About This Novel

During the Yuan Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was in a special situation of "two saints coming to the dynasty", Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. The court was divided into two major camps: the high-ranking families headed by Cui and Lu controlled the core power by virtue of their millennium-old family status, but their power was continuously diluted because of Wu Zetian's promotion of imperial examinations and the unconventional use of scholars from poor families, so they secretly formed an alliance against the military; Wu Zetian used the power of poor families to check and balance high-ranking families and stabilize the foundation of the court. At this time, Emperor Gaozong was ill for a long time, and the power of the government gradually fell into the hands of Empress Wu; the prince Li Hongren was filial but weak and had political differences with Empress Wu; the second son Li Xian was smart but had a grudge against his mother because of rumors that he was not the biological son of Empress Wu. The undercurrents of the palace and the court are intertwined, and the power game is bloody, laying the groundwork for conspiracy and suspense.
