This book tells the story of Empress Lu who came to the court to take control of the court, planned to kill the King of Zhao, tortured and killed the Qi family, and killed Zhao Yao in a drama, which shocked the government and the public. For the position of power, the granddaughter will be the son-in-law and the queen, the in-laws will be married, and the princes will be granted the title of king. For the sake of the country, he endured humiliation and resolved the sword fight between the Han and Hungarians, and gained recuperation for the Han Dynasty. Reduce taxes, save penalties, regulate the Yellow River, open up wasteland, and consolidate the political agenda. Ding Ming, Han Xin's disciple, disfigured himself, kept his name anonymous, and repeatedly harmed Lu Pheasant. Lu Pheasant always escaped from danger. Ding Ming drove away the dog infestation, and when he finally succeeded, he saw what Lu Pheasant had done for the people and the country, but it was too late. When he was dying, Lu Pheasant felt unwilling and wanted to do it himself while drinking the medicine, but he couldn't help himself and sprinkled a bowl of medicine soup on the loess.

It was an era that belonged to men - power, success or failure, honor and disgrace were all written by men. But Lu Pheasant was unwilling to do so. Every step she takes is deeply imprinted with the mark of that era: she draws strategies from men's wisdom, and also learns to survive from men's cruelty. History has not been fair to her. The history books of the Han Dynasty have been extremely belittled, and later generations have almost forgotten her achievements - the key role in the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, the iron-fisted decision to rule the dynasty, the forbearance to resolve the crisis between the Han and Hungarians, the foresight of frivolous corvee and low taxes, management of the Yellow River, and reclamation of wasteland... These have all been buried by time. This book is not to praise Lu Pheasant, but to restore the real her - how a woman obscured by history made her own way in a man's world.
