Recently, Huanhuan, who was trapped in the drama famine, has revisited "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
In the drama, when the queen played by Ada Choi was a concubine in the royal palace, she did not hesitate to poison her own sister in order to gain power. This plot of brothers and sisters fighting for power and status is sad every time I see it.
all say that art comes from life. In reality, there is such a pair of sisters who have been jealous because of money and fame, and even failed to forgive each other until they were old.
They are the widows of President Kennedy Jacqueline and her sister Caroline ↓↓

Recently, a book called "The Fabulous Bouvier Sisters" revealed the past of the sisters. The elegant and noble first lady Jacqueline actually had a disgraceful history of beauty competition with her sister.
These sisters were originally rich girls from Long Island, New York. Because their biological father's stock career was in a slump. His mother, who pursued money and material things, remarried a wealthy oil company heir.

In order to allow their daughters to change their destiny through marriage, the mother has always trained them with elite education, allowing them to learn equestrians, table etiquette, and social tone. also teaches them how to please men.

Under the guidance of her mother, her sister Jacqueline quickly became graceful and learned superb equestrianism, and was above her sister in all aspects. My sister who lives in the shadow of her sister has since become more and more competitive with her sister.
After the two sisters grew up, their sister became a photographer for the Washington Herald Times, and their sister worked as actors, interior designers and other jobs.

