Wife of Xu Yonghe (second son). She was pregnant on the day Xu Zhitao was born. She and Guo Hongying fought, resulting in Zhang Zhaodi losing her child and suffering a massive hemorrhage that required uterus removal. She became deranged, often mistaking Xu Zhitao for her own lost child and sneaking her away. After Guo Hongying divorced and left, Zhang Zhaodi had a severe episode but upon waking two days later, her madness was gone and she completely forgot about Xu Zhitao, devoting herself to helping care for Chang'an.
