Meiren Zhou is a concubine in the Eastern Palace, a female cannon fodder with a sharp tongue and cunning nature. She sneers at Meiren Lin as a 'fox spirit' and lacks the strategy to survive, dying earlier than Gu Ningning in the original plot. She attempts to compete for favor by dancing at Gu Ningning's gate but slips on ice left by Gu Ningning, injuring her ankle. Her ambition and rivalry make her a temporary threat, but her downfall is swift.
