Origin and Story of 绝世独立
During the Han Dynasty, three siblings from the Li family in Zhongshan came to the capital city of Chang'an to develop their careers.
Li Yannian joined the Imperial Music Bureau. He highly recommended his younger sister to Emperor Wu, describing her as a peerless beauty whose charm could captivate a city at first glance and an entire kingdom upon a second look.
Emperor Wu was greatly pleased and summoned Li Yannian's sister, whom he then elevated to the rank of a lady ("夫人"). She later gave birth to Liu He, the King of Changyi. Emperor Wu cherished this exquisitely beautiful lady immensely.
