At that time, Dong Zhuo monopolized power, coerced the son of heaven to make the princes, the ministers hated him to the bone, but dared to anger and dare not speak. Wang nine for this matter also unhappy, all day long do not think about tea and rice.
Although Diao Chan was a woman, she saw Wang Yun's thoughts in her eyes and remembered everything in her heart. She is very good at reading the face, sharing the worries of the master. One moonlit night, Diao Chan set a incense table in the garden and prayed for his Lord. She devoutly lit three pillars of incense fire, looked up to the sky and said: "Bright moon, bright moon, although you are clear and white as a wash, you know my master's heart trouble? Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Although I am a female, master's servant girl, if I can share your sorrow, I am willing to die." Just at this time, Wang Yun because of worry country upset, sleepless night, came to the back garden to enjoy the moon. When he heard someone praying, he hid behind a rockery and listened. After hearing Aunt Sable's wishes, he felt extremely excited and grateful, and hurried forward to help the singing girl.

Later, Wang Yun and Diao Chan agreed to sacrifice Diao Chan to Dong Zhuo first, and then secretly promised Lu Bu, so as to alienate the two men, and let the two Dong Lu plot against each other and kill each other.
Diao Chan had a small earlobe and was afraid of his own inadequacy, which would make Dong and Lu look down on him and make the plot fail. She tried to make up for it, thought for a long time, and finally came up with a good method, took some pieces of silver at home, and asked the silversmith to make a pair of silver earrings for themselves, hanging on the earlobe. After a while, the earlobes really grew, adding a lot of beauty to her beauty.
