[Tang] Wu Zetian Teaches a Socially Anxious Girl How to Be an Empress

[Only the title and blurb have been revised; the premise is unchanged] After transmigrating to the prosperous Kaiyuan era of the Tang dynasty, Li Ding'an was bound to the "Empress Training Livestream" System. Life points = Empress training progress. The good news: The livestream audience consists of women from across five thousand years of history. They are her strategists and her strongest support. The bad news: She has severe social anxiety. She stutters, wants to hide whenever she sees people, feels like crying after saying more than a couple of sentences, and her legs go weak in a crowd. She can't get three words out. 1. Li Longji invited her to a banquet. Afraid of the crowd, she could only stare at the shoes of the person sitting at the table in front of her. Empress Lu advised, "If you keep shrinking back and giving way, what will you ever get? Whatever you want, go and take it for yourself." Li Ding'an lowered her head even further. Later, Chancellor Zhang Jiuling found a list of bribes hidden in the boots of Xiao Jiong, Minister of Justice and a member of Li Linfu's faction. Zhang Jiuling: "Thanks to the princess's guidance, I noticed something strange about Xiao Jiong's boots." Empress Lu: "..." Li Ding'an: "??" She hadn't said a word. 2. Li Longji failed to act, so she plotted to become a regent princess. When Yang Guozhong pressed her at every turn, he demanded, "Then who does the princess believe Heaven's mandate belongs to?" Wu Zetian advised, "Rebels and traitors must be killed and replaced. Why bother with him?" Li Ding'an trembled and dropped her cup. The loud clatter made the court officials turn to look. "It belongs to me..." In her view, Heaven's mandate was really in everyone's own hands. Unfortunately, there were too many people present. She was frightened and couldn't get a third word out. The whole court erupted. The princess had stated this so calmly and confidently. Clearly, she already had ambitions to seize the realm. How brazen! Wu Zetian: "...This girl speaks just like me." Li Ding'an: I'm crying. She isn't that brazen! It's all a misunderstanding! When Chen Xilie kept using Daoist arts and tales of immortals to deceive Li Longji, Xu Fu advised, "This man can't be allowed to stay. Give him a taste of his own medicine. I'll teach you how to deal with him." Li Ding'an: "No, no. I'm scared." When An Lushan rebelled with his army, Empress Xuan, Empress Lu, and Wu Zetian tapped the screen so rapidly it shook: "This man must die!!" Li Ding'an: "No, no. I'm scared." And yet... Once she put on a Nuo mask, Li Ding'an felt as if she'd entered a world of anime, her chuunibyou spirit blazing to life. Pretending to be a deity, she hurled a fireball at Chen Xilie. It didn't burn him, but crashed to the ground with a boom and burst into flames. The medicinal powder inside scattered, leaving him writhing in agony. Li Ding'an waved her horsetail whisk. "Why are you still standing around? Seize this demon!" When An Lushan raised his troops in Fanyang, Li Ding'an wore a Mountain Spirit mask and charged at the front with a sword in hand. "Anyone who throws my country into chaos must die!!" As the other soldiers risked their lives in battle, Li Ding'an dragged An Lushan by the feet across the battlefield, hoping to haul him back to camp and tie him up so everyone would stop fighting. She casually swung a Fangtian halberd one-handed, sweeping aside any enemy in her way. She even raised her middle finger and taunted them, "Trash." "..." The ancestors: "Didn't you say you had social anxiety?!" Blushing, Li Ding'an replied to the comments, "It's because I covered my face. Then I don't feel held back." Later, when Li Ding'an was about to declare herself emperor, she finally revealed that she was the person behind the Mountain Spirit mask. Everyone: What?! The Grand Marshal of All the Armies and the Regent Princess are the same person!!! [Reading Guide] 1. This is a parallel world, a parallel world, a parallel world. It is not real history.
