The butcher’s daughter was named He Lian. After she became the queen, she caused chaos in the court in order to fight for power. It was she who opened the door to the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms. She is the queen of Han Ling Emperor, and her father is a butcher. Born into an ordinary family, she was lucky enough to enter the imperial palace and was loved by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Not long after entering the palace, she was named queen and eventually became the queen mother. However, due to the Queen Mother He's interference in the government affairs, she first competed with the Queen Mother Dong for power, and then with her brother He Jin to control power, which led to civil strife in the entire court. Regardless of the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army, this gave Dong Zhuo the opportunity, thus opening the door to the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.

A few years after He Lian entered the palace, she gave birth to Liu Bian for Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, which made Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty very happy who had never had many children. After He Lian gave birth to her son, she began to become arrogant and domineering. In order to let the emperor only pamper herself, she began to restrict Emperor Ling's doting on other concubines. This made the romantic Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty very unhappy. Seeing that he could not control the Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, He Lian began to oppress other concubines in the harem and other children of the emperor. She even killed concubines with children so that her son could become emperor in the future. Because of this incident, He Lian's queen was almost deposed by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. However, she was eventually rescued by the eunuchs she had been bribing.

After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bian succeeded to the throne. However, the Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, was afraid that He Lian would become more unscrupulous, so she came out to participate in government affairs. As a result, He Lian began to compete with Empress Dowager Dong for power. But unfortunately, He Lian and his brother General He Jin conspired to kill Dong Chong, the pillar of Empress Dowager Dong. Empress Dowager Dong, who lost her pillar of support, later died of depression.

At this time, the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army became more and more intense. But He Lian and her brother He Jin had no political acumen, and actually believed that the most important thing was not to suppress the Yellow Turban Army, but to rectify the court. Eventually, the brother and sister clashed, and He Jin lured Dong Zhuo to Beijing to strengthen his own strength. Unfortunately, He Jin was killed before Dong Zhuo could come. Later, Liu Bian was pulled from the throne by Dong Zhuo, and He Lian was forced to drink poisoned wine and died by Dong Zhuo. From this point on, the door to the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms was officially opened.
