Chen Xuan'ang's grandmother. She was brought by the Hu family to bear a child since their eldest madam was barren, and she gave birth to Hu Yin (Chen Xuan'ang's mother). After the revolution, she reclaimed her daughter and became known in North City as the Living White-Haired Girl. Publicly she appears saintly, but privately she is vicious—demanding Chen Xuan'ang hand over hidden family valuables after Hu Yin's death, and accusing him of problematic thoughts to the authorities, having him sent to the boiler room for re-education. She is the root cause of Chen Xuan'ang's lifelong misfortune and took all the family's valuables.
