How was the life of a concubine's daughter in ancient times? Was it as difficult as in novels?In ancient times, the lives of concubines varied in different dynasties and regions, but generally speaking, the hardships and challenges they faced were common. The status of a concubine's daughter in the family was low, and she usually could not inherit the family's property and status, nor could she enjoy the honor and glory of the clan. In addition, the daughter of a concubine also had to face the pressure of marriage and childbirth, especially in families with many children. They might have to constantly compete to marry or leave behind descendants.
In ancient society, concubines were often discriminated against and treated unfairly. They might also be bullied and oppressed in various forms. For example, in Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu, as the daughter of a concubine in the Jia family, was often ostracized and bullied by the aristocratic young masters. Her life was very difficult.
Although the life of a concubine's daughter in ancient times might be more difficult, literary works often exaggerated or fabricated some plots to increase the drama and plot twists of the novel. Therefore, the actual life of a concubine's daughter might be different from the description in the novel.

Was it true that a concubine's daughter couldn't be a wife in ancient times? Why was there a phenomenon of a concubine's daughter being the mistress?In ancient Chinese society, there were different views on whether a concubine's daughter could not become a legitimate wife. In some novels, the daughter of a concubine might be regarded as an " illegitimate wife ", but there was no law that said that a concubine's daughter could not become a legitimate wife.
In ancient society, men's marriage was determined by family power and social status rather than personal moral character. Therefore, men usually chose women who matched their social status and family power as their wives. If a man had multiple sons, he might choose to leave his property and power to his sons instead of leaving all his property to himself and his wife. Under such circumstances, the daughter of a concubine might be considered to have more potential to inherit the family property and thus be chosen to be the main wife.
However, even in this situation, a concubine's daughter could still become the main wife. For example, in some novels, a concubine's daughter finally gained the recognition and respect of the principal wife through her own efforts and intelligence, and became one of the principal wives. In addition, in some novels, the daughter of a concubine could also become the matriarch and control the family affairs. This phenomenon did exist in real life.
In ancient times, whether a concubine's daughter could become a wife depended on the social background and legal provisions at that time, not the plot of an ordinary novel.
