From Prisoner of War to Queen: The Emperor’s Obsessive Devotion

She was a prisoner of war, thrown into a suicide battalion where death was certain.

Everyone thought she would be dead within three days.

Three days later, she led thirty battered soldiers on a night raid against an enemy camp of three thousand, returning with the enemy commander's head.

He was the King of Shang, kept under the thumb of the priesthood for three whole years, little more than a puppet.

Everyone urged him to kill this ill-omened woman.

But he said, “I want to see how high she can fly.”

Later, she became the first female general of the Shang dynasty.

She fought the Guifang three times, led five campaigns against the Qiangfang, and swept across the eastern tribes without a single defeat.

He abolished live sacrifices, slaughtered nobles, defied the will of Heaven, and stood against the world, all so he could have her by his side.

Later still, she became the Shang dynasty's first queen and commander-in-chief of its armies.

He took her hand and said, “I don't want a virtuous wife to support me from behind. I want a woman strong enough to shoulder this entire realm.”

She did it.

At thirty-three, she died in childbirth.

He held her body in his arms, and his hair turned white overnight.

For the rest of his life, he never took another queen.

Before every major battle, he went to pay his respects at her grave.

He built her a tomb grander than any emperor's, with 1,600 bronze objects buried alongside her.

Three thousand years later, archaeologists opened the tomb and found a line carved inside:

“In life, we shared a bed; in death, we share a grave.”

This is the legend of a woman who rose from slavery to become a god of war.

This is the story of a man who spent his whole life loving one woman.

This is the most passionate love story ever told, one that truly happened 3,200 years ago.
