Lady Sun 孫夫人

In Chapter 54 of the Romance, Zhou Yu, hearing that Liu Bei had lost Lady Gan, said that Sun Quan's younger sister was exceedingly firm and brave, kept several hundred maidservants, always went about wearing a sword, and had her room filled with weapons. Zhou Yu devised a plan to use the marriage as bait to lure Liu Bei to Nanxu, imprison him and exchange him for Jing Province, and Sun Quan sent Lü Fan as matchmaker. Lü Fan conveyed that the Marquis of Wu's sister always said she would serve no one who was not a hero of the realm. Romance, Ch. 54 §12–13 · 15–16 · 19–20

When Liu Bei reached Nanxu in the 10th month, in winter, of the 14th year of Jian'an (209), Dowager Wu, who had heard the news from Qiao Guolao, scolded Sun Quan and rebuked Zhou Yu for using her daughter as bait in a beauty trap. At Ganlu Temple Dowager Wu saw Liu Bei and was greatly pleased. A few days later Lady Sun and Liu Bei held their wedding, but the bridal chamber bristled with spears and swords and the maidservants all stood in rows wearing swords, so that Liu Bei was frightened out of his wits.

In Chapter 55 Lady Sun laughed, asking whether one who had spent half his life on the battlefield was still afraid of weapons, and had the weapons removed. Near the end of the year, when Liu Bei shed tears after hearing Zhao Yun's report, Lady Sun said she had already heard that Jing Province was in danger and that she would follow him wherever he went, and devised the plan of leaving on the pretext of offering sacrifices to his ancestors at the riverside during the New Year's greetings. On New Year's Day of the 15th year of Jian'an (210), Lady Sun obtained Dowager Wu's permission and left Nanxu together with Liu Bei. Romance, Ch. 55 §1–2 · 7–15

At the border of Chaisang, when Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, sent by Zhou Yu, blocked the road, Liu Bei confessed that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu had used her as bait to imprison him. Lady Sun herself denounced Zhou Yu as a traitor and drove off the two generals, and she rebuked Chen Wu and Pan Zhang, who came in pursuit, saying that she and her husband were returning to Jing Province on her mother's orders, and made them withdraw. Sun Quan gave a sword to Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai and ordered them to bring back the heads of his sister and Liu Bei, but the party boarded the boats with which Zhuge Liang had been waiting at Liulang Inlet.

In Chapter 61, while Liu Bei was far away at the head of his army, Sun Quan, following Zhang Zhao's plan, sent Zhou Shan to deliver a secret letter saying that the Dowager was gravely ill. Lady Sun boarded a boat with the seven-year-old A Dou, but Zhao Yun leapt aboard and took A Dou from her, and Zhang Fei cut down Zhou Shan and threw his head before her. When she said she would throw herself into the river if they did not let her go back, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun took only A Dou and let her boats go. Sun Quan, saying that now that his sister had returned they were no longer kin to Liu Bei, discussed attacking Jing Province. Romance, Ch. 61 §10–14 · 17–23 · 26
