Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were famous beauties during the Three Kingdoms period. The sisters rarely appeared in public, but it was rumored that everyone who had seen them was amazed and said they had seen fairies. Even Cao Cao, who was far away in Luoyang, had heard of the beauty of the two Qiao sisters, which shows how famous the two sisters were at the time.
After Sun Ce led his army to capture Wancheng, he happened to hear that the two Qiao sisters lived on the outskirts of Wancheng. He and Zhou Yu went to visit them. He also joked with Zhou Yu that although Mr. Qiao’s two daughters were beautiful, I would marry the elder sister and you would marry the younger sister, but they were very lucky to get husbands like us who were both beautiful and talented!
Later, Sun Ce married Da Qiao and Zhou Yu married Xiao Qiao.
Both couples were deeply in love, but unfortunately their love did not last long.
One year after Da Qiao married Sun Ce, Sun Ce was injured by an assassin. She stayed up all night to take care of him, but Sun Ce still did not get better and died at the age of 26. Da Qiao was so grief-stricken that she almost jumped into the river to commit suicide, but was stopped by someone. She remembered that Sun Ce had asked her to take care of his younger brother Sun Quan before he died, so she gave up the idea of committing suicide for love and assisted Sun Quan wholeheartedly until Sun Quan ascended the throne and then left to live in seclusion alone.
