It is said that some rich children hid when they saw the princess. However, in other dynasties, people still wanted to be the husbands of princesses. Some people even abandon their wives and children because they want to be Xu. For example, Chen Shimei, who is very popular among the people, is such a person. But in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a man who refused to marry the princess. Facing the persecution of the princess, he even broke his leg and ran away.
This man is Wang Xianzhi, the great genius of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He is the son of Wang Xizhi. Because of his scholarly background, he is also well-read in poetry. He was very famous at that time, and many folk women worshipped him. Unfortunately, he already has a wife. Later, Princess Sima Daofu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty wanted to choose a Xu, so she took a fancy to him.
He refused because he had a wife, but the princess pressed him so hard that he had to burn his leg and use some circuitous methods to make the princess give up the idea of choosing him as her husband. Who knows, even so, the princess did not give up but was moved. He had to marry the princess and divorce his wife. Later, Wang Xianzhi died early because of the sequela of depression caused by missing his original wife.
