One day, Grand Situ Wang Yun went to inspect the countryside and accidentally discovered her with scars on her head. He asked his attendants to come forward and ask questions. The attendant thought she was dirty and ugly and refused to come near her, so she burst into tears. While crying, she wiped her face with her dirty and torn sleeves and scratched her scalp with her dirty hands. As a result, the ugly girl suddenly became a fairy.
Wang Situ felt that this girl was different from others, pitiful and cute, so he adopted her as his adopted daughter. She regarded her as his own and loved her as a treasure. Minks were rare animals in the mountains and cicadas were also beautiful things in the eyes of the ancients. So she was named Diao Chan. In addition, some people write Diao Chan as Diao Chan, thinking that Chan is used to express her beautiful meaning.

Character experience
Diao Chan first appeared in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the predecessor of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Diaochan is just her nickname, her real surname is Ren, and she was Lu Bu's first wife. After the two were separated in their hometown, they lived together and became Wang Yun's maid.
Wang Yun came up with a plan after learning about his life experience. He held a family banquet in honor of Grand Master Dong Zhuo and allowed Diao Chan to meet Dong Zhuo. Wang Yun hosted another banquet for Lu Bu to attend, allowing him to meet his first wife, and promised to reunite them officially another day. After that, Wang Yun sent Diao Chan to Dong Zhuo's house. Dong Zhuo mistakenly thought it was a generous gift from the king to himself. He was overjoyed and went to Yun Yuzhuo that night. After Lu Bu learned about Dong Zhuo's behavior, he was furious and entered the hall with his sword to kill the drunk Dong Zhuo.
In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Diao Chan took refuge from the palace due to the rebellion of the Shichangshi, and was taken in by Situ Wang Yun as a singing girl. . Seeing that the Eastern Han Dynasty was controlled by the traitor Dong Zhuo, Diao Chan burned incense under the moon and prayed to heaven, willing to worry about her master. Wang Yun happened to see it. Therefore, Wang Yun adopted Diao Chan as his adopted daughter and set up a series of beauty traps to drive a wedge between Dong Zhuo and his adopted son Lu Bu. Wang Yun first secretly betrothed Diaochan to Lu Bu, and then openly offered Diaochan to Dong Zhuo as his concubine. After Diao Chan married Dong Zhuo, she had an ambiguous love affair with Lu Bu and dealt with the relationship between father and son.
One day, Lu Bu took Dong Zhuo to court and went to Dong Zhuo's house to visit Diao Chan. Diao Chan and Lu Bu made an appointment to meet at Fengyi Pavilion. Diao Chan pretended to cry to Lu Bu about the pain of being occupied by Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu was angry. Dong Zhuo happened to be caught by Dong Zhuo when he returned home. He got angry and grabbed Fang Tian's halberd from Lu Bu and stabbed Lu Bu. This left an eternal legend of "Lu Bu playing with Diao Chan". ?
In Chapter 19, "Cao Cao fought fiercely in Xia Pi City, and Lu Bu died at Baimen Tower", Lu Bu was besieged by Cao Cao's army. Diao Chan did not want her husband to break out of the siege alone, and vowed to "live with him" Living together, we will live together in the same cave, and we will not be separated until death." Lu Bu was deeply moved, and gave up Chen Gong's clever plan, only having fun with Diao Chan every day, regardless of the war on the front line. Finally got sacked.
