The Cai Wenji we are talking about today is not the Cai Wenji in the glory of the king, and in history, Cai Wenji is a generation of talented women. Cai Wenji( 蔡文姬), courtesy name Wenji , was a famous female writer of the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the daughter of the famous Cai Yong , erudite and talented , with outstanding musical and literary talents since childhood.

His father Cai Yong was imprisoned by Wang Yun for lamenting dong Zhuo's defeat and death.
After Cai Yong's death, there were li dai and Guo Feng riots in Guanzhong, the Southern Xiongnu took advantage of the opportunity to rebel, Cai Wenji went into exile with Chang'an refugees, encountered Southern Xiongnu soldiers, and was later abducted by the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King forced Cai Wenji to marry him, Cai Wenji lived outside the Sai for twelve years, and gave birth to two children for the Zuoxian King.
As Cao Cao swept through the north and became stronger, Cao Cao heard that cai Wenji, the daughter of his teacher Cai Yong, was still in exile, and he immediately ordered someone to bring a thousand pairs of gold and a pair of white bi to redeem her. At that time, King Zuo Xian was very fond of her, and she was reluctant to have two children, so she finally chose to return to Han because she missed her homeland, and immediately wrote "Eighteen Beats of Hu Di".
Cai Wenji returned to her hometown of ChenLiu County, and under Cao Cao's arrangement, Cai Wenji married Dong Qi, the governor of Tuntian. This marriage is not harmonious, Dong Qi's style is flourishing, a table of talents, at that time Cai Wenji was over thirty years old and married twice, Dong Feng was still reluctant in his heart, but there was no way, this was arranged by Cao Chengxiang, and he could only obey orders.
Later, Dong Qi was sentenced to death for committing a crime, and Cai Wenji rushed to Cao Cao to intercede after hearing the news, when Cao Cao was entertaining guests, only to hear a report outside the door that Cai Wenji had asked to see the chancellor. Only to see Cai Wenji with her hair scattered and barefoot, prostrating her head to intercede for Dong. Cao Cao said, "Wen Zhi has been sent", and Cai Wenji said, "You have thousands of good horses, and the number of good generals is innumerable, and do you still spare a fast horse to save a dying life?" Cao Cao was greatly moved after hearing this, and pardoned Dong Qi, and from then on, the knots in the hearts of the two were finally unraveled.
