Story:
During the Han Dynasty, the Li family, including three siblings from Zhongshan, came to the capital city Chang'an to seek opportunities.
Li Yannian, one of the brothers, entered the imperial music bureau. He famously praised his sister to Emperor Wu of Han, describing her as an unparalleled beauty, whose single glance could charm a city and a second glance could bring down a kingdom.
Emperor Wu was greatly pleased and summoned Li Yannian's sister. He eventually made her a favored consort, and she later gave birth to Liu He, the King of Changyi. Emperor Wu deeply cherished this exceptionally beautiful lady.
