Female supporting character. She was Fang Fuyi's biological mother but not the legal wife. She had been kept as a mistress for years under a murky, unofficial status. She lived in a villa in the suburbs, took good care of herself, and appeared ageless—a delicate and patient beauty described as a pretty ornament. She waited decades for Fang Fuyi's father to divorce his wife, then waited until she could have a son before officially entering the Fang family. She took her son (Fang Fuyi's brother) when the family fled abroad, leaving Fang Fuyi behind.
