Although initially rejected, they eventually establish a romantic relationship. Liang Jingru: A Pursuer Character. Liang Jingru is also Zhou Ziqing's classmate and one of his suitors. She and He Ling (another suitor) both deeply love Zhou Ziqing, but Zhou Ziqing clearly states that he only considers them friends and that he truly loves Lü Wenya. Liang Jingru is cheerful and often takes the initiative to approach Zhou Ziqing, even declaring that she "would not marry anyone but Ziqing," and that if she couldn't marry him, she would rather become a nun in a mountain her home. In the novel, Lü Wenya, as Zhou Ziqing's official girlfriend, forms a love triangle with Liang Jingru and He Ling. Although Liang Jingru knows that Zhou Ziqing likes Lü Wenya, she still doesn't give up pursuing her, and she is both a good friend and a rival to He Ling.
