It was about the mandarin ducks in 'Dream of the Red Chamber'.

Then why would Yuanyang rather commit suicide or become a nun than be Jia She's concubine? Was it that scary to be his concubine?

Answer 1

Yuanyang was an important character in 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. She was the maid of Grandmother Jia and also Jia Baoyu's cousin. Yuanyang's personality was fierce and decisive, and she had a close relationship with Grandmother Jia and others. She had once betrayed Grandmother Jia, Jia Baoyu, and Xue Baochai for her own benefit in an attempt to win Jia Baoyu's favor. But in the end, Yuanyang's feelings and fate suffered a heavy blow. She eventually committed suicide and became a tragic character in 'Dream of the Red Chamber'.
