One-line pitch: The Noble Consort ascends the throne, and everyone kneels and sings her praises
Li Ezi was the most favored Noble Consort, and one of her two sons had been made Crown Prince. She thought she could coast through life in comfort, until one day she saw the scrolling comments.
[This is the most tragic Empress Dowager in history. In the end, everyone in her family dies except her.]
[The damn Crown Prince has so many women even at this age. No wonder he kicks the bucket at twenty.]
[The damn emperor trusts Yang Jian so much, even though Yang Jian is the one who destroyed your kingdom.]
Li Ezi suddenly learned the tragic fate awaiting her entire family. In an instant, the way she looked at her husband and sons changed.
The Crown Prince spent one night with three palace maids, so the emperor replaced everyone in the Eastern Palace with eunuchs.
Comments: [What good will replacing them with eunuchs do? That bastard will eventually make five women empresses!]
Li Ezi went straight to the Crown Prince and drugged him. From then on, he became utterly chaste and indifferent to desire.
The emperor trusted the Crown Prince's father-in-law, Yang Jian, completely, entrusting him with all kinds of military power.
Comments: [What an idiot of an emperor. Yang Jian's Sui dynasty will rise to power by stepping on you.]
Li Ezi handed the Crown Princess, Yang Lihua, a cup of wine. Yang Lihua personally took care of Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian.
The emperor was gravely ill and wanted to pass the throne to the Crown Prince.
Comments: [I'm done. What's the point of passing on the throne? That bastard Crown Prince will kick the bucket at twenty.]
Several months later, Empress Dowager Li Ezi ruled from behind the scenes.
After the realm was unified, envoys from Dongying came to China to learn all sorts of things.
Comments: [You see those Japanese and you should just wipe them out and make Dongying a province. And you're giving them money so they can learn? This is doomed!]
A few years later, Dongying became a commandery of the Zhou dynasty, and Li Ezi appointed its governor.
Korea and Dongying became protectorates of the Great Tang.
The Turks became a protectorate of the Great Tang.
Tubo and Dashi became protectorates of the Great Tang.
History books a thousand years later: Li Ezi, the founding empress of the Tang dynasty, was the only female emperor in five thousand years of history. A great ruler who presided over a golden age, unmatched throughout the ages.
