Also known as Lady Wen, she is Yu Lingxin's birth mother. After giving birth to Yu Lingxin, she was disgraced and demoted, sent to labor in Shanglin Garden on the outskirts of the capital. She went mad within a few years. Her mind is now that of a seven- or eight-year-old child. She was once a peerless beauty who captured the favor of the entire harem, but her family background was lowly. After other consorts presented her son's aberrant birth as an evil omen, the late emperor banished her to Shanglin Garden. Before leaving the palace, other consorts had eunuchs slash her face, leaving vicious scars on each cheek. Yu Lingxin is said to share her looks.
