Ancient concubines spared no efforts in pleasing emperors through various means, including using special medicines to enhance their beauty and charm. One such medicine was the 'Xijiwang,' known for its aphrodisiac and beautifying effects. Aside from this, ancient concubines were also known to consume garlic for its health benefits, and 'Longyan Xiang,' a fragrance made from a unique ingredient. These practices aimed at gaining favor from the emperors, but some, like long-term Xijiwang usage, could have adverse effects such as infertility.
