The madam of the Gu residence, married to Gu Yushi for over twelve years. She is described as beautiful with elegant eyes and brows, though time has added fine lines to her face. She manages the household entirely and has never borne a child. Once deeply affectionate toward her husband, she has grown increasingly distant and silent as their relationship deteriorated. She caught a chill standing by the window in the rain and developed a high fever. She is proud, dignified, and refuses to beg for attention. She finally demands a divorce after years of emotional neglect.
