Following the interlocking stratagems1（方案，计谋） they had laid, Wang Yun betrothed2（订婚） his step daughter Diao Chan to Lv Bu, then, to sow discord3（挑拨离间） between the two, presented the girl to Dong Zhou as a concubine（妾，情妇） . Lv Bu was furious, and each time he met Diao Chan, the latter feigned4（假装） a sad tearful look.
One day, while Dong Zhuo was in court, Lv Bu rushed back to Dong Zhuo's residence to see the girl. In the Fengyi Pavilion the girl said to him with a desperate look, I have prolonged my life in disgrace simply so I could have a final meeting with you and let you know my feelings. I should have waited upon you but unfortunately Dong Zhuo took me by force. We can only meet in the next life So saying she meant to throw herself into the lotus（荷花） pool. Lv Bu hurriedly held her back and swore, How can I be a man if I fail to marry you?
Suddenly aware of Lv Bu's absence, Dong Zhuo, suspicious, rushed back to his residence to see Diao Chan was nowhere. The service maids told him the girl and Lv Bu were in the back garden. Dong Zhuo rushed there and at the sight of the two, roared with anger. Lv Bu fled. When Dong Zhuo got back to his bedroom he saw Diao Chan's face was tearful. Being demanded for an answer, the girl said, I was enjoying flowers in the back garden when Lv Bu stole in to take my liberty. I tried to escape but he drove me to the pavilion with his lance Before long the interlocking stratagems worked out-Dong Zhuo was killed by Lv Bu.
