卞夫人 / Lady Bian (Cao Cao)

卞夫人 / Lady Bian enters the wiki through Hanji 1014 as one of 曹操’s named wives. The episode identifies her as the woman who later becomes formal wife after 丁夫人’s break with Cao Cao.

The source says Lady Bian bears four legitimate sons. It does not use the episode to build a full succession account, so this page keeps her role source-scoped: she matters here as the household figure who follows Lady Ding in status and links the opening wife-list to Cao Cao’s family order.

  • 丁夫人 - original wife whose rupture precedes Lady Bian’s later position.
