I hold a nine kilogram bronze ax in my hand, carrying the destiny of the king and protecting the people below. I am not afraid of the flames of war on the battlefield.
I am the queen of Wu Ding, the 22nd Shang King of the Shang Dynasty. I am the creator of the Shang Dynasty's resurgence era and the defender of Chinese civilization.
I walked into the royal court from a noble princess of the tribe and was loved by the King of Shang all my life. Among the sixty beauties in the harem, I was the most favored and special woman.
I fought in all directions, and the bloody glory was written in the bronze ax and the chariot. I have only lived for 33 years, but I have commanded an army of 13,000 people, galloped on the battlefield more than 90 times, and defeated more than 20 countries.
Although I was in a dominant position under the authority of the theocratic king and husband, I became a priestess with unlimited say in making decisions on national policies.
I have a fiefdom with the most fertile land and three thousand private guards, which can enrich the people and prosper the country. She was hailed as the "Nine Heaven Mysteries" by the people.
Not only did I live a great life, but I also died an honorable one. King Wu Ding of Shang made an exception and buried me next to his palace and stayed with me day and night.
I was buried with 1980 exquisite items in my tomb. There are 468 bronzes, 755 jades, and 6,800 seashell coins. King Shang also held ghost marriages for me three times, fearing that I would be lonely in the ghost world.
This is me, Fuhao, the woman who has been engraved six hundred times on oracle bones, a woman who has written down a unique and glorious life for three thousand years.
I was moved by her win-win life experience of love and career. I traveled through the oracle bone inscriptions recording her and used modern language to introduce her glorious career and romantic love story that will last forever...

Buried for three thousand years, once the world heard about it, this strange Chinese woman was so beautiful.
