Liang Hongyu

Liang Hongyu was the wife of a mighty Song Dynasty general, Han Shizhong. She was a prostitue and had suffered under a tyrannical procuress. Han Shizhong was a just man who came to her rescue. When they met, he was a low ranking soldier who was in no position to marry her and it was only later, after he was made a general, that he and Liang Hongyu were formally married. In Han Shizhong's eyes, Liang Hongyu was far superior to the other girls who had been forced into her profession.
