As soon as Gu Qingyi opened her eyes, she became the daughter of the Tang Dynasty's criminal minister who wiped out her family, and was forced to enter the court as the "first female champion" to play chess.
At this time, Empress Wu was in court, the prince was competing for the throne, the family was in conflict, and everyone wanted to step on her bones to ascend to the throne.
But they didn't know that beneath the skin of this gentle and talented woman, there was a Black Lotus from a thousand years later.
Testing drugs, solving crimes, making soap, refining incense, treating epidemics, and promoting business, she amazed the court with her "study of investigating things"; creating characters, controlling rumors, swaying political opponents, and managing people's hearts, she used the art of public opinion in the rice circle as an imperial strategy.
When her political opponents wanted her dead, she would ruin their reputation; when powerful officials wanted to take advantage of her, she turned them into a ladder to heaven; the people regarded her as a living bodhisattva, and the courtiers feared her like a monster.
From redressing grievances and revenge to controlling the court situation, from Empress Wu's chess piece to the most dangerous opponent, Gu Qingyi finally understood: It is better to seize the imperial power than to rely on the imperial power.
Wu Zetian can be the empress, why can't she?
In this life, she will not be a talented woman, a wise minister, or anyone's sword.
She wanted to create a god with her own hands, and then ascend the throne with her own hands.
