Rihanna is said to have many similarities with her Chinese concubine, why?

Why Rihanna Is Likened to a Fictional Concubine You Won’t BelieveThe alleged parallels between the life of Barbadian artist Rihanna and a concubine from the play “Empresses in the Palace” have stunned online users.

Recently, a netizen on the Chinese microblogging platform Weibo made An Lingrong, a fictitious character from the historical drama Empresses in the Palace, famous by drawing comparisons between An’s narrative and the career of Barbadian pop sensation Rihanna.

“An Lingrong was originally a singer, but in the second half of her life, she focused entirely on the research and development of chemicals and didn’t sing very much,” was the post that started the comparison. Does that not resemble Rihanna?

The pop star and the imaginary concubine side by side.

An appears in the 2011 Netflix series Empresses in the Palace as one of the concubines. The television program reimagines the Yongzheng Emperor’s court during the Qing Dynasty, with a focus on the dramas among his many concubines. An, portrayed by actress Tao Xinran, was chosen to join the emperor’s harem after being born into a typical household.

Her skills include singing and fragrance, but ultimately she turns to her knowledge of chemicals to induce miscarriages in other concubines. Many draw comparisons between An and Rihanna despite the latter’s decision to give up her music career in order to concentrate on beauty items, even if An’s narrative is undoubtedly worse.

Rihanna made her debut in 2005 and has since recorded several hits that have reached the top of the charts, such as “Umbrella,” “We Found Love,” and “Stay.” She has also received 33 nominations and nine Grammy Awards.

But Rihanna’s most recent album, Anti, came out six years ago. Rather, she has been concentrating on her makeup brand, Fenty Beauty.
