A story that begins with love, ends with helplessness, and runs through with cruelty; restoring the complete and true Wu Zetian and her era from a human perspective.
The TV movie "Wu Zetian" adapted from this book is a hit. The book tells the story of Wu Zetian's ability to become the only empress of China, which is related to the evocative demeanor of the Tang Dynasty. During Wu Zetian's era, there was a bloody storm at the top and spy politics was rampant. Wu Zetian attacked the Guanlong aristocratic group and used all means to get rid of all those who hindered her ascension to the throne. However, she knew people well and promoted the imperial examinations. She protected and retained a generation of capable ministers such as Di Renjie, Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, and Zhang Jiuling. The lower levels were relatively peaceful, which made a good talent reserve for the prosperous Kaiyuan era.
