He had no say in the court, so he tolerated it.
Forced to decide the successor to the throne, he endured.
——He endured the humiliation and kept a low profile, waiting for a choice worthy of his life.

She is a humble businessman's daughter. She was bullied by her brother before entering the palace, and was ignored after entering the palace.

Yuanyuan liked Wu Zetian very much. After reading Zizhi Tongjian and New Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian was described as extremely sinister, as if she was born to harm the Tang Dynasty.
I was really angry, so I wrote about Wu Zetian from a different angle according to the historical records.
I've been too lazy to read history books lately... I'll update it from time to time.
