Chen Yuanyuan became an actor in Tian Hong. Tian Hong suffered from the death of the imperial concubine and gradually fell from power. In order to consolidate his position and seek support in troubled times, he intended to make friends with Wu Sangui, who was very prestigious and armed to the teeth at that time. Wu Sangui marveled at Chen Yuanyuan's beauty.

At the request of Sangui, Tian Hong presented Yuan Yuan to Wu Sangui and bought a generous dowry for Wu Fu. After Li Zicheng peasant army captured Peking, Yuanyuan was captured by Liu Zongmin. Wu Sangui wanted to surrender to the peasant army, but when he learned that Yuan Yuan had been robbed, he flew into a rage.

Later people call it:

Mourn all six armies,

Anger at the crown is a beauty.
