Sun Shang Xiang Wikipedia

Sun Shang Xiang (zh-tsp|t=孫尚香 |s=孙尚香 |p=Sūn Sh?ngxiāng) (184 – ?), was the youngest daughter of Sun Jian and Lady Wu, also known as Sun Ren(Lady Sun). She had several siblings but the most recognized were Sun Ce and Sun Quan. She was often portrayed as as a tomboy who always had fencing handmaidens outside her rice-paper chambers.

Sun Quan planned to marry Sun Shang Xiang to Liu Bei to solidify their alliance. The marriage turned out to be a trap created by Zhou Yu to try to force Liu Bei to return Jingzhou. Liu Bei and Sun Shang Xiang fled Wu. Her scolding of the Wu officers played an important contribution to their escape.

Later, Sun Shang Xiang wanted to return to Wu with her stepson Liu Shan in order to tend to her mother, while Liu Bei was away campaigning in Yizhou. Sun Quan planned to use Liu Shan as ransom. Prominent Shu officers went and retrieved Liu Shan. Sun Shang Xiang however continued onwards towards Wu.

After the battle of Yi Ling, when she was told of Liu Bei's death, she threw herself into a river and drowned.

Sun Shang Xiang appears in the popular video game, Dynasty Warriors, where she wields chakram as weapons. She was never mentioned wielding weapons but her persona in the game suits her actual personality in the novel.
