Qin Ruolan became famous in 958 CE.
During that year, Tao Gu, a government scholar, was ordered to go to Jinling. With the government behind him, he was arrogant wherever he went. Several months later, Li Jing held a feast for him in Clearheart Hall and asked Tao Gu to drink from a giant bell, but Tao Gu ignored him. Li Jing lamented that the kingdom was about to fall.
Then he asked Ruolan to come out. She played music, sang, made tea, and poured wine for Tao Gu. Tao was ashamed and drank the wine. Everyone then wanted to see what Ruolan looked like, and thought while she was beautiful, her beauty was not celestial. However, by the end of the feast, they were all entranced by her, and since then have never forgotten about her.
They finally realized that delicate flowers speak in the language of charm, and where beauty walks, hearts are never free.
