Mu Wanqing : is the daughter of Duan Zhengchun and Qin Hongmian. She is forced to follow a rule established by her teacher: If any man sees her face, she must either marry or kill him. Because of this reason, she normally wears a mask or veil. She is pursued by Yue Laosan, who is angry that she killed his apprentice, who saw her face. Duan Yu gets involved in this matter, and she takes him along with her as she escapes.

Despite her harsh treatment towards him, he tries to help her and she falls in love with him. When Yue Laosan catches up with them, she reveals her face to Duan Yu and forces him to either marry her or die with her. He chooses the former option. She leaves him in anguish after they are revealed to be actually half-siblings.

She meets Duan Yanqing, who tricks her and Duan Yu into consuming aphrodisiac, because he wants them to commit incest and disgrace the Duan family. However, Duan Zhengchun's men dig a secret tunnel leading to the room where she is held captive, rescue her, and replace her with Zhong Ling. She appears again in a later chapter when the protagonists are in Western Xia.
