Synopsis: Empress Wu: Sun and Moon Beneath the Heavens
Beneath the green lamp and ancient Buddha at Ganye Temple, she was once a concubine of the late emperor, and now a fallen nun.
With a letter written in blood, she cut off her hair to declare her resolve. Wu Meiniang forged her despair into a blade.
Returning to the palace, she used her beauty as bait, her talent as a game piece, and her cunning as her strategy, advancing step by step across a board ruled by men.
From concubine to empress, from ruling behind the scenes to reigning beneath the sun and moon: she was Li Zhi’s wife, the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, and history’s only female emperor.
With a gripping short-drama structure, this work delves into Wu Zetian’s harrowing journey from the depths to the summit, portraying her lonely struggle and triumphant breakthrough amid power, love, and fate.
More than an epic tale of rising against the odds, it is the story of a woman who, in the darkest straits of her era, made herself into a legend.
