In 1898 AD, the Hundred Days' Reform failed. Liu Zhenbang, commander of Anqing, was ordered to search and seize the residence of Grand Secretary Wang Wenqian, who participated in the reform. On that night, Wang Wenqian entrusted his three underage daughters to the steward Ding. For future recognition, Mr. Wang split a jade pendant into three pieces, sewing each piece into the underwear of his three daughters. The steward led them out of the mansion through the drainage outlet. They encountered soldiers chasing and killing, and the three sisters got separated. That night, the Wang family was executed, and the mansion was burned to the ground.
One of the three sisters of the Wang family, the eldest sister Wang Ziqian, later changed her surname to Lin and her name to Xuelian. Known as the young widow, she has delicate eyebrows and clear eyes. The youngest sister Wang Ziying changed her name to Qiaoju, married into the Wu family with Lady Pan since childhood, and had a special affection for the handsome and elegant Master Wu. The second sister Wang Zi'in changed her name to Huang Mei'er and was taken in by the couple Deng Qingfeng from the Huangmei Opera Troupe.
