In the midst of the afterglow of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the rise of Wu Zhou, "Viewing the Zhou with a Crane" unfolds a magnificent picture of power and intrigue.
In AD 690, during the Double Ninth Festival, the city of Chang'an, which should have been full of joy, was shrouded in tension and solemnity. Empress Dowager Wu changed the name of Tang Dynasty to Zhou Dynasty in front of the Zetian Gate Tower and opened the Wu Zhou Dynasty. However, during the enthronement ceremony, Luan Jia suddenly caught fire, causing shock in the court. Wu Yi, who was responsible, was reprimanded, and the father of the male protagonist Wu Henian was also imprisoned innocently.
Wu Henian, a passionate young man who was only 18 years old, was handsome and unrestrained, with justice and wisdom in his heart. Faced with his father's injustice, he went to the palace to request a thorough investigation regardless of the difficulties and obstacles. In the court, he argued hard and finally got the Queen Mother's permission, and he embarked on a journey to find out the truth.
In this process, Wu Henian dealt with various forces, walking on thin ice every step of the way. He not only has to deal with powerful people with ulterior motives, but also has to break through the obstacles of many conspiracies. As the investigation deepens, he discovers that there is a complicated web of power hidden behind it, which can affect the whole body.
In this ever-changing court, can Wu Henian single-handedly clear away the fog while protecting the stability of the new dynasty? "Looking at the Week with a Crane" will take you through a Tang Dynasty full of power struggles and unpredictable people, and witness the protagonist's legendary journey of adhering to justice in difficult situations and counterattacking in the whirlpool of power and conspiracy.
