She is the first woman in Chinese history to take the title of emperor, but she is also the "Poison Queen" written by historians. At the age of sixteen, Lu Pheasant was forced to marry Liu Bang, the pavilion chief of Surabaya, who was more than twenty years older than her. A seemingly unsuitable marriage became the beginning of her entry into the whirlpool of power. From a bride in Peixian County to the master of Weiyang Palace, she experienced the war between Chu and Han for hegemony, the humiliation of being a hostage for two years, lost her love in the strife in the harem, and was tempered in the power game. This is the legend of how a woman grew from a political pawn to a chess player in a male-dominated world. She is not a born careerist, but a survivor who has been pushed to the pinnacle of power by the tide of the times. In this novel, Lu Pheasant will personally tell her love and hate, struggles and choices, presenting a more complex, three-dimensional and real image of a female politician.
