The Song Empress: Turning the Tables from Beside a Coffin

This book is also known as The Imperial Preceptor of the Great Song, How to Drive Every Official at Court to Despair, and I Am the Empress. If You Don't Like It, Keep It to Yourself.

She never wanted to fight for power, but every man at court insisted on standing in her way.

Chancellor Cai Jing wanted her dead. The Censorate impeached her day after day. The conservatives called her “a hen crowing at dawn.”

If they were going to trample her for holding office, she might as well claim the highest seat of all.

If they said women couldn't do it, then she would show them exactly what it looked like

when a woman became emperor.
