Empress He

Empress He was the daughter of a mere butcher, before she became the consort of Emperor Ling. She was the mother of Emperor Han Shao and half-sister of He Jin. In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, she poisons Lady Wang out of jealousy when Wang bears the Emperor a son, Prince Xie. She is greedy and power-hungry and allows herself to be corrupted by The Ten Attendants, to the point that she turns on her own brother.
