Dongyue Kingdom has been the seat of the Kingdom of Abundance since ancient times. It is located in central Fujian and has Yongling Mountain. The witch Zhu of the East Yue Kingdom kept a big snake in Shiwanda Mountain, which was seven or eight feet long. It turned into a human form and was a source of disaster. The local people were frightened and sacrificed cattle and sheep to the snake demon one after another. They were safe for the time being. The witch dreamed of a snake that wanted to eat a girl. Local officials paid tribute one after another, either buying or extorting money. The snake demon must eat a girl every year, and it has been nine years now. Li Ji, the daughter of the demon hunter Li Dan from Jiangle County, has strong martial arts skills and looks like a flower. When the girl reached the age of seventeen, a matchmaker came through her family's doorstep, and there was an endless stream of suitors. Li Ji refused one by one. Someone told her about the snake demon's evil deeds. Li Jiyi was filled with anger and wished to destroy the snake demon. The young King of Yue issued a decree to reward the demon hunter with a large sum of money to eradicate the snake demon and eliminate harm for the people. Demon hunter Li Ji went to apply for the job, but was ridiculed by many male demon hunters. Li Ji didn't take it seriously and resolutely took over the imperial list. Uncle Wang saw that Li Ji was a frail little girl and didn't take it seriously. Chu Jun, the crown prince of Yue, admired her appearance and courage, so he disguised himself as Chu Jun and worshiped her as his disciple...

Wu Zhao, also known as Wu Zetian, was born on February 17, 624 AD and died on December 16, 705 AD. She is the only empress in Chinese history and an outstanding politician and poet. The author made some artistic fictions and processing through some historical materials, and she was praised a lot in the book. Wu Zetian was wise, wise, and capable of appointing talents. She relied heavily on Di Renjie, an important official in the imperial court. Wu Zetian knew the power of the emperor. She used cruel staff to rule out dissidents, slaughtered heroes, and then killed the common people. As a queen, it is not an exaggeration to have three faces. She embodies the pursuit of equality between men and women. In his later years, Wu Fu re-employed Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi, which planted the root of instability in the dynasty. Under Di Renjie's persuasion, it was a wise move for her to return power to Prince Li Dan. Later generations praised her a lot. Zhao Yi in the Qing Dynasty called her "the heroine of China and England". Guo Moruo: "The government started the Kaiyuan period and governed Hong Zhenguan, and the fragrant sword pavilion was used to benefit the state." Mao Zedong: "Wu Zetian is indeed a talented person in governing the country. She has the capacity to accommodate people, the wisdom to understand people, and the skills to employ people. She has promoted many people and killed many people. There are also many people who have just been promoted and killed."
