Taizong collapsed.
I was pressed on a bluestone slab and my head was shaved, and I became a ninth-grade widow waiting to die in Ganye Temple.
Kneeling on the futon next door is Wu Meiniang, the future emperor of the ages.
The start is absolutely hellish: no money, no power, no system, and you have to face a blizzard that is about to freeze half of the people in the temple to death.
But I don't panic.
Because in my mind, I have the daily life details of every coup and every prison in the Tang Dynasty in the next fifty years.
Concubine Xiao Shu sent someone to assassinate her? I chopped the eunuch to death with a hatchet, and in a series of tricks, I asked the king and queen to carry a sedan to invite us back to Tai Chi Palace.
Depose Wang Liwu? Wu Meiniang and Changsun Wuji were in the front stage, killing each other like rivers of blood. I was in the backstage, quietly swallowing up the inner treasury, and recruiting the Beiya Imperial Army.
Are cruel officials rampant? I made a bet in advance and forced Di Renjie and other important officials of the country into dead soldiers who only recognized me.
Everyone thinks that I, Chen Ayuan, am the most obedient dog and the sharpest knife around Wu Meiniang.
Until fifty years later.
Luoyang Divine Capital, Mingtang Hall. Wu Zhao put on the imperial robe with a red face and prepared to change Tang Dynasty to Zhou Dynasty.
The palace door was kicked open by me.
Half of the civil and military officials in the court knelt down to call me my mentor; one hundred thousand imperial soldiers all had their swords pointed at her dragon chair.
I stepped on Danbi to the highest point and looked at her stunned face.
"I have been playing this game with you for fifty years. Sister Wu, it's time for you to give way."

The pace is tight and the writing is exquisite; to be honest, I was in a book shortage period and couldn't get excited about reading many novels. But after I accidentally clicked on this book, I was deeply attracted. It's definitely not a lie, it's really good.
