''Diao Chan'' was one of the Four Beauties of ancient China. She was said to have been born in [161]or [169] AD,However, unlike the other three beauties, she does not appear in any known historical writings, and is quite possibly a fictional character.Diao Chan assisted the official [Wang Yun] in a plot to persuade the warrior [Lü Bu] to kill his adopted father, the tyrannical warlord [Dong Zhuo]. She did this by becoming Dong Zhuo's concubine but also Lü Bu's betrothed, then manipulating the two through their jealousy and her charm. Dong Zhuo's tactician, [Li Ru], saw that the dancing girl was driving both the lord and the warrior mad, so he proposed that Dong Zhuo give Diao Chan to Lü Bu instead of fighting over her. Upon hearing this he threatened Li Ru with death and stated that no warrior was worth what Diao Chan was to him. Diao Chan had Lü Bu wrapped around her finger.
She told him that being with Dong Zhuo made her unhappy and wished to only be with him. Lü Bu was outraged and went to Wang Yun to plot Dong Zhuo's death. Lü Bu had to escape shortly after killing Dong Zhuo and he lost a battle to Dong Zhuo's generals. He did, however, meet up with Diao Chan once more. Diao Chan followed Lü Bu during his time as a rogue leader until he took Cao Cao's castle of [Puyang]. Together they were married and traveled the land until Lü Bu was later killed when [Cao Cao]'s forces overran his base at [Xiapi].
