In the long history of China, there is such a figure, who became the focus of history because of a woman. He is Wu Sangui, and that red face is the peerless beauty Chen Yuanyuan. Wu Sangui is a highly controversial figure on the stage of history. He was not only an outstanding military general, but also a politician who played an important role in the course of history.

Chen Yuanyuan was originally Tian Wan's concubine, but was later loved by Wu Sangui, and then became his favorite concubine. However, after Li Zicheng captured Beijing, Chen Yuanyuan was taken captive by Liu Zongmin, which made Wu Sangui furious, and then surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, opened the gate of Shanhaiguan, and triggered the historical event of the Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs.
