"The Phoenix Rises from Qishan"
"I am the mountains and rivers, how can I distinguish between male and female?"
In the late Tang Dynasty, the emperor star rose.
In the last years of Dazhong, Xuanzong was critically ill, and the dim Tang Yizong came to the throne. The Li Tang Dynasty was crumbling in the afterglow of the prosperous age.
Li Chuyu was born as the eldest son of the prince of Qishan County - not the "female eldest son", just the eldest son. Taizong's direct descendant, the only daughter of the Qishan County Prince, guarded the northwest with her father since she was a child, and swept across the border with a horizontal sword. No one taught her "what a woman should be", she only knew that she should be a king and have the world in mind.
Li Ke, the legitimate son of the Li family in Zhao County, was the commander-in-chief of the Northeastern Frontier Army. He was as cold as frost and his sword was like a dragon. When they first met, she rode past his chariot, and the flying red silk brushed against his palm, like a fire burning into his heart.
"Do you want this world?"
"No, the world needs me."
From the northwest border to the Tai Chi Palace, she fulfilled the Ninth Five-Year Plan as a woman. She reformed the imperial examinations just because there were talented people from poor families; she suppressed feudal vassals just to make government orders clear; she added women's subjects just because she wanted everyone in the world to stand on the same starting line. Later, the women's department was cancelled, just because - there shouldn't be such a distinction.
