The World’s Winds and Dew Never Reach the Orchid

Li Hui, a woman with a PhD in history, transmigrates to the ninth month of the first year of Dazu in the Wu Zhou dynasty, on the third day of the month. She becomes Li Xianhui, Princess Yongtai and granddaughter of Wu Zetian. Li Xianhui is married to Wu Yanjie, the dashing Prince of Wei, a peerless young gentleman. They are the envy of everyone in Chang'an, a perfect couple seemingly blessed by the heavens. But that very night, her husband offends Zhang Yizhi, Wu Zetian's favorite, and is beaten to death by imperial order at Daming Palace. Historically, Li Xianhui suffered a difficult childbirth and died from her grief. Li Hui says, since I've come here, I'm a woman with a PhD in history. With a cheat sheet in hand, how could I fail an exam? If you, Wu Zhao, can be empress, why can't I, Nonghui?
