Sun Luyu

Sun Luyu (onyomi: Son Roiku) is the youngest daughter of Wu Emperor Sun Quan. She became embroiled in a political dispute with her older sister Sun Luban who framed her for conspiring against the regent Sun Jun, leading to her execution.

Role in Games
Sun Luyu makes her debut as a recruitable officer in the twelfth Romance of the Three Kingdoms title. While she is mostly suited for intellectual or political tasks, her stats are slightly inferior to her sister's. The game lists her birth and death years as 204 and 250 respectively.

Historical Information
Sun Luyu was the second offspring of Sun Quan and his favorite wife, Lady Bu. Like her sister, she married two men throughout her lifetime. Her first husband, the scholar Zhu Ju, was fooled into commiting suicide for supporting Sun He. Through him, she gave birth to Lady Zhu who would eventually become empress dowager. Her second husband was Liu Zuan, a vassal of the Sun family.

She opposed Sun Luban's efforts to oust Sun He as their father's successor in favor of Sun Ba, causing the court to split into two opposing factions. Not wanting a succession crisis in his hands, Sun Quan ended the feud by banishing Sun He and ordering Sun Ba's death by suicide. When Sun Ying and Sun Yi staged a failed coup d'état against Sun Jun in 255, Sun Luyu was accused as one of the ringleaders by her sister. She was executed for treason and buried at Shizigang.

According to the Book of Wu, Sun Hao employed two shamans to find Sun Luyu's grave in hopes of reburying her. They supposedly encountered a female spirit who led them to an unmarked burial site. Upon opening the grave, it was discovered that the interred body and the reported spirit matched the late Sun Luyu's description.
