Female, Zhou Heng's paternal aunt and Xu Rusheng's father's wife (stepmother). She was secretly involved with Xu Jingyuan and bore Zhou Songyi. She murdered Xu Rusheng's mother (Empress Wen's sister) by ensuring she died on the road back to the capital after visiting relatives, because the mother's noble Wen clan background prevented Princess Chunyi from easily replacing her. She also framed Xu Rusheng for attempting to poison Zhou Songyi and physically assaulted Xu Rusheng. She orchestrated the poisoning of Empress Wen with Qingtuoluo.
