According to the Records of the Grand Historian (史记), Bergsi-Si did not like to smile, and King Yuyi of Zhou tried all sorts of ways to make her smile, but Bergsi-Si never smiled. King Yu of Zhou set up a beacon and a drum, and when an enemy came, he would light the beacon to summon reinforcements. On one occasion, when King Yu of Zhou lit the beacon, all the lords came with their troops.
When the lords arrived, they realized that there was no enemy, and Baosi laughed when she saw how frightened they were. King Yu of Zhou was so happy that he lit the beacon fire several times. Then the lords stopped believing and gradually refused to come when called.
In the eleventh year of King Yu of Zhou (771 BC), the state of Shen, together with the state of Zeng and the western barbarian Inu Rong, attacked King Yu of Zhou, and King Yu of Zhou lit beacons to summon the lords to help, but the lords did not come to help. The Injun finally killed King Yu of Zhou under Mount Li and captured Baosi, and the Western Zhou Dynasty fell.
