Story:
After Emperor Yang of Sui's eldest son, Yang Zhao, passed away, his second son, Yang Lian, naturally became the crown prince. However, he was far less cultivated than his elder brother.
He was usually arrogant and unrestrained, behaving improperly, often indulging in a life of sensual pleasures and debauchery.
He also had a great fondness for women, engaging in an affair with Wang, the concubine of Daxi Tong, and later forcibly taking his wife's elder sister, Yuan. He was truly capable of all sorts of evil.
