Unfeeling 绝情
All of Zhang Chunhua's damage is considered to be the target losing health.
Mourning 伤逝
Whenever the number of cards in Zhang Chunhua's hand falls below the number of units of health that she has lost, she may draw cards until she has as many hand cards as she has units of health missing.
This ability does not activate during her discard phase.
There are some tricky situations with the timing of "Mourning." For example, if Zhang Chunhua uses a Peach to heal herself, "Mourning" triggers before the health is recovered. If she has two cards and one unit of health, she draws one card immediately when using the Peach, leaving her with two cards and two health. "Mourning" kicks in before the Peach’s effect is fully resolved.
"Unfeeling" is mandatory, so Zhang Chunhua cannot choose to avoid triggering it when causing damage. Her damage is always treated as the target losing health, which can impact how other abilities respond.
"Mourning" is triggered whenever Zhang Chunhua loses hand cards or takes damage. It can be highly useful defensively when under heavy attack or subject to card destruction effects.
If Zhang Chunhua kills a rebel, she does not draw the usual three cards. Similarly, if she is the king and kills a loyalist, she does not discard all of her hand cards, as "Unfeeling" negates such effects.
Zhang Chunhua’s damage is not elemental, meaning that she never triggers chain damage. For example, she can damage characters using Wood Armor, as her damage bypasses the usual effects of elemental defense.
The following weapon abilities cannot be activated by Zhang Chunhua:
Ice Sword:
The weapon's ability allows the wielder to prevent damage and discard two cards after an attack causes damage. Since Zhang Chunhua’s damage is always health loss, she cannot trigger this effect because her attacks never cause actual damage.
Ancient Scimitar:
This weapon activates when the target has no hand cards, causing an extra unit of damage. However, because Zhang Chunhua’s damage is health loss, the Ancient Scimitar will not trigger this ability, even when her target has no hand cards.
Longbow:
The Longbow discards an equipped horse if the attack causes damage. Since Zhang Chunhua’s health loss doesn't count as actual damage, she cannot discard horses when using the Longbow.

"Unfeeling" allows Zhang Chunhua to counter powerful characters that rely on taking damage to trigger their abilities, such as gods or other special characters.
"Mourning" helps Zhang Chunhua recover cards in tough situations, particularly when losing hand cards or health. This ability ensures that even when attacked, she can maintain a healthy hand size, providing strong defensive capabilities.
Zhang Chunhua cannot guarantee the presence of opponents with damage-activated abilities. This limits the overall utility of "Unfeeling" in many games, particularly if her opponents' abilities are not affected by her power.
While Zhang Chunhua's abilities are strong defensively, they do not offer much offensive power. This can make it difficult to take down key targets, as she has little way of controlling or advancing game tactics beyond survival.
Card-Givers:
Characters like Ma Dai can help Zhang Chunhua by reducing her maximum health, thus increasing her chances of activating "Mourning" and drawing cards. This interaction allows her to stay competitive in situations where card flow is vital.
Damage-Triggered Characters:
Zhang Chunhua naturally counters characters like Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Ma Chao. Her "Unfeeling" ability negates the benefit of their damage-based abilities, allowing her to neutralize them effectively.
Zhang Chunhua can be a good choice for the king role, thanks to the defensive benefits of "Unfeeling" and her ability to maintain a full hand with "Mourning." However, the inability to draw extra cards after killing rebels can be a hindrance. Her defensive nature will likely prolong the game, allowing her to hold her own for long periods.
Zhang Chunhua's suitability as a loyalist depends largely on the king's identity. If the king is Cao Cao or Cao Pi, Zhang Chunhua's ability becomes a weakness, as she will not activate their powers when dealing damage. However, she can be effective if the rebels rely heavily on damage-triggered abilities.
As a rebel, Zhang Chunhua is best used when the king has damage-activated abilities like Cao Cao or Cao Pi. She can exploit their reliance on these abilities by neutralizing them with "Unfeeling." If this condition is not met, Zhang Chunhua’s power becomes less impactful.
Zhang Chunhua can be an effective spy thanks to her defensive prowess. She is difficult to kill, and other players are likely to ignore her until late in the game. However, her lack of offensive options makes it hard for her to turn the tide once one faction gains the upper hand.
Zhang Chunhua is a formidable defensive character with a unique ability to counter damage-activated powers. However, her utility depends on the presence of characters that rely on such abilities, and she struggles in games where these characters are absent. Her defensive capabilities are enhanced by "Mourning," which allows her to recover cards even when under pressure. Despite her strengths, Zhang Chunhua’s lack of offensive power can make it difficult to advance aggressive strategies, but she shines in games where survival is key.
Zhang Chunhua was the wife of Sima Yi, one of the most powerful generals and strategists of the Three Kingdoms era. Her most famous story reflects her intelligence and loyalty during a time of extreme danger. At one point, Sima Yi was pretending to be ill to avoid suspicion from his enemies. One day, a maid discovered Sima Yi's secret, which could have exposed his plans and jeopardized his life. In a moment of cold resolve, Zhang Chunhua killed the maid to ensure her husband’s ruse remained intact and his life was saved. This ruthless act of loyalty reflects the "Unfeeling" nature of her game abilities, as she is willing to cause harm without hesitation to protect her interests.
Zhang Chunhua’s story ties into her card abilities through her unsentimental resolve and sharp wit. Her willingness to act in defense of her family mirrors her gameplay, where she is best used defensively to shield herself and her allies from harm.
