Ariel Lin's Huang Rong the character is more clever, more playful, more witty. This version one not as good.
The description of HR in the novel should be a cross between Ariel and LYT.
In the novel, everybody who first saw HR were amazed by her looks.. from GJ's seven masters zhu cong/HXY comparing her to a beautiful lady with delicate features in a painting even to liang ziweng who plucked a flower in the palace for her when she coyly requested it to get out of the tight situation when being discovered by those jin pugilists. Despite being described as being exceptionally graceful and elegant, she threw insults back by labeling ppl she didn't like "smelly priests, shortie, baldies" etc.
HR's traits such as meanness, cruelty, jealousy, rudeness, intelligence, resourcefulness, cuteness, playfulness and feisty were well portrayed by Ariel. But HR's looks, well-mannered, sweetness, gracefulness/elegance and affection to GJ were done nicely by LYT.
