Sheng Shuwan is Song Hexiu's wife and the mother of Song Chuman and Song Chuhuai. She is pregnant with another child at the start of the story. She is gentle, caring, and protective of her children. When her daughter is returned after the sacrifice, she holds her tightly and weeps, begging Li Cuicui to call a physician. She is locked in her room by her mother-in-law to prevent her from intervening, but later she remains loyal to her husband and supports the decision to separate from the family. She is skilled in embroidery and plans to use that skill to earn money after they move out. She also keeps a jade pendant from her own maiden family, hinting at a possibly wealthier background that she is reluctant to discuss. Her quiet strength and devotion to her family provide emotional stability during the crisis.
