During the Shenlong era of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian died suddenly, leaving behind a treacherous and unpredictable court. At the instant a white silk cord tightened around her neck, Princess Taiping was suddenly reborn, returning to the turning point of her fate. In this life, she would no longer be the defeated figure who faded from the pages of history. She swore to take command of her own destiny.
Facing Empress Wei’s deadly schemes, Li Longji’s ambition, and the retired emperor’s unfathomable reserve, Taiping seized the opportunity presented by the “demon cat claiming lives” to establish the Office for Investigating the Strange. She recruited Su Wuming, a prodigy at solving cases, and Fei Jishi, heir to the Medicine King’s legacy. She also crossed paths with Lu Lingfeng, a valiant general and illegitimate son cast out into the common world, and the two met with mutual suspicion.
Behind a string of bizarre cases, the mysterious organization known as the Illusory Fire Cult lurked in the shadows. Using illusions to stir up the court, it drove a wedge between mother and son, and even reached its sinister hand toward the imperial throne. Taiping countered the strange with the strange and schemes with strategy, advancing step by step through bloodshed and turmoil.
From exposing the “heart fire consuming the body” in the Golden Chariot Hall and establishing her authority with a thunderous show of force, to the heartfelt moment when mother and son fought side by side to break an array at a Mount Mang sacrificial ceremony; from executing the traitor Wu Sansi at the Palace of Ten Thousand Forms, to personally leading an expedition to crush the Tibetan illusionists... Stepping over the corpses of her sworn enemies, she ultimately forged a legend as a woman emperor and founded the unprecedented Great Zhou of Taiping.
This is a story of power, family bonds, and redemption. Witness how Princess Taiping breaks free from the fate recorded in history, carving a path through a brutal age as a woman, and ultimately becoming an empress of her time as she writes a story of her own: A World at Peace.
No one is reading this. [Sending my heart] Give me five stars ※, please write it down, it's very interesting! I hope that many capable but frustrated characters will find a good ending in the future! Help, I have to wonder if this was created by AI. The author looks like a robot. But the writing style doesn't look like AI. Could it be that AI has become something I can't tell apart now? . .
The writing is okay, but the relationship between the characters is not clear.
