About This Novel
After Li Zhi passed away, Wu Meiniang killed her own son in order to ascend to the throne. Finally, when there were few descendants of the Li family, she was able to ascend the throne and proclaim herself emperor, becoming the first recognized and justifiable female emperor in Chinese history. After proclaiming himself emperor, Wu Fu underwent a major change. He gradually abandoned cruel officials and appointed ministers with both ability and political integrity. The country became stable and united, people's living standards continued to improve, and the social upward trend was obvious. As the female emperor, Wu Fu also wanted to have a huge harem like the male emperor. Monk Huaiyi, Zhang Changzong, Zhang Yizhi and other handsome young men came into her life. This was definitely a great challenge to tradition in feudal society. However, Huaiyi and the Zhang brothers were not good people, and they were also a prominent failure of Wu Fu's rule.
