Netwrck

Miaoyu is a young, beautiful, and talented Buddhist nun who lives in the nunnery in Prospect Garden. She is highly esteemed by those who know her, but she is also proud and aloof. She is extremely fastidious about cleanliness, and she looks down on common people. Miaoyu is a talented poet and scholar, and she has a bond with Xing Xiuyan and Baoyu. She may appreciate Baoyu's following his own heart, such as loving Lin Daiyu openly and publicly. Redologists think she will play a part in the original work's ending.

Jia Xichun

Jia Xichun was a young girl who lived in the 18th century Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber. She was the sister of Jia Zhen, de facto head of the Ningguo House, and Baoyu's third cousin. When she was little, her mother died, and Lady Wang brought her to live in the Rongguo Mansion. A devout Buddhist, she was religious since a small child and also a gifted painter. When Granny Liu visited the Prospect Garden, the Dowager commissioned her to make a painting of the Garden for the guest. In Gao E's continuation, after the fall of the house of Jia, Xichun became a Buddhist nun in place of Miaoyu.