At first, Jacqueline could not contact too many powerful people because of her work nature, which made her mother a little angry. Unexpectedly, at a dinner party in the next year, Jacqueline met Senator John Kennedy .
At that time, John Kennedy was a young and promising senator. He was 12 years older than Jacqueline, with a noble birth and a strong limelight.
John Kennedy
Although the two have a huge difference in family background, the versatile Jacqueline quickly helped Kennedy politically.
When he was with Kennedy, Jacqueline would not only talk about love like other girls, but instead helped him search for information in the library and write a Senate report, becoming his right-hand assistant in his work.
In life, Jacqueline also fully demonstrates her virtuousness and consideration. She will bring the food she cooks to Kennedy's office and eat and chat with him.
jacqueline's uniqueness also attracted the attention of Kennedy's father.
"There are no bachelors in previous US presidents!" After his father's advice, Kennedy soon realized that Jacqueline was the best choice for his marriage, so he gave a Van Clerk Arpels diamond ring to Jacqueline.
conquered the tall, rich and handsome Jacqueline, naturally felt very proud. She wrote down her mood at that time in her diary: "I finally got the most promising senator."
I heard that my sister had climbed into a political family, and her sister was not willing to be outdone. She planned to marry a rich man. In 1953, five months before Jacqueline's marriage, Caroline was the first to marry a wealthy publisher.
The sister married Quan, the sister married Qian, and the sister's marriage can be said to have reached a state of equal strength.
However, what my sister did not expect was that Jacqueline chose Kennedy as a high-performance stock. After the two got married for a few years, Kennedy rose to prominence in politics and became a presidential candidate.
As my sister is about to become the first lady, Caroline also hopes that her identity can go to a higher level. So she broke up with her publisher's husband and remarried to Stace Raziville, the prince of Poland.
Laziville has the blood of the Kingdom of Prussian, Polish and British aristocratic, but when he married Caroline, he was already in a down-and-out prince. But because of the prince's husband, Caroline still holds the title of "Princess Laziville".
One is the president's wife and the other is the noble princess. The two sisters are once again on the same level.
With the light of the first lady’s sister, the sister enjoyed a lot of special treatment. During Kennedy's presidency, Caroline followed her sister on almost all official visits, and visited Germany, India, France, etc.
The two sisters in fashionable clothes became a beautiful scenery among Kennedy and his group at that time.
However, the two sisters who seem to be peaceful on the surface have not stopped in secret.
Because Caroline got too close to her sister and brother-in-law, some rumors spread in the White House, and there were even news that she had an affair with Kennedy.
Although Jacqueline has always ignored these rumors, the invisible gap between the two sisters is getting deeper and deeper. 's battle for a man is gradually unfolding between the two sisters.
In 1963, Jacqueline and Kennedy's last child died of premature birth. She was heartbroken and suffered from migraine.
I don’t know whether it was out of sympathy or show-off, Caroline introduced her friend Onassis to her sister and invited her to take a cruise to relax.
, known as the "Greek Ship King", Onassis is a wealthy businessman in the shipping industry. He owns ships of a million tonnage, as well as the most luxurious yacht at that time - the Christina.
, who is already a princess in Poland, has a close relationship with this old rich man, and his ambition to become his next wife is also obvious. At that time, the Washington Post wrote: "Does this ambitious tycoon want to be the president's brother-in-law?"
learned that Jacqueline was going on a boat with Onassis, Kennedy, who was worried that she would "be a fucking fan", asked his wife to reject the invitation, and even knelt down and begged her not to go.
However, Jacqueline boarded the Christina cruise with her sister despite her husband's opposition.
soon, photos of the two sisters traveling with Onassis were released, causing an uproar. Jacqueline, who felt the pressure of public opinion, publicly stated that she would fully support her husband for re-election.
A month later, she followed Kennedy to visit Dallas.
It was in Dallas that something shocked the world happened - Kennedy was assassinated and died.
At 12:30 on November 22, 1963, Kennedy paraded in a caucus car to visit citizens. As the car reached a corner, the ambush gunman shot Kennedy, and the bullet hit him in the neck and head.
Kennedy fell into Jacqueline's arms and died soon after being taken to the hospital.
After the president was assassinated, Kennedy family also seemed to be cursed. In 1968, Kennedy's younger brother Robert was assassinated after becoming a presidential candidate.
Jacqueline is worried that the Kennedy family will become the target of the assassinator: "I hate this country, I despise the United States, I don't want my own children to live here." In order to protect herself, she made up her mind to cut off all her ties with the United States and the Kennedy family.
Finally, she made an amazing choice to marry Onassis.
On October 15, 1968, the Boston Traveler Herald reported that the two were about to get married, which caused a sensation across the United States.
Americans think that this Greek pirate kidnapped their first lady, and for her sister Caroline, it was more like a betrayal - The golden "Greek Ship King" should have been her prey, but was snatched away by her sister.
5 days later, Jacqueline's wedding with Onassis was held on the latter's private island Scorpion Island. That year, Onassis was 68 years old, while Jacqueline was only 39 years old.
Their combination, is more like a transaction than a marriage.
The prenuptial agreement between the two stipulates: Onassis paid Jacqueline $3 million, giving her two children a trust fund of $1 million each, 12% of the inheritance. After the two divorce or Onassis' death, Jacqueline will receive $200,000 in living expenses per year.
Despite conquering one of the richest men, Jacqueline's life after marriage is not perfect.
Jacqueline and Onassis
This couple lived a life of separation. In the late stage of their marriage, their relationship became even worse.
Onassis even publicly called Jacqueline "that widow", and occasionally mocked her for spending money and even cut her monthly living expenses.
After the plane crash of his only son, Onassis began to regard Jacqueline as an ominous sign, regretting not being able to marry a woman who could give birth to her.
Because the relationship between the two fell apart, Onassis also revised his will before his death. He listed his daughter Christina as the biggest beneficiary of his property, while Jacqueline received very little left in his inheritance.
Onassis's daughter Christina
After Onassis' death in 1975, Jacqueline, who had always shown herself as a noble lady, had to fight for the legacy with Christina.
In the end, Christina agreed to pay Jacqueline $26 million in one lump-off, ending the two-year tug-of-war. However, compared with the $1 billion inheritance inherited by Christina, Jacqueline's $26 million is no different from the hair.
In the 1970s, with the development of the feminist movement, more and more independent career women emerged in New York.
Perhaps inspired by the times, Jacqueline, who is already 46 years old, made the decision to return to the workplace after divorced again.
1975, she joined Weijin Publishing House as an editor after being introduced by a friend, and her annual salary of is only 10,000 US dollars. The money was not enough for her to buy a brand coat she once wore.
In the office, she often sits on the floor and discusses work with her colleagues. She wears as simple as everyone else, and she really washes away all the bad.
It was also that year that Jacqueline and her sister jointly published a European travel experience, which reviewed the dazzling time of their youth, as if they were saying goodbye to those luxuriant days.
It’s a pity that time has passed, and until Jacqueline’s death, the love and killing of the two sisters has not ended.
On the evening of May 19, 1994, Jacqueline died in her apartment on Fifth Avenue due to lymphatic cancer.
In her will, she arranged the inheritance left to her relatives clearly, but nothing was left to her sister Caroline.

In her last words, Jacqueline explained: "Caroline is my real sister. I have a deep affection for her, but because I have given her enough financial support before I was alive, she will not be my inheritance heir, and I believe she can understand it."
Perhaps, for these sisters who have fought for life, not saying goodbye is the best farewell.
Now, my sister Caroline is 85 years old and has various glamorous titles: celebrities, actresses, public relations executives, interior designers...
Caroline
in her life, she has earned a lot of glory and glory. However, no longer has the sister who competes with her all the time, Caroline alone and fragrant, she may feel lonely...
