Quest for the Wu family
They seduced the emperor, calling themselves the two saints, thus reversing the order of yin and yang. The emperor and his concubine consorted, and the concubine poisoned her husband; they disregarded all principles of human relations. Poisoning his own relatives reveals his venomous heart. The country was in turmoil, and the people wept bitterly.
When it comes to political maneuvering, you really can't outmaneuver Wu Zetian. In the TV series *Detective Dee*, there's a scene where Lu Zhong confesses that he struggled throughout his life in the vortex of politics. Do you, a novice newcomer, really think you can outwit such a cunning and calculating person?
Firstly, it's clear the author included Wu Zetian to advance the plot; she has a significant role in the story and is obviously an important character. However, the author completely disregards the fact that Li Xian, upon assuming power, should have treated Wu Zetian accordingly. Imprisonment? Are you playing house?
Is Wu Zetian the female lead? Li Xian was Wu Zetian's biological son.
Tsk
How should I put it? It's quite ironic. I really don't know what the point of investigating Wu Zetian's so-called contingency plans was. They said it was for revenge, but they didn't punish the main culprits, kept them locked up and served them, and let them cause trouble. They went to find those low-level officials who were carrying out the orders, supposedly to lure the snakes out of their holes.
Fun fact: If the main character doesn't have any special abilities, he'll die within 5 months.
The protagonist is 40 🙂. Li Xian was born in 655, and Wu Zetian was 695 after 5 years as empress. He's an old man.
A little thought
The system rewards and the mismatch between timelines are a brilliant idea. The system program represents the past, the system rewards lead to the future, and the protagonist's thoughts and activities connect the two to form the present. While reminiscing about the struggles, the reader enjoys the delayed gratification provided by the system and simultaneously fills in the gaps in their…
Does the main character sleep with the female lead?
The most compelling part of writing about Li Xian is his power struggles with Wu Zetian and the difficulties he faced. It would be best to either start from his time as crown prince or depict his gradual rise to power after being deposed. Skipping the entire process would be inappropriate.
