Mah, I don't think so, in these novel all people (aside from mob characters) are beautiful, enemies, friends, siblings and so on. I don't believe in "inner beauty shines", cuz in many chinese novels I see a lot of abusive relations treated as normal or love at first sight and so on, the first sets a bad example, the latter is a childish hope.
Beauty, like any other quality, is not a guarantee of good hearth or fair judgment, is just a gift of nature. I can love someone for his/her actions, not simply because he/she has beautiful appearance like a painting or I'd rather marry Primavera of Botticelli XD
