Daji is featured in the Chinese novel Fengshen Yanyi as a major antagonist.
She was the first featured corrupter of the declining Shang dynasty in the novel.
Her father Su Hu gave her to King Zhou of Shang as an appeasement offer after armed conflict broke out between Su's and Shang military forces.

One night before Daji was sent to the capital city of Zhaoge, she was possessed by an evil nine-tailed fox spirit (aka Thousand-Year-Old Vixen).
When Daji arrived in Zhaoge, she became the center of attention of King Zhou and caused the king to be extremely obsessed with her.
King Zhou neglected state affairs to keep her company and ignored the advice of his subjects.
Yunzhongzi was the first man to act against Daji by giving the king a magical peach-wood sword which would make Daji ill and kill her eventually.
She rose above the ranks from a minor concubine to become the queen based on the king's favoritism towards her.

Daji was blamed for the fall of the Shang dynasty by corrupting King Zhou and causing him to neglect state affairs and rule with tyranny and despotism.
This ultimately led to the dynasty's decline and widespread chaos.
King Zhou's tyranny incurred the anger and resentment of the common people, who eventually rose up in revolt against him under King Wu of Zhou's leadership.
After the fall of the Shang dynasty, Daji was exorcised by Jiang Ziya (aka Jiang Taigong) and died eventually.
