Ling Wen, also known as Ling Wen Zhen Jun, is the foremost Civil Goddess in the Heavenly Court and one of the notorious Three Tumors.

Ling Wen is a Civil God known for being peerlessly competent and effective in her work. She is noted to be very professional and emotionless when speaking. Despite commonly depicted to be polite and capable of staying calm in any situation, Ling Wen displays a dry, sarcastic sense of humor that shone most visibly when she is with Xie Lian or, more prominently, with Pei Ming and Shi Wudu, her two closest friends. In front of the latter two she could be ruthless, laughing at their harmless misfortunes but would also show affection and worry on their behalf. The Palace of Ling Wen has many temples built in her name but most of these temples revered her as a male god because of the denial and disapproval that a woman can become a good Civil Officer, which is the reason Ling Wen is disliked by other civil gods as female Heavenly Officials are few and are only expected to grind ink, lay out paper and look pretty. Behind her back, they speculated she gained her position through aggressive boot-licking, seducing the higher power, disguising herself as a man or a combination of all three.
