Great Tang: My Whole Family Faces Certain Death, So I Force Wu Zetian to Become Emperor

After transmigrating to the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan era, Wu Yuan becomes a cast-off from a collateral branch of the Wu family.

Wu Shiyue has just died, and his sons are fighting over the inheritance and driving people out. The original owner faces a deadly predicament that threatens to wipe out his entire family.

Wu Yuan looks at the down-and-out clan aunt being driven from her home, shivering in the rain: Wu Xu, later known as Wu Zetian.

He gives a cold laugh.

Become a lovesick lapdog? Cling to her for protection?

No! This is a pretty small thigh right now. He’ll have to build her up himself!

To break out of this predicament and save his life, Wu Yuan becomes the mastermind behind the scenes. He takes the fallen Wu Meiniang under his wing and launches an all-out “Empress Development Plan.”

Before she enters the palace, he teaches her the art of ruling and the ways of cunning and ruthlessness.

After she enters the palace, he frantically advances technology from outside its walls: making refined steel, developing firearms, building a secret intelligence network, and using technological superiority to quietly destroy the Guanlong aristocratic families!

Changsun Wuji sighs in despair: “Who exactly is targeting me from the shadows?”

Li Shimin stares in shock: “Who could have made such divine weapons?”

Years later, in Luoyang, the divine capital.

In court, Empress Wu Zhao commands the world. Her officials tremble as heads roll.

But once she steps down from the dragon throne and dismisses everyone else,

this decisive ruler, an emperor for the ages, sweetly takes Wu Yuan by the sleeve and gazes at him with smoldering eyes. “Chang Yuan, I’ve conquered this whole realm for you. When will you agree to become its master?”

Wu Yuan: “Auntie, please behave. I’m just an honest man working behind the scenes.”
