[Historical setting] [One female lead] [Disguised as a man] [A powerful woman building her career] [Court intrigue] [The greater good of nation and family] [A battle of equals]
The Duke of Zhenguo's entire family was loyal to the nation, yet they were framed by treacherous officials. Her father and brothers fell on the battlefield, leaving only widows behind. To uphold the family's warrior legacy, Lu Minghua puts on an ancestral jade pendant carved with a dragon and phoenix, disguises herself as her deceased twin brother, and takes up arms. The pendant can actually twist people's perceptions: even the imperial physicians can't detect that she has a woman's pulse!
From then on, Great Zhou loses a delicate noblewoman and gains a ruthless, iron-blooded goddess of slaughter. She quells rebellions, executes corrupt officials, and takes on powerful ministers! The political enemies who once kicked her when she was down are now beneath her feet, while the great houses that once stood above everyone else bow before her, begging the marquis to show mercy.
Just as she has become the most powerful person at court, commands the empire's armies, and is preparing to retire after completing her mission, the suspicious, mad tyrant corners her in the imperial study. “My dear subject, I don't mind your preference for men. You will take the throne of Empress, whether you want to or not!” Lu Minghua: Your Majesty, I really am a woman!
