When he woke up, his soul penetrated Wu Zhou! Zhang Xuan looked at the unfamiliar face in the bronze mirror. Before he could digest the shock of time travel, he was drawn into the turbulent power whirlpool of Wu Zetian in his later years. Above the court, the undercurrents of the Li family and the Wu family are surging, ruthless officials are rampant, the two are trying to seize power, and all forces are watching.
Relying on the wisdom and courage of his previous life, Zhang Xuan made clever arrangements and maneuvered around the Queen's couch and among the ministers. He helped Wu Zetian consolidate the imperial power, but he also quietly strengthened his own power in game after game, growing from an unknown minor official to a powerful minister step by step. During the ups and downs, he walked around the court, witnessed the bloody coup of Shenlong, and also witnessed the twilight and end of a generation of queens.
When the new emperor ascended the throne and the country was reset, Zhang Xuan chose to retreat bravely. Taking off the official Tang Dynasty uniform that symbolized power, he rode a skinny horse, carrying half a jug of turbid wine, and hid deep in the green mountains. Looking back over the past few decades, those power struggles and life-and-death battles have finally turned into a legend in the long river of history.
