李源妹妹 / 李元妹妹 / Li Yuan’s Sister
李源妹妹 / Li Yuan’s sister enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》109-1｜历史上最著名的皇帝被“绿”了 as the woman at the center of the 楚国 succession plot around 楚考烈王 and 黄歇 / 春申君. The source does not develop her independent biography; her political role is mediated through 李源’s ambition, Chunshenjun’s fear, and Mi Wan’s lack of a son.
Her agency still matters inside the episode’s chain. After becoming pregnant by Chunshenjun, she is the person who argues that Mi Wan’s childlessness could destroy Chunshenjun if another royal branch succeeds, and that presenting her to the king could make Chunshenjun’s biological child the legal heir. The episode therefore makes her both instrument and persuader in 孕身继承替换.
After Mi Wan accepts her, she bears a son who is made crown prince, and she becomes queen. That elevation makes her brother powerful, but it also creates the secret that later motivates Li Yuan’s plan to eliminate Chunshenjun.
《资治通鉴·秦纪》109-2｜春申君被皇帝大舅哥全族灭门 adds the sequel and a source-scoped genealogy complication. The episode cites 《史记》’s Chu material to say she bore two sons to 楚考烈王, while the host treats the crown prince as Chunshenjun’s biological child and a younger son as the king’s biological child, with another older half-brother also in the background. After Mi Wan dies, her brother kills Chunshenjun and his family, her son becomes 楚幽王, and the Li siblings control 楚国’s court.
