Origin and Story of 醇酒美人
During the Warring States period, the Zhao kingdom was besieged by Qin forces. Lord Pingyuan of Zhao sought aid from the Wei kingdom.
King Wei dispatched General Jin Bi with an army, but Jin Bi hesitated to act due to pressure from Qin.
Prince Xinlingjun of Wei secretly obtained the tiger tally, killed Jin Bi, and personally led the Wei army to rescue Zhao.
Later, due to a counter-espionage plot by the King of Qin, Xinlingjun was removed from his position by the King of Wei.
Feeling disheartened and unable to contribute, he then indulged himself in a life of fine wine and beautiful women.
