Duan Wanqing

The legitimate daughter of the Duke of Loyalty's Mansion of Dali, and Duan Zhixiu's younger sister.

When the Mao Prefecture tribes of Tubo raided caravans and extorted envoys, the Dali royal house, devout in Buddhism and wary of war, decided on a marriage alliance. They conferred the title Lady Ningyang on the Duke of Loyalty's legitimate daughter and sent the palace expert Li Ziqiong, Left Commandant of the Imperial Guard, "Tiansi Shuangyanben", to escort her with eighty picked soldiers of the Inner Discipline Camp. Duan Zhixiu could not bear to see his eleven-year-old sister married off to a barbarian land, so he and the Ye siblings plotted to ambush the Lady's carriage.

After she is rescued, she shows no gratitude at all, and even wants to make Ye Yunshang her maid.

Notes

• She later becomes Ye Yunshang's Inner Demon, appearing in her dreams.
