The main world!

In 683 AD, Emperor Gaozong of Tang passed away.

Emperor Xianzong ascended the throne, only to be demoted three months later. Emperor Ruizong took the throne and was confined to a side palace. The Empress Dowager, Li Wushi, held the reins of power, no longer hiding her ambition to become emperor.

She appointed ruthless officials to eliminate her enemies.

She promoted Buddhism to manipulate the people.

Amid the treacherous transfer of power, heads rolled and rivers of blood flowed. One hundred and thirteen households of the Li Tang imperial clan, descended from Li Hu, were slaughtered until the clan was nearly wiped out.

Such was the state of the court.

The martial world was no more peaceful. The Empress had a master named Wanwan, whose heavenly demon dance made her seem like an immortal Buddha descending to the mortal world.
