What are the real - life events that inspired 'The Greatest Showman' which is based off a true story?

Author's Note: The start of the story is very slow and cliche. Give it a chance until the wisp reaches the human cities. It's at that point that the book's charm shows itself (Around chapter 20, all free!). --- What if a wisp, with zero EQ about human culture and habits, gains the opportunity to finally achieve human form? Now he can enter cities, experience technology, and fight his way to the top, right? In this universe where wisps are seen as nothing more than resources, a wisp stands up to challenge the wisps' destiny! Not without causing a lot of misunderstandings on his way, of course… --- Realms: Qi Condensation; Foundation Establishment; Core Formation; Divine Soul; Soul Forging; Void Breaking; Divine Path; Divine View; Semi Divinity; Divinity. --- Transformation; Mortal Rejection; Godly Fusion; God Foundation; God Core; Nascent God; --- Semi-God Realm; God Trial Realm; Elementary God Realm; Primal God Realm; God Realm. https://discord.gg/mR3pzMN Buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/suiyan

The little princess of the Huo family, one of the wealthiest families, was mistakenly switched out nineteen years ago! The fake heiress is well-educated, talented, and doted on, while the real heiress is an uncontrollable girl who loves to fight, has a strange personality, and had dropped out of school very early… In her previous life, Xing Jiuan’s biological parents found her and brought her home at the age of nineteen. However, the fake heiress, Huo Chulan, still seemed to be the one-and-only young miss of the family while she was hidden away in the shadows. Xing Jiuan spent her twenty-first birthday alone. She was ignored and disliked by her real family. She stepped out of her house for the first time after a long while to see the world. However, she ended up dead by the roadside. After her rebirth, she is once again standing at the door, staring at her biological parents and two elder brothers. But this time, she says coldly, "I don't need a family." Surprisingly, the Huo family starts to shower her with limitless adoration. Everyone says that the Huo family is penny wise and pound foolish as they retained the incompetent real heiress of their family and chased the well-rounded fake heiress out the door. However, only Xing Jiuan's parents and elder brothers knew that Jiuan is the family member that deserves their love the most.

Tan Rou only learned that she wasn’t the Tan family’s daughter when she was seventeen years old. She went from being a rich young lady to living in the slums. The parents she adored belonged to someone else, and this series of knockdowns was hard for a seventeen-year-old girl to accept. She wailed like a child for the sake of proving this was all a lie. The vicious words she spouted had hurt her biological family but she didn’t notice. She thought the Tan family was her real family despite them seeing her as an eyesore, and was even naive enough to want to befriend the Tan family’s real daughter, Tan Jing. Alas, the latter drugged her drink and arrange for a thug to rape her. Tan Jing even brought their classmates along to catch them in the act so Tan Rou was now tainted for life. After being reborn, she looked down at the man she was stepping on. Tan Rou swore not to be a useless wretch in this life or be bullied to death. She would stomp on those who wronged her and make it up to her real family. They wouldn’t have had to die tragically on the streets in the past life had it not been for her. Tan Rou turned completely evil after crawling back out of Hell. Everyone claimed that the real young lady was educated and talented, while the fake young lady was arrogant and incompetent. Tan Rou scoffed upon hearing this. She held back her brother from trying to stand up for her. “We have all the time in the world. Let’s just wait and see.” Just as everyone was waiting for Tan Rou to make a fool of herself… A top-class perfumer, a top scholar, a world champion… The fake young lady’s multiple identities kept getting exposed one after another, bumping her up to number one on the trending search, shocking the world. Wait, where was the promised humiliation?

The lost daughter of the Liu family, Liu Feng, has been found. The whole family looks down on her. Liu Feng only had a small house in the countryside. She had a poor widow's mother and a stingy brother. She usually lived by herself doing small business. When Liu Feng was brought back, everyone was laughing at him. "She's far worse than her younger sister. Does she really think she's the eldest daughter? She's just a scapegoat." "She's just a poor girl from the countryside. She should be laughing to death to be able to marry a young master from a Lower Nine Flows Family!” However, Liu Feng's series of actions stunned everyone. Her so-called widowed mother was actually a famous lady in Paris, and millions of people would go crazy just to see her. Her so-called stingy brother was actually the chairman of a corporation with hundreds of millions of contracts. He held the power of life and death. The small house that she called home was actually the best villa in Washington. The property rights were all under her name. What she meant by doing a small business was actually investing in stocks, and she was the new stock god with a net worth of 100 billion… Everyone: "Where's the girl from the countryside?!" After Liu Feng broke off the engagement. Everyone questioned, "She definitely won't be able to get married!" Liu Feng married the powerful Third Young Master Gu. Everyone gritted their teeth. "She definitely won't have a happy marriage!" Liu Feng was someone that Third Young Master Gu treasured. Everyone was in despair. "She will definitely not receive Third Young Master Gu's care!" Third Young Master Gu said, "Madam Gu, it's getting cold. You should wear more clothes.” She was a supreme prodigy, and he just so happened to be her match. Persona: Liu Feng: Omnipotent girl, beautiful valiant, with many alternate identities. Gu Duo: Mysterious, powerful, handsome, rich, devoted.
