Huang Yueying (? - 234) is the fictional name for the wife of the Shu strategist Zhuge Liang, and daughter of Huang Chengyan. Her true name is unknown, as no name for Zhuge Liang’s wife survives in history.
The lack of historical information about Zhuge Liang’s wife did not prevent folk traditions from creating a name and a personality for her. She was known to be quite unattractive, but this was a rumor she spread so men would admire her for the abilities she carried and not her beauty. It is said that she was extraordinarily plain (with several pits on her face), but was very talented. The only man who could see past her ruse was Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang pursued her when he heard tales of her wisdom.

Zhuge Liang married her before he joined Liu Bei. She was never thought of as a great beauty, and her father even said she wasn’t beautiful; therefore when Zhuge Liang asked for her hand in marriage everyone was surprised. He simply stated that he married her not for her beauty but for her wits.

According to one legend, she had invented wooden animals that moved like real ones. Zhuge Liang was so amazed by her inventions that he fell in love with her brilliant mind.
