Even in home territory he was afraid that Lady Sun would cause trouble." Liu Bei's adviser Zhuge Liang once said: "When our lord was in Gong'an, he dreaded Cao Cao's influence in the north and feared Sun Quan's presence in the east. Liu Bei was also suspicious and fearful of Lady Sun. She had more than a hundred female servants who carried swords and stood guard outside her room. Lady Sun was known to be wise and shrewd, and tough and fierce in character, much like her brother Sun Quan.
The marriage probably took place at Gong'an County because it was the provincial capital of Jing Province and Liu Bei was nominally serving as the provincial governor at the time. Her personal name was not recorded in history.ĭuring 209, Lady Sun married the warlord Liu Bei to strengthen an alliance between Liu Bei and Sun Quan. She had four brothers who were also born to Lady Wu – Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Sun Yi and Sun Kuang. Lady Sun was the only daughter of Sun Jian and Lady Wu. But her brother Sun Quan decided to take advantage of their friendship as a means to take down Shu and had his sister join Liu Bei's forces, however her bond with the Shu Empress was so strong that it left Sun Shang Xiang torn into between either betraying her best friend or turning her back on her own home kingdom. Everything changed one day when she met Liu Bei, who treated Sun Shang Xiang warmly and comforted her in any way she could. She is constantly looked down on the people who bullied or manipulated her. Sun Shang Xiang is depicted as a depressed and insecure woman who believes that the misfortunes caused around her is her fault.
