The Empress Dowager and leader of the Su Faction. She is a devout vegetarian who often invited people to conduct rituals at the Palace of Benevolent Tranquility since the Crown Prince fell into a coma. She harbored deep hatred for Shang Guanqi, believing he was responsible for the Crown Prince's fall from his horse. She drugged Jiang Lige with an aphrodisiac in an attempt to compromise her. She wanted her niece Su Luo to become Empress and sought double insurance by drugging Jiang Lige before the consort selection. She invited a Shaman for ritual ceremonies.
