Ling Yunchu was originally the daughter of a merchant from the south of the Yangtze River. When she met Yao Muyang, the son of a marquis, she was so surprised that she proposed to marry her regardless of her family status. As soon as the novelty of the marriage wore off, she felt that she was "unworthy of publicity." She rarely returned home for three years at the border. She was attracted by the princess. After returning home, she reconciled with Ling Yunchu. Ling Yunchu took away her dowry, bought an island, and built her own business empire.
