Mu Nianci in the current edition of ''The Legend of the Condor Heroes'' is actually an amalgam of the original "Mu Nianci" and "Qin Nanqin" that was written out by Jin Yong. In the original edition, Mu Nianci was in love with Yang Kang, but she was not the mother of Yang Guo. Qin Nanqin was raped by Yang Kang. She would become a nun and traveled with Mu Nianci before settling down to raise Yang Guo. When Yang Kang was going to die of poison, the original Mu Nianci killed him out of pity and committed suicide next to him. Jin Yong stated that he believed Qin Nanqin's role to be unnecessary and decided to make them into one character in the later edition.
