Historical Information
Sun Luban was born to Sun Quan and his favorite wife, Lady Bu. When her first husband Zhou Xun suddenly passed away, she ended up marrying Grand Administrator Quan Cong of Xu Province. Throughout their marriage, she gave birth to Quan Yi and Quan Wu.

When Sun Quan became bedridden due to old age, a political struggle erupted between Sun Luban and her younger sister Sun Luyu over who would claim the throne. The ambitious Sun Luban challenged Sun He's right to rule by petitioning their half-brother Sun Ba as heir apparent in a bid to manipulate the court by proxy. Sun Luyu, on the other hand, supported Sun Quan's chosen successor. Sun Luban was determined to undermine Sun He's position by slandering him and his mother Lady Wang, causing the latter to die from anxiety. Fed up with the succession crisis, Sun Quan ordered Sun Ba to commit suicide while sending Sun He into exile in 250.

Sun Luban immediately threw her support to the young Sun Liang, even arranging a marriage between him and a female relative from her husband's family. She also began an affair with her distant cousin Sun Jun who was appointed as Sun Liang's regent. Together, the two of them consolidated much power from the court while disposing their enemies. Sun Luban in particular took this opportunity to have her sister executed under the pretext of conspiring against Sun Jun. She was eventually banished to Yuzhang by Sun Chen who turned against Sun Liang in favor of Sun Xiu.
