This article is based on the historical background of Wuzhou, and the characters' lives, timelines, and historical events are all artistically adapted, and have nothing to do with real history.
Liu Ruxu played Wu Zetian's double in Hengdian for seven years. Her highest achievement: dead bodies 37 times and the back of the head 12 times.
Once she traveled through time, she became the real stand-in empress of the Wu Zhou Dynasty - her predecessor's body had just been collected, and on the first day she took up the post, she was seen through by Di Mingyuan, the powerful minister of Dali Temple.
She thought her death was imminent, but he handed her a life-and-death contract: during the day, she would be her puppet empress; at night, she would belong to him.
She was forced to sign an ancient version of the contract of prostitution, only to discover that the rumored "Living King of Hell" would silently hand her ointment when the soles of her feet were worn out, and would openly stand in front of her when the Manchu Dynasty launched an attack.
When she used modern KPI assessments to drive civil and military officials crazy, and used Excel thinking to find out the household department's shortfalls, those who wanted to see a joke discovered that this "fake empress" was more difficult to deal with than the real one.
And he stood behind her, watching the chess piece he polished with his own hands turn into the chess player step by step, his eyes changed from a calm inspection to a possession that could no longer be hidden.
"My people must not be hurt." He put the dagger into her palm and declared hoarsely.
Only then did she realize that the contract that started as a threat had already changed in Bu Bu Jing's heart.
But the political situation is like a chess game, with the prince pressing hard, two Zhangs attacking, Princess Taiping treating her as a confidant, and even the real Wu Zetian is slowly awakening deep in the secret passage.
Is she a pawn that can be discarded at any time in the hands of others, or is she the irreplaceable heroine in his heart?
When the mask is completely torn, can they finish this drama of concealing the truth and finish this sober and fallen love?
Purpose: Use modern workplace thinking to deconstruct the dilemma of ancient imperial power, break the routine of "substitutes must be clumsy, and power tactics must be cold-blooded", and write a growth arc for sober and independent women who do not rely on or blindly obey in desperate situations, and realize their self-worth with professional abilities and a clear mind. It advocates a healthy love concept of two-way running and mutual achievement, breaks the cold logic of "utilization first" in Machiavellian literature, and demonstrates that love and trust can transcend power calculations and redeem the core of people's hearts. At the same time, through the game of court and the struggle of human nature, it conveys the positive values of sticking to the bottom line in adversity, retaining the original intention in good times, and the weak can overcome the situation, and encourages readers to stay awake in difficult situations and control their destiny with their own strength.
