聶孝女，字舜英，尚書左右司員外郎天驥之長女也。 Nie Xiaonü, styled Shunying, was the eldest daughter of Tianji, associate administrator of the Left and Right Offices of the Secretariat.

及哀宗遷歸德，天驥留汴。 When Emperor Aizong moved to Guide, Tianji remained in Bian (Kaifeng).

崔立劫殺宰相，天驥被創甚，日夜悲泣，恨不即死。 Cui Li seized and murdered the chief councilor; Tianji was gravely wounded, wept day and night, and wished only that he might die.

舜英謁醫救療百方，至刲其股雜他肉以進，而天驥竟死。 Shunying sought every physician and remedy, even cutting flesh from her thigh and mixing it with other meat for him to eat, but Tianji died all the same.
