Luo Water Goddess : A Forbidden Love Affair In Chinese Three Kingdoms Period

Zhen Fu, named after the goddess of a river, was reputed as one of the most beautiful women in the Chinese Three Kingdoms Period. Widowed at the young age of twenty-one, she was captured and taken home as a war trophy by Cao Pi, the eldest son of warlord Cao Cao, king of the powerful Wei State. Besides her exquisite good looks, Zhen Fu was fiercely loyal and compassionate, and the members of the Cao household came to accept her as their own. However, her mesmerizing beauty triggered competition between father and sons, as each of them wanted to claim her as his own. Even though Zhen Fu was forced eventually to become the wife of Cao Pi, her heart belonged only to Cao Zhi, the gentle youngest brother of her husband, and a dreamy poet. Their tragic forbidden love affair rocked the rigid society of their time and became the most romantic legend in Chinese history.
