Biography & Historical Record

Wife of Sima Fang (司马防之妻, Vợ Tư Mã Phòng) is the site’s label for the unnamed wife of Eastern Han official Sima Fang (司马防, Tư Mã Phòng) and the mother of the Eight Sons of Sima Fang (司马八达), including Sima Yi (司马懿, Tư Mã Ý) and Sima Lang (司马朗, Tư Mã Lãng). Sanguozhi and Pei Songzhi name the sons’ careers but never write this woman’s surname or given name.

She belongs to the cultivated Henei household at Wen County that raised eight brothers known by their courtesy-order names — Boda, Zhongda, Shuda, Jida, Xianda, Yingda, Jingda, and Youda. The site uses the descriptive title so she can sit in the Family wiki beside Sima Fang and her sons without inventing a game-era personal name.

Role in Romance of the Three Kingdoms

The novel never names Sima Yi’s mother. Her role is implicit in the brothers’ shared pedigree when Sima Yi enters Wei service.
