Who were the most famous prostitutes in ancient times, and what was their final outcome?
In ancient times, brothel women were all top talented women, but their endings were actually because of their poor status. For example, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Dong Xiaowan, Chen Yuanyuan and Liu, who were called "Eight Colors of Qinhuai", were all very talented, but their endings were not very good.

Because of family changes, Dong Xiaowan had to promise to be a busker on Qinhuai River, but his mood was particularly high. She didn't want to flatter, so she annoyed many vulgar customers, but she was recognized by those elegant people. But after Dong Xiaowan met the pioneers, they fell in love soon. When Dong Xiaowan's mother died, Pioneer redeemed Dong Xiaowan and married him. However, it didn't take long for their good days to encounter national unrest. Dong Xiaowan took good care of the pioneers who suffered several serious illnesses during their migration. After starting a business in good health, Dong Xiaowan died unfortunately due to continuous fatigue. It can be said that although Dong Xiaowan has found his own happiness, he is not really happy, but has been working hard.

As one of the eight beauties in Qinhuai, Liu actually found her own happiness, but what is even more impressive is her love for the motherland. When the Ming Dynasty was preparing to surrender, Liu might have directly thrown himself into the river if Liu's husband hadn't obstructed him. Although Liu finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with her husband, she silently supported those people in the Ming Dynasty in private. Later, Liu committed suicide in his own home in order to keep her husband's property.

And I don't need to say more about the deeds of people like Chen Yuanyuan. As we all know, Chen Yuanyuan, who was crowned with anger and turned into a beauty, really brought disaster to the country and people. In the social background at that time, although these prostitutes were all talented women, people still had a lot of prejudice against them, which led to many tragic endings.
