However, behind the back of history, Diao Chan's true identity and motives have always been a mystery.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Cao Cao named her the king of Wei, a move that reflected her important position in the Cao family and even the entire Wei state.
Secondly, Mrs. Bian's cleverness and wisdom are also reflected in her letters.

Xu was the concubine of Sun Quan, the Great Emperor of Eastern Wu, and she was also Sun Quan's cousin niece. Xu's father, Xu Kun, is Sun Quan's cousin, and Xu's grandmother is Sun Quan's aunt. Therefore, according to the seniority, the Xu family has to call Sun Quan a cousin. Xu was born in the Xu family of Wu County, which is a big family, her cultivation is excellent, and her appearance is also beautiful and moving.
Originally, Xu married Lu Shang from a family surnamed Lu in Wu County, but Lu Shang's untimely death made Xu a widow. After that, Sun Quan began to take care of the Xu family, and the two gradually developed a relationship, and finally Sun Quan married the Xu family as a concubine. Xu gave birth to three sons, Sun He, Sun Ba, and Sun Hao, for Sun Quan.
In Sun Quan's harem, the Xu family was once snubbed, but after Mrs. Xie was deposed, she became Sun Quan's second wife. However, Xu's position in the palace was not secure, and she was once deposed by Sun Quan because of jealousy. Later, Sun Quan moved the capital to Jianye, and the Xu family stayed in Wu County, and there is no record in the history books since.
In general, the relationship between Xu and Sun Quan is complicated, not only a cousin-nephew relationship, but also a husband and wife relationship. Xu's position in the Eastern Wu harem also experienced ups and downs, and her fate was closely tied to Sun Quan's relationship with other harem women.
9. Da Qiao: Sun Ce's wife
Da Qiao, whose real name is Qiao, was the wife of Sun Ce in Jiangdong in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and was born in Anhui County, Lujiang County (now Qianshan City, Anhui Province).
Da Qiao and his sister Xiao Qiao are both known for their beauty and are known as "Jiangdong Erqiao". In history, Da Qiao married Sun Ce, one of the founders of Eastern Wu, and Xiao Qiao became the wife of Zhou Yu, a famous general of Eastern Wu. Their marriage united the two major forces in Jiangdong at that time, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and this marriage was of great significance in the political environment of the time.
However, Big Joe's personal life is not happy. According to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Sun Ce died shortly after the conquest of Anhui City, and Da Qiao fell into deep grief as a result. Legend has it that after Sun Ce's death, Da Qiao wept for months and died. While these stories add many legends, they also reflect the vulnerable position of women in the political turmoil of the time.
In cultural works, the image of Da Qiao is mostly depicted as a beautiful and tragic figure. She was mistakenly remembered as "Joe" in Luo Guanzhong's ** "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", rather than her real surname "Qiao". In modern times, the image of Da Qiao has also appeared in various TV series, movies, games, and other works of art, becoming one of the representatives of ancient Chinese beauty.
Overall, Da Joe's life is full of legends, and although her beauty and talent have earned her a momentary fame, her life is also full of ups and downs and tragedies. Her story not only reflects the social status of women during the Three Kingdoms period, but also serves as an inspiration for later generations of literary and artistic creations**.

According to the "Three Kingdoms, Wu Shujiu, Zhou Yu Biography", in the third year of Jian'an (198), Zhou Yu assisted Sun Ce in capturing Anhui County and obtained the two daughters of Qiaogong, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. Among them, Zhou Yuna Xiao Qiao is a concubine, and Sun Zena Da Qiao is a concubine. Zhou Yu was only thirty-six years old when he died, so it is speculated that Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu lived together for only twelve years. Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu had two sons and a daughter, of which the daughter married Sun Deng, the eldest son of Sun Quan, and became the queen, and the son Princess Xunshang, who worshiped the captain, had the demeanor of Zhou Yu, but died early; Xun's younger brother Yin, first worshiped the captain of Xingye, and later married the daughter of the clan as his wife, awarded thousands of soldiers, and stationed in public security.
There are many legends about Little Joe's grave site, but the actual tomb site is no longer verifiable. Later generations have done a lot of artistic processing and legends on Xiao Qiao's life deeds, making her an important image in literature and art.

In the third year of the early Huang dynasty (222), Queen Guo was made empress and became the first empress of the Cao Wei Dynasty.
Queen Guo has a frugal personality and is not good, and she often admires the Eastern Han Dynasty Mingdema as a person.

According to historical records, she returned to her hometown after Sun Ce conquered Wu County and Huiji County, and helped Sun Ce to govern the country when he consolidated his rule in Jiangdong, saving many famous people.
However, Wu's life was also full of misfortunes, as she experienced the grief of losing her father at an early age, her husband in middle age, and her son. Despite this, she remained a strong supporter of her sons and contributed to the establishment and stability of the Sun-Wu regime.
In the seventh year of Jian'an (202), Wu died, which was undoubtedly a major blow to Sun Quan and his rule. Still, Wu's life and her contributions to the Sun-Wu regime remain historical chapters that cannot be ignored.

For example, in the board game "Three Kingdoms", Xiahou is designed as a female military general of the Shu forces, and her character is based on Zhang Fei's wife, Mrs. Xiahou.
