Why did Xiao Fengxian, the chivalrous prostitute of the Republic of China, fall in love with Cai Songpo first and then marry a boiler worker?

She was originally the daughter of a Manchu military attache and a Manchu. Later, her family moved to Hangzhou. After her parents died, she was adopted by a wet nurse. She changed her surname to Zhang Fengyun after her. During the Wuchang Uprising, he fled to Shanghai with his nanny to study art, and gave himself the stage name Xiaofengxian. Later, when she went to Beijing, she met Cai E and fell in love with her. Later generations have the legend of her and Cai E.

She first learned singing from a man named Hu, and later followed him to Nanjing to sing. But at that time, Nanjing launched a revolution. Many warlords were attacking Nanjing, so she had no choice but to follow her boss to Shanghai. The boss sold her to a novelist as a slave. Later she followed the novelist to Peking. The novelist transferred the little fairy to a troupe to sing. At that time, Yuan Shikai became emperor and was afraid that Cai E would cause trouble for him, so he left Cai E in Beijing. Cai E fell in love with Xiao Fengxian, in order to confuse Yuan Shikai.

Later Yuan Shikai finally relaxed his vigilance towards Cai E. Cai E left the capital under the pretense of going out with Xiao Fengxian. He ran to Yunnan. Later, after Cai E dealt with Yuan Shikai, he himself died in Japan. There was nothing left for Xiaofengxian, so Xiaofengxian could only wear black gauze to worship him. Later, after the founding of New China, Xiao Fengxian met a boilermaker whom he knew from the fourth Miss Zhao's family. The boilerman had always liked Xiao Fengxian because he had seen her, and they both liked listening to storytelling.

And they were both single, so they got married. After the marriage, Xiao Fengxian changed her name to Zhang Xifei. Stepmother to the boilermaker's four children. Later, after that man died, she lived with his daughter. But his family never knew that he was Xiaofengxian. Later, her life was very tight. When she heard that Mei Lanfang, whom she had known before, passed by where she lived, she asked her neighbor to write a letter for him to meet Mr. Mei. She told Mr. Mei that she had received nothing after Cai E's death and her life was not good now, so Mei Lanfang helped her find a job.
