Lady Xu (徐氏, 2nd century) was a Chinese noble woman during the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period. She was married to Sun Yi, who was the brother of Sun Quan, the founder of the Eastern Wu state. She was also the mother of Sun Song. Her true name has been lost to history. Lady Xu was known for her beauty and skill in I Ching, a divination technique. She created a plan and secretly conspired with other generals to ambush and kill her husband's assassins, killing them one by one. Her deeds made her honored and admired throughout the empire.
She was acclaimed as a woman of extraordinary courage and loyalty, unwaveringly devoted to her family and sovereign amidst the escalating desertions and betrayals of the chaotic period preceding the formation of the Three Kingdoms; orchestrating the execution of traitors while simultaneously safeguarding the territory of the Sun clan against the traitors' attempt to deliver it to a rival warlord.
