Later, she also suffered a tragic Jingkang incident (1 126 to 1 127). At that time, the nomadic Nuzhen Jin tribe captured the emperor of the Song Dynasty and all members of the royal family, and the capital of song dynasty was destroyed, and half the territory of the Song Dynasty was in chaos and war. After witnessing the best and worst times of this empire, Li Shishi mysteriously disappeared.
Li Shishi, the most beautiful and talented prostitute in Li Shishi, was born in a craftsman's family. She was one of the most famous prostitutes in Song Dynasty. When she was four years old, her father died and she was sold to a humble house, where she learned a lot of talents. Later, she grew up and became a very beautiful woman, good at singing, dancing and literature. She became the most talented and popular prostitute in the capital of song dynasty, which gave her the right to be picky. Only talented people have a chance to meet her. Many famous poets have written many beautiful poems for her to enjoy or sing, and some of them have romantic stories with her.
The Romantic Encounter with the Emperor Evonne of the Song Dynasty heard the beauty of Li Shishi in his palace. Although he has many beautiful queens, he still wants to see her. So, with the help of officials, he disguised himself and went to visit her under a pseudonym. Although Song Huizong Emperor Evonne was a bad king, he was a very talented artist and scholar. He won the heart of Li Shishi with his outstanding works of art, was deeply impressed by Li Shishi's beauty and talent, and fell in love at first sight. After that, he began to meet Li Shishi frequently in brothels. In some unofficial history, it is said that he invited Li Shishi to the palace and made her a concubine in the harem.
A few years after the Jingkang Rebellion, the nomadic Nuzhen invaded the Song Dynasty, and Evonne immediately abdicated to her son Zhao Huan. After the two emperors made a series of stupid decisions, the Song Dynasty failed, and members of the royal family, a large number of officials and skilled civilians were all captured. In the capital of song dynasty, countless treasures were destroyed, tens of thousands of people were slaughtered and a lot of money was robbed. In that disaster, the fate of everyone, including Li Shishi, changed cruelly.
Her ending has several versions, different novels, poems, or gossip. They are all reflections of people living in this devastating tragedy.
The most popular story about Li Shishi's mysterious ending after the disastrous war is that she failed to escape. Her beauty and fame spread to the Jin people, who immediately sent people to look for her after they broke into the capital. Li Shishi was soon arrested and forced to serve the jurchen Jin Wang, but she didn't want to do so. So she swallowed her gold jewelry and died. She sticks to her rule that she will only be with people she appreciates and will never go against her wishes. Many people highly praised her loyal, firm and brave behavior. Everyone knows that she can make any monarch in the Jin Dynasty like her, but she chose to be a dignified person.
Another theory is that after Evonne abdicated, she was expelled from the palace. When Jin's army first invaded the capital of the Song Dynasty, a great official, Li Gang, commanded the army of the Song Dynasty and tried his best to protect the city. As an experienced and intelligent person, Li Shishi donated all his money, went to a temple and lived a very simple life from then on. However, her insight made it impossible for her to predict the tragic outcome, despite her best efforts to contribute and leave all the chaos and conflicts behind.
In other novels, Li Shishi managed to escape from the capital under the protection of a brave swordsman associated with her. In this process, they suffered a lot until they reached the south of China, where they established a new life. Li Shishi buried his extraordinary past and lived an ordinary life from then on.
Anyway, this beautiful and intelligent woman disappeared after the devastating tragedy. Like other civilians living in those invaded areas, she experienced and witnessed countless bloodshed, despair and isolation. When the country collapses and meets such a cruel enemy, everyone's life is ruined.
