Heng'e is the wife of Da Yi, a woman of extraordinary beauty with fair skin and lustrous black hair. She appears gentle and virtuous, having cleanly maintained their home. She bows politely to Du Yu and helps by offering knowledge of the local villagers, claiming she knows everyone in the village. She expresses doubt about Du Yu's claims regarding the suns, and in a whispered conversation with Da Yi, she cautions him to stay uninvolved, suggesting that Du Yu should figure out a way himself. She is protective of her husband and their simple life. Though her role is minor, she is a key figure in the original myth as the future Moon goddess, but in this story, she remains a mortal woman unaware of what lies ahead. Her interaction reveals the domestic dynamic and the resistance to change.
