Wei Xiaobao really a handsome man compare to other Jinyong hero in the novel? Some said he not handsome but why he Got 7 wives ?
What if Yang Guo,Zhang Wuji courting the girls or wife of Wei Xiaobao?
Do you think the wife of Wei Xiaobao will leave Wei if given choice since they are more skilful in Kung Fu and more handsome than Wei ?
Thanks.

wei xiaobao grew up in a brothel. he knows every trick in the book when it comes to wooing and charming and seducing women. i doubt his wives would leave him--they have been completely duped by him. don't forget, one of them is a PRINCESS and she willing gives up her life of luxury at court to go wandering with this vagabond.
the whole point of this character is for him to be an anti-hero, so he doesn't need to follow the typical rules that traditional heroes, even rebels like yang guo, are bound by. he does what he wants and gets away with it. so, even if the other heroes were around, it wouldn't stop him. and the fact that "honourable" heroes like his shifu are duped by him and see him as honourable means that he can just as easily dupe everyone else. i think the only other JY hero who could see through him is yang guo; but YG wouldn't despise him--he'd recognize the anti-establishment streak and condone it.
as for the other heroes hitting on his wives: no, they would not. even before he made them his wives, they would not encroach on another's paramour. and don't forget, with the exception of ah ke, WXB had already won the hearts of all the others beforehand.
i have yet to read the books, so i don't know whether WXB is described as handsome or not. anyone able to answer?
and that's my two-cents!

Linghu Chong would probably get along well with him too, since he was able to accept Tian Boguang as a comrade.

Duan also know every tricks when come to wooing and seducing women,am I right on this ? Who do you think if Duan try to wooing or seducing wife or girlfriend of Wei? Or what about if Wei try to wooing wife or girlfriends of Duan? Is Duan a handsome man in the book?

@galvatron but in many ways, duan zhengcun is the polar opposite of WXB: he's royalty, he's handsome, he's got money and power. women would WANT to be wooed and seduced by him. WXB is a nobody in society, comes from the lowest ranks, gains everything by trickery. do either WXB or DZC "deserve" their lot in life? maybe not, but people tend to be more willing to forgive the DZC type. and that's why WXB is the anti-hero--JY purposely wrote about a character that doesn't seem to have anything except his wits who still manages to get to the top of the social strata.

I agree with this analysis. Wei Xiao Bao relies on his wits and I believe it is his ability to make his female companions laugh that makes him likeable to his seven wives.

Do you think the wife of Wei Xiaobao will leave Wei if given choice since they are more skilful in Kung Fu and more handsome than Wei ? Thanks. Answers: 1. I don't think so. Because after all, he could get 7 wives, because he kind of 'raped' the girls. I think out of the 7 wives, only the princess who really loved WXB since the beginning. The rest, probably they didn't hate him, but didn't love him either. Especially they have other choices of guys out there. 2. It's not mentioned in the novel if he's handsome. He got his 7 wives because in one incident, he managed to drug all the girls by chance. And he 'raped' them altogether at the same time. 3. I'm pretty sure if at the beginning those girls knew other guys with quality like YG or ZWJ, they wouldn't bother to befriend with WXB. 4. WXB is a SUPER RICH guy. He got a lot of money from bribery. So it depends on the women, if they prefer handsome men and more skilful kungfu guys over money. If WXB is head to heaad to Duan Zhengchun, then of course the women would choose Duan Zhengchun. Both of them are sweet talkers, but at least DZC would not swear a lot. WXB might be funny and know how to make jokes to woo them, but DZC was an elegant guy who played music and poems to woo women. Money wise, both of them were rich, but WXB was a bastard kid brought up in a brothel, while DZC was a noble man. Look wise, DZC was a handsome man. WXB was not handsome.
