Shen Mingtang's legitimate elder sister, who is actually Qin Shi's biological daughter despite being raised by Concubine Zhou. She is fourteen years old and ambitious, having threatened Shen Mingtang in private to request the County Princess title for herself rather than for their family. When Shen Mingtang instead requested a title for Qin Shi, Shen Mingyue was publicly humiliated in front of the Empress and lost her chance at the County Princess title. She is described as having a snide nature and monopolized two courtyards in the Shen residence. She lives in Xiaoxiang Courtyard near Zhou Yiniang's quarters and reacted violently when Mama Yu slapped her for having no manners.
