The real Zhong Wuyan in history is ugly, but smart. She was born in Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. According to relevant records, her head is big and her neck is thick, her facial features are very uncoordinated, and her skin is still dark. Although ugly, Zhong Wuyan is determined to marry Wang Sungui Hou. People often laugh at her for this, but Zhong Wuyan doesn't think so. She didn't get married until she was 40. After Qi Xuanwang acceded to the throne, he just wanted to have fun and put politics completely behind him. As a result, the development of Qi became more and more backward, and the people of Qi complained bitterly.
As a people of Qi, I naturally feel the same way about this mood. She didn't want to see Qi die, so she risked her life to meet him in the capital. Finally, after meeting Qi Xuanwang, Zhong Wuyan told him about the difficulties of our predecessors and the faults in Qi Xuanwang now. In addition, it also showed the four major crises that Qi faced one by one, and advised Qi to die if he did not repent.
Qi Xuanwang woke up after hearing what Zhong Wuyan said, so he later regretted it. Not only that, Qi Xuanwang also dismissed all his concubines and made Zhong Wuyan the queen. After that, when dealing with political affairs, if he encounters difficulties, he will ask Zhong Wuyan for advice. After changing the attitude of governing the country, the decline situation before the Qi Dynasty began to flourish. Because Zhong Wuyan's experience is so legendary, later generations adapted her story into a drama and created a fictional character like Xia Yingchun to make the story more interesting.
