Not a sweet romance! One-on-one, both leads are powerful: Wu Zetian’s unmatched cunning, the Great Sage’s peak strength, a demon with a lifespan of a hundred thousand years sharing her bed, and two rulers rebelling together to overturn the Three Realms.
At her coronation, Wu Zetian’s soul is crushed beneath a stone stele formed from the Tathagata’s five fingers.
By accident, she transmigrates to the Kingdom of Women in Xiliang. On the day of her coronation, she discovers that she has once again fallen into a shocking conspiracy by the Buddhist sect.
· The River of Child and Mother hides a Golden Cicada, and the people are nothing but nourishment for its cultivation.
· The marriage contract is actually meant to make her practice dual cultivation with the Joyful Buddha, turning her into a furnace and a baby-making machine.
Faced with certain death, Wu Zetian awakens the Emperor’s Defiant System. Disliking its name, she renames it Slay Heaven and sets out to break the deadlock.
Even with a System, she is still only a mortal, so she needs a powerful ally.
On Slay Heaven’s advice, she realizes that, given how the Tathagata’s Five-Finger Mountain ground away her soul in her previous life, there may be someone in this Journey to the West world who shares her fate.
So she chooses the Great Sage beneath Five-Finger Mountain as her marriage partner. She goes to the mountain to ask Sun Wukong to become her empress.
The Great Sage sneers. “You want to marry your old Sun? What do you have to offer?”
Wu Zetian gazes toward Spirit Mountain. “I, the sovereign, offer my life! I promise to abolish the heavenly laws and burn the Buddhist scriptures, to rewrite the rules of the Three Realms. Do you dare tear down this false heaven?”
“Haha, now that's interesting. Your proposal, I'll accept. If you dare break your promise... I'll eat your flesh first, then shatter your realm.”
The marriage contract becomes a Love-Locking Bell, binding their fates tightly together. The Great Sage is gradually drawn to her, while Wu Zetian slowly comes to admire his courage and strength.
Through countless brushes with death, the two gradually accept each other without even realizing it...
