This character list is created to help you better understand the novel and not get characters confused. YingZhao, the author of this novel, also cleverly uses names of the characters to their personality. We think it would be wonderful if you can understand what their names actually mean, since all the name translations are pronunciation. For each character, we included a short summary, the meaning of the name and what others call him or her. ALL CHARACTERS ARE LISTED IN THE ORDER OF APPEARANCE, not based on importance (so this way, we will not spoil who the male lead is…hehe). This list will be updated every time a new name appears or when more information is revealed about the old characters, so come back to this page and check often~ Have fun reading^_^*
江湖路弯弯 Jiang Hu Road is Curved-Character List
***
★Pang Wan 庞弯★：the female lead of the novel; Sheng Gu of Bai Yue Sect. Still maintaining memories of her previous life on the land of Mary Sue, Pang Wan still thinks her current life will continue to go Mary Sue…but she will eventually learn how to face the reality…
Surname: 庞(Páng) – means enormous
Given name: 弯(wān) – curvy
-弯弯 (wān wān): It is common in Chinese for people to make nicknames by repeating a character in someone’s name to show intimacy. 弯弯 also happens to mean curved; thus referring back to the title of the novel 《江湖路弯弯》 (Jiang Hu Road is Curved).
-圣姑 (Shèng Gū): “Holy Lady” is how sect members and other people address her position. Sheng Gu exists as an important representation of the sect, serving both as a leader and a mascot.
-师妹 (Shī mèi): female underclassmen/ junior sister. Sometimes Nan Yi calls Pang Wan Shi Mei, which means a girl who entered the same sect or same school later than he did. Now, people usually adress underclassmen as 学妹(girls) or 学弟(boys).
*chapter 4:庞(Páng)弯弯 sounds like 胖(Pàng)弯弯, which means fat and curvy.
2. Rong Gu-Gu 容姑姑： caretaker of Pang Wan; one of the 12 most skilled masters of Bai Yue.
容(Róng) is her name (unsure of surname or given name)
姑姑(Gūgū) is not her name but a intimate title that Pang Wan calls her, which means aunt or elder women from the same sect.
– 容姑(Róng Gū): with only one Gu, this is a formal title that Lord You uses to address her, more like “Ms. Rong”.
-容儿(Róng Er): Adding an “Er” at the end of a name also makes an intimate nickname. She calls herself this. People from the same generation who are close to her can also use this nickname.
