Romance of the Three Kingdoms
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wang Yun is the man responsible for Dong Zhuo's death. He accomplishes this by turning Dong Zhuo and his adoptive son, Lu Bu, against each other. Wang Yun uses his adoptive daughter, Diao Chan, to pull the father and son pair apart.

Wang Yun first invites Lu Bu over for a meal at his house. When Lu Bu had drunk enough, Wang Yun called in his daughter Diao Chan, whom Lu Bu immediately fell in love with on account of her beauty. Wang Yun promises to send Diao Chan to Lu Bu on a future date so she may act as his maiden, and Lu Bu leaves a happy warrior.

The next day, Wang Yun invites Dong Zhuo over, and uses a similar tactic, waiting for Dong Zhuo to drink a lot and then inviting in his daughter. Dong Zhuo acts much like Lu Bu, and Wang Yun decides to allow Diao Chan to leave with him.

Lu Bu his outraged when he sees Diao Chan with Dong Zhuo, so he immediately finds Wang Yun to ask for an explanation. Wang Yun claims that Dong Zhuo came into his home and demanded he have his daughter, and because of Dong Zhuo's position in the government, Wang Yun could not decline his request. Lu Bu believes him, and settles with seeing Diao Chan privately on occasion, when she can get away from Dong Zhuo.

Meanwhile, Diao Chan starts to cause a whole lot of trouble. When she sees Lu Bu she claims the Dong Zhuo treats her poorly, and when she sees Dong Zhuo, she claims that she fears Lu Bu and that he is trying to steal her away from Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo decides to move from the capitol to prevent Lu Bu from hurting Diao Chan. Lu Bu is heart broken when this move occurs.

Wang Yun approaches Lu Bu to ask what is going on, claiming he has been sick the past few days and has missed out on recent news. Lu Bu tells him the whole story, and Wang Yun hatches out a plan for them to rid of Dong Zhuo, claiming it was the only way for Lu Bu and Diao Chan to be reunited. Wang Yun suggests an officer go to Dong Zhuo and say that the Emperor wishes to pass down the throne to him. Dong Zhuo will not be able to resist, and will return to the capitol. Meanwhile, Lu Bu and Wang Yun, along with some other men, will hide and kill Dong Zhuo once he returns to the capitol.

And so, Li Su goes to Dong Zhuo and successfully convinces him to return to the capitol. Once Dong Zhuo enters, Wang Yun and Lu Bu jump out at him and he is killed. His head is hung outside the palace for all to see.

Wang Yun is later killed by an officer, Li Jue, whom was loyal to Dong Zhuo.
