Cui Shi was attracted by his talent and character, so she decided to become his wife. Later, Wang Bo became a famous writer and politician of the Tang Dynasty, and Cui Shi became one of the most outstanding prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

"A son-in-law with a dragon's back" was a story that described a son-in-law with a noble status. In the story, a son-in-law meant that a man of noble status married a woman of low birth but outstanding talent and noble character, becoming a symbol of status and wealth. This story could be traced back to the Han Dynasty. It was said that Empress Guo, the second daughter of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, married Liu An, the son of Prime Minister Liu Bo. Although Liu An was born in poverty, his wife, Queen Guo, was a virtuous and talented woman.

Later, the phrase " son-in-law " was often used to describe the lucky ones in marriage, especially those who had obtained higher status and opportunities through marriage. For example, in the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi's Song of Everlasting Regret, there was a line: " I don't know where to play the reed pipe, but all the conscripted people look for their hometown overnight. At dawn, the palace walls of the White Emperor were 100 feet high. When the lecher was young, the emperor's son cried on the execution ground. Asking you how much sorrow you can have is like a spring river flowing eastward." The " lecher " in this poem referred to Huang Chao, the famous leader of the peasant uprising in the Tang Dynasty. Although he had once revolted in Chang 'an, he was eventually suppressed by the imperial court and became a tragic figure in history.

For example, when you buy a cheap phone and find that the performance of the phone is not as good as promised by the merchant, it can be said that the merchant's behavior is fishy. In short, the story of the cat and the mouse originated from the Scholar's Unofficial History and was used to describe deceptive things.
